Behemoth

A runaway. A cursed voyage. A storm no ship should survive.

In 770 BC, a Hebrew fugitive whose name means Dove flees his calling, boarding the Dror—a Canaanite vessel whose very name means Freedom. At its helm is a seasoned captain, but freedom will soon be tested to the breaking point.

Among the crew: Shimon, an Ethiopian Jew of Ham’s line, and Arktos, a towering Grecian giant. Both steer the massive twin rudders. Yet trouble brews when Ignatius, the prideful first mate with betrayal in his heart, brands the fugitive an enemy.

The Dror sails into an Erakladon—a furious storm that rages for days. As the battered ship groans, a monstrous shape emerges from the depths. To the terrified Greeks, it is Cetus of ancient legend. To the captain, it is the Dag Gadol of Hebrew prophecy.

As waves reach their peak, the runaway’s secret is exposed. Judged guilty of abandoning his duty, provoking gods both Greek and Hebrew, and awakening the sea beast, he is sentenced to die.

Only a miracle can save him… but will one come?

Richly illustrated, this thrilling Christian adventure explores faith versus disobedience, pride versus humility, and the power of forgiveness.
