"Andrews is able to project feelings and emotion into little known Biblical characters and bring them to life. "Andrews possesses an extraordinary gift for breathing fresh life into Old Testament texts, bringing the history and passion of the lives chronicled within the pages of scripture to life with a fresh intensity and relevancy." - Ruth Anderson (April 2, 2014) I came away from this book with a greater appreciation of what God's faithful had to deal with in one of the most difficult times of the history of Israel and Judah." - Toni M. Her ability to explain the circumstances of the period and to make it possible to connect to the characters blows me away. "The depth of historical and cultural detail that is included is astounding. What better tools to have in my library to help me study the Bible than one of Mesu Andrews’ books!" - Amazon Customer (Verified Purchase, March 4, 2020) I finished the book wanting to go back and read the Biblical account for myself. And the author’s detailed research brought this time period in Israel’s history to life.
The complex character of Ahaziah was well done. "I loved the development of so many likable characters: Jehoiada, Sheba, Zabad, Zibiah, and Nathanael.
"This is what Biblical historical fiction SHOULD be - a story that makes you dig deeper into the scriptures and mine out the truths that were previously missed." - Erin L (Verified Purchase, March 6, 2019)
