Behold the Glory

Miguel F. Brooks meticulously translates the 177 chapters that tell the glorious story of the origins of the Solomonic line of the Emperors of Ethiopia. The text - at least seven hundred years old - contains a moving account of how the Queen of Sheba met Solomon, how the Ark of the Covenant came to Ethiopia with Menelik I and the incredible journey and conversion of the Ethiopians to the "Lord God of Israel." With grand clarity and precision, Brooks allows the glory to be felt in the reader's heart and soul.
