"Az, the jeweler to the King of Babylon, is a successful businessman. But lately he feels compelled to craft the intricate and unusual brass sphere that keeps appearing in his dreams. Now his family thinks he’s crazy to even consider setting aside his flourishing business working in gold to build a useless brass ball—just because his dreams keep asking, 'What gift will you bring?' Perhaps it has something to do with his peculiar new Hebrew beliefs.
Now, to make matters worse, the king’s top general needs a jeweled tiara in time for his daughter’s wedding. Can Az refuse a man who holds absolute power over the lives of so many? And will his worldly desires prevent Az from doing what God asks of him—even though his mission is far from what he believes it is?" [From back of book]
