The website features Deborah's two great Bible fiction novels, Polished Arrows and Yohanna, both published by Capstone Fiction. Polished Arrows is the story of the prophetess Devorah, from Judges 4 & 5, and Yohana is the woman mentioned in Luke 8:3 who helped support the ministry of Yeshua (Jesus) by her wealth.  Deborah has drawn on her own experience of being miraculously healed from breast cancer in the writing of this second book. Both books are told from a Messianic Jewish perspective, are encouraging and informative, and just plain fascinating for Jews and Christians alike.  Everyone I know who has read her first book said they couldn't put it down!  Her second book has just been released (January 2008) so look for it at CFO events soon!
