Mefiboset

Denied the throne as king of Israel and crippled for life at age five, Sett spends his early years fleeing his grandfather King Saul's enemies. Inheriting his gigantic grandfather's height and good looks along with his father Jonathan's positive attitude, Sett uses his wits to get out of life-threatening situations in Israel, Babylon, and Assyria. Despite his handicap, the beautiful Kissara becomes his wife, King David becomes his friend, and the forests become his mission. Though he must constantly deal with three enemies who do everything they can to make his life miserable, Mefiboset, grandson of a king, is an overcomer, a climber, a conqueror who triumphs in the end. (At the back of the book are discussion questions for book clubs and Bible classes.)
