About the Book Ezekiel’s Song

Book: Ezekiel’s Song

Author: Naomi Craig

Genre: Biblical Fiction

Release date: August 16, 2022

A prophet’s heart broken, a woman’s joy gone.

What does Yahweh have planned for His people?

On the brink of Jerusalem’s demise, devoted priest, Ezekiel, sees the insincerity of Judah’s worship. Despite his efforts to call the people back to true worship of Yahweh, priests, artisans, valiant warriors, and royals are exiled to Babylon. When God gives him messages of continued judgment for the people in his homeland, his heart breaks. How can he minister to the people from so far away?

The presence of the Lord is tangible when Shiriel sings in the temple, and her voice prepares the hearts of many to worship. When she is exiled to Babylon, her faith is shaken.

Does the Lord’s presence extend beyond Jerusalem and His holy temple?

Ezekiel is struck mute and paralyzed as he begins his prophetic ministry, and Shiriel devises a plan to get the Lord’s message back to the unfaithful people of Judah. Shiriel struggles with discontentment as serving the Lord looks nothing like she’d imagined. Can she provide for her family and carry out her husband’s ministry when her joy is gone, and her own dreams are placed on hold?

How will Yahweh save His people from themselves? Find out in Ezekiel’s Song!

My Thoughts on Ezekiel’s Song

Ezekiel’s Song is a Biblical fiction story that will rivet you. I’m not normally a huge fan of Biblical fiction but I couldn’t put it down.  This is the second book in a series as well.  Rahab’s Courage is the first book in this series and it’s also a fantastic read.  I highly suggest you read them both though you don’t have to read them in order.

In Ezekiel’s Song, you of course get to know Ezekiel.  But, I mean, he becomes paralyzed and mute so while he’s a great character he’s not the main focus here.  The main focus is on his caregiver, the woman behind the man so to say.  I love that this book highlights a caregiver. 

A main theme in the book is working together.  This is a relevant theme whether you’re a young child or a married woman because everyone is going to have to work together with someone else.  

I don’t know if you’re like me, but when I read the Old Testament I read it much like a story.  Kind of in the sense of oh yes and this happened and it was this and it affected people like this, but not as if it could affect me today.  When in truth, as you can see through this story, it can still have an impact on us today. 

Please read this great story.  You won’t be disappointed.

More from Naomi

What do you recall about Ezekiel?

The wheel within the wheel?

The dry bones living.

Ezekiel 4:9 bread?

Did you know the Lord asked him to prepare his food over human dung? Or that he was paralyzed for about 14 months? What about mute for seven years?

There are so many bizarre prophecies and symbolism in the book of Ezekiel. So many prophecies that are yet to be fulfilled. Raise your hand if you tend to skim through these parts of God’s word.

I do.

But when I read Ezekiel a couple of years back, the story really jumped off the page.

What about the people who lived with the prophecies and symbolism?

Ezekiel saw the Lord, and the message He gave was one of Jerusalem finally meeting their just reward.

The only problem is Ezekiel is already in Babylon.

Oh and there’s the whole paralyzed and mute thing.

How can a man who is physically and geographically bound get this message a world away?

What was it like to live on rations of war (contrary to how today’s scientists have discovered the right combination to make nutrient-dense, protein-packed super bread?) in a land that wasn’t suffering from famine or scarcity?

How did the prophet respond when the people who heard the message in Babylonia and Jerusalem brushed it aside as inconsequential?

Ezekiel’s Song explores the lives of those affected by the prophecies. You’ll meet Ezekiel–in the priestly service, turned prophet, Shiri—the Bible states Ezekiel had a wife, her name and backstory is my imagination, and Gilead—a fictional valiant warrior from Jerusalem.
