The Reluctant General: A Novel from Ancient Jewish Writings

Herb Sennett retired from a thirty-five-year career as a college professor in 2016. He turned his full-time attention to writing novels, books about living life fully, and coaching people in living a happy and successful life. “When you shift to a positive attitude about yourself and others,” he has said on many occasions, “then you’ll conquer your fear of speaking and listening to others in any situation.”
Herb is a story-teller in the classic sense weaving life lessons out of stories from his own experiences and those from reading and research in ancient history. He turned also to writing novels about ancient Israel and ancient Greece. He has written crime mystery novels along with his work writing for two blogs he hosts.
Herb’s background includes teaching at several colleges, serving in combat in Vietnam, serving as a chaplain in the US Army Reserves, traveling overseas, and raising two terrific children. In 2003, Herb left full-time teaching to spend time as a part-time professor at Palm Beach State and Broward Colleges. At the same time he was a screenwriting teacher at the Palm Beach Film School as well as a novelist and author.
Herb has earned six university and seminary degrees and has spent 35 years as an educator of young men and women in the areas of the communication arts and theatrical arts. He has produced nine short motion pictures, produced/directed three dozen theatrical productions, and written three plays and five screen plays. And as if that were not enough, Herb retired after a twenty-eight-year career with the Army Reserves first as a combat infantry officer then as a chaplain. He holds the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.
