Was he a poet? A prophet? A singer of songs? A peacemaker? A nationalist promoter of war? Or a madman with a unique gift of eloquence?

Isaiah. Was he merely a survivor of the violence and upheavals of an uncertain age? Or truly a messenger of comfort with beatific vision and heavenly inspiration? Even his name is enigmatic for the name most know him by, Isaiah, was a Hellenistic transformation of his true name: a name that revealed his source of hope. Yet, what drove this man of such great hope to walk the streets of his city for three years naked only in a loincloth as a single prophecy?

The words he spoke to the powerful, five different kings over his lifetime, and a small shrinking nation of a half million have been treasured for three millennium. The three major religions refer to his prophecies. Billions of people in their religious rites annually hear long passages of the words he was impelled to speak. Billions more hear allusions he first wrote either in excerpts from other writers over the centuries or popular culture's absorption of his unique descriptive metaphors without recognizing that those words and images first passed his lips. Read this historically fictionalized account of the life a man who was the first to reveal the truth of what a suffering servant must endure and why that should give comfort ... yes, give comfort to his readers.
