Cush, Mizraim, Phut and Canaan - all built long-lived kingdoms with their bare hands. Stone temples, massive pyramids, and palaces galore...but as the centuries unfolded, spiritual idolatry became an integral part of their cultures. Then, during the eighth century BC, God's servant Isaiah uttered a prophecy: the Hamites' idolatry would soon lead to chastisement.
Excerpt
Tirhakah - king of Cush (Nubia) and Mizraim (Egypt), inherited the sibling Hamitic kingdoms from his fathers. When it was his turn to face Assyria, the ancient world's greatest military force, Tirhakah found himself in danger of losing it all. His fight, though valiant, would be to no avail. The word of the Lord had indeed gone forth against the lands of Ham.
Now, in modern times, Tirone Pulliam-Jones wanted nothing more than to relax and spend time with his girlfriend, Paulette during his spring break. But a student's question, posed right before the final bell leading up to break, forced the history teacher to research and write about the fall of Cush and Mizraim. A cultural demise his distant ancestors fought to thwart.

When Nefertkumkhure Tirhakah inherits the kingdoms of Cush and Mizraim, he becomes heir to crumbling empires long past their mighty days of power and glory. The primary reason for their demise? The idolatrous ways of their forbears, which subsequently became their cultural and political norm. As a result of their spiritual transgressions, the Hamites doomed themselves – and, more importantly, their descendants – to the danger of extinction at the hands of the formidable Assyrian army. Ultimately confronted with a military might the world had never before known, the lands of Ham soon experienced the very real consequences of God’s vengeance.
Equally striking and engaging, And The Sons Of Ham is a quite enlightening tale of historical fiction. In her brief, yet powerful narrative, author Marcella Denise Spencer brings ancient biblical scripture and lore to vivid life through fully fleshed, three-dimensional characters and dramatic, well crafted storylines. Furthermore, Spencer supports her fictionalized account with sound historical detail, providing the reader with an eye-opening glimpse into the cultural and political folkways and mores of a civilization that – though long since vanished from the face of the earth – nonetheless left an indelible mark on the subsequent growth and development of contemporary culture.
For anyone seeking to learn more about the compelling legends of ancient biblical kingdoms, And The Sons Of Ham is an excellent source of solid, historical edification. A thoroughly enjoyable read.
