Burnt Offering — Vivian Zabel

A mondern tale set in ancient times, Burnt Offering contains suspense, romance, and a problem found still today, the sacrifice of children through neglect, abuse, and murder.

Judah, 8th Century BCE ... King Ahaz sat and watched his own infant placed in the hands of a red-hot bronze idol. He heard the child's screams over the beating of 100 drums. He watched the child turn red, then black as it burned alive. He smelled the odor of burnt
skin. Yet, he and his followers did what Moleck wanted, killing their own children.

Would a hero or heroes step forward to save these children? Is today's society following Moleck's edicts?
