5 Volume set of the The Promised Land Series


Volume One - Pillar of Fire
9781577347224
523 Pages
Set in 601 B.C., the novel centers on a brusque, unsavory character from 1 Nephi, Laban, who has come into possession of Hebrew ancient texts (brass plates) and a mystical sword symbolizing Jewish lineage. After the war with Babylon, Laban has risen to Captain of the Guard and has ambitions to become king of Israel; opposing him are Lehi and Uriah, leaders of a sect who prophesy the coming of a messiah. Woolley interweaves biblical, Mormon, and fictional characters in this sprawling though effective tale, of great appeal to Mormon readers but likely to seem obscure to non-Mormons.

The prophet Uriah is on trial for treason, having intercepted sensitive military letters from Captain Laban. If Laban and the elders in the Jerusalem City Council have their way, Uriah, and the secrets that could prove to be Laban's undoing, will be forever silenced. Against such powerful odds, there remains but one person who can save Uriah: the prophet Lehi--but only at the risk of his own life, and the lives of his family members.

It is six centuries before Jesus of Nazareth will be born, and Jerusalem is in turmoil. As the conflict with Babylon escalates, the ruling classes of Judah threaten any who dare oppose their tenuous power. The Holy City is destined for destruction. But amid the mayhem, two prophets of God come forth - Lehi and Ezekiel. However, both are in danger of losing their lives. Zadock, Cheif Elder of the Jews, and Laban, Captain of the Guard, desperately seek to eliminate all voices of opposition as they attempt to seize broader power. Lehi and his family have narrowly escaped from the corrupt city into the Judean wilderness, where the patriarch must contend not only with enemies pursuing them through an unforgiving land, but also his two defiant sons. Meanwhile, Ezekiel has been imprisoned on false charges of inciting a tax revolt. He knows he must escape if the prophecies he has received are to be fulfilled. An epic tale of loyalty and betrayal, strength and faith, volume three of this richly written saga sweeps the reader back through time, and vividly brings to life the trials and triumphs of important scriptural figures as they venture toward a Promised Land.

Old World, 600 BC: Under mandate from their prophet father, the sons of Lehi face treachery and lethal danger as they seek to secure the brass plates from the ruthless Captain Laban. Meanwhile, Zoram and Elizabeth work feverishly to smith new plates for engraving the prophecies of Jeremiah - a vital task that must be completed before the Feast of the Trumpets, also known as the Day of Remembrance. Old World, 19th century: In his home built above the remains of Laban's treasury, Sephardic Jew Reuben Kessler anticipates the marriage of his son Danny on the Day of Remembrance. But when tragedy strikes on the blessed day, the devastated fathers of the bride and groom must cling to their faith that God will remember His covenant people. New World, 19th century: Commissioned by the angel Moroni, Joseph Smith Jr. endures harrowing challenges as he prepares to receive the plates of gold and translate them into the Book of Mormon. The fulfillment of ancient promises draws near as Joseph returns each year to the Hill Cumorah on the Day of Remembrance. Three families, three stories - yet in the grand design of the Lord, they intertwine as one. This fourth volume in the Promised Land saga bridges ancient and modern times to reveal the unfolding of a marvelous work and a wonder.

Volume Five - Compass of God

When Mulek, son of King Zedekiah, secretly surfaces in Jerusalem some years after his escape, he brings with him a mysterious and legendary object: the curious compass reputed to have guided Noah's ark to safety. As Mulek seeks to conceal the coveted treasure, four other exiles approach the city: the sons of Lehi, who fled their homeland with the brass plates only to receive God's decree to return and claim their intended wives, the four daughters of Ishmael. Sariah joyfully begins planning a wedding in the desert, but the long-absent brothers are hardly received with open arms, and securing their brides-to- be becomes a challenge as formidable as eluding the officials enraged by Laban's recent murder. As persecution rages under the hand of Laban's cruel successor and Babylonian armies gather for war, a young woman must risk her life to protect the Liahona, the compass that will lead God's chosen people to the land of promise.
