Song of Deborah brings to life Israel's first prophetess and judge- a woman whose calling shattered cultural norms and whose leadership exalted her nation. Wooed by the wind, by the love of her husband to be, and by the voice of Yahweh Himself, Deborah leaves forever the security of her father's house. Her faith becomes buffetedand sharpenedby pagan culture. Her unusual reltionship with Yahweh draws derision from devout and pagan alike. Then, despite wrenching and personal sacrifice, she emerges as God's oracle and instrument for reuniting Israel.
