About "Until My Name is Known"(Tell of My Kingdom's Glory, #1) :

The Exodus of the Jews from Egypt is a love story between God and His people. God woos His people to Himself as He prepares them to leave. Before leaving, God must fight Pharaoh for possession of His people. See how God changes all people: some for the better, others not. None stay the same. How will He change you? Can you trust a God Who destroyed a nation before your eyes? Would you want Him as your Friend?

See God free His people from Egypt’s bonds before a watching world. Trace His Finger in the lives He touches. The time: 2450 BC. The Place: Old Kingdom of Egypt where Pharaoh is god. His people worship him. Israel’s God arrives. He challenges Pharaoh. His power touches all people. They must change. Some do not concede. They suffer. Others yield. They find freedom.

Until My Name Is Known brings all to see the one true God. Read it to see Him. Today’s historians and archaeologists puzzle over the fall of the Old Kingdom of Egypt, But the world at that time heard of God. The world knew that He is the Lord. His Name was proclaimed in all the earth.
My thoughts: 

I used to think that I didn't enjoy reading about history, turns out I really do as long as I can relate to it somehow. Sonya uses historical and archaeological records to tell this story about the Hebrew's exodus from Egypt. She does this by allowing the reader to know the view points of several of the characters, thus making them feel as if they were a participant during Moses' time in back in 2450 BC.  I was captivated so much by the story that I could not put it down until I was finished reading the whole book! In my experience, I see things from a different perspective when I am not just being told about an era but when I can experience it for myself as I read. I am anxiously waiting to read the second book in this (Tell of My Kingdom's Glory)  series entitled "I Have Called You By Name", this book continues where Until My Name Is Known left off, the Israelite's are trying to get to the promised land. The glossary in the back is very helpful. If you enjoy reading about history, especially about old Egypt and if you want to know about God I suggest reading this enlightening story. Visit Sonya to learn more, purchase a copy on Amazon.
