The majority of the Israelites had forgotten the true God, who in the past had done great miracies in order to save them from their enemies. One woman, Deborah, was willing to set herself apart and take upon herself the spiritual leadership of her nation. God confirmed this calling by giving her gifts of prophecy and wisdom that brought spiritual renewal to Israel and enabled the Israelites to overcome their oppressors.

This book aims to show children how much influence just one person serving God can have in a world where many have forgotten who God is. It is retold by Marlee Alex, mother of three daughters, columnist, and author of several books on family topics. The Spanish artist José Pérez Montero with his highly imaginative illustrations recreates vividly the life and times of Israel during this period of Old Testament history.
