Impossible Oath

About the Book

“Am I my brother’s keeper?” History first records this question in Genesis 4:9 of the Holy Bible when God asks Cain, “where is thy brother Abel?” Since that time, Cain’s reply has been framed many times; “Am I my brother’s keeper?” In I Samuel 20:14-16 we find Prince Jonathan making a covenant with his brother-in-law, David, who has been anointed by Yahweh himself to be the next king of Israel in Jonathan’s place. “And you will not only while I live show me kindness of the LORD that I die not,” Jonathan petitions David, “but also, you will not cut off your kindness from my house forever; not even when the LORD has cut off the enemies of David, everyone, from off the face of the earth.” Will David be able to keep his promise, or will circumstance make it an impossible oath?

About the Author

Tucked away as she is in the scenic Sierra Nevada Mountains of Mariposa California, life has been mostly pleasant for Mary. She is married to a man she loves; has two sons who have given her no cause to worry; and now has three beautiful granddaughters reaching the age of maturity who have followed in their parent’s footsteps. Yet, even in the midst of all these blessings, Mary knows what it is to have life crash about her ears. The Curse is the third in a series of six Biblical novels Mary has written about one of the least talked about yet most notable princes in the Bible. A once living, breathing, person, who left us an example of how to get up and walk on for the number of years that God has given to us.
