Fire in the Gates / Petty, Thurman Clayton, Jr / (PB/1988-1988/B+/USED)

Book is in lightly used and very clean condition.

News of King Jehoiakim's surrender to Nebuchadnezzar's army penetrates Jerusalem with the speed of gossip, fulling every heart with nausea of terror. By the thousands they stampede into Hezekiah's tunnel, climbing down half-empty cisterns, crawling into subterranean caves below their homes - any place that offers a refuge from the lustful eyes and bloodthirsty swords of the Babylonians.
Soon the cobblestone avenues fill with hostages, for the enemy knows all the likely places people will hide. The prophet Jeremiah watches from atop the northeast corner of the Temple walls, overlooking the gathering area. He spots his beloved friend Daniel, the prince - his unusual intelligence, his striking good looks, and his fearless devotion to his Creator would have been such a blessing to Judah! Such an injustice!
Within hours the enemy and the hostages march out of sight toward the north. The prophet covers his face and weeps.
