In a kingdom controlled by cruel and manipulative women, one princess will discover the power of truth and love. Trained as a priestess in the temple of Baal, Princess Jehosheba strives to please the demanding Queen Athaliah, daughter of Jezebel. But when a mysterious letter from the dead prophet Elijah predicts doom for the royal household, Jehosheba realizes that the dark arts she practices reach far beyond the realm of earthly governments. Forced to marry Yahweh's high priest in order to further Athaliah and Jezebel's power plays, Jehosheba enters the unfamiliar world of Yahweh's Temple. Can her new husband show her the truth and love she craves? And can Jehosheba overcome her fear and save the family--and the nation--she loves? With deft skill, Mesu Andrews brings the Old Testament to life, revealing a fascinating story of the power of unconditional love.

| My Review: I read a lot of non fiction books about religion, so I knew a lot about Jezebel. However I did not expect this book to be about a relative of hers. I was pleasantly surprised. I loved that the women in this story were strong. I was really involved with the Queen and how she ruled her people, and I did not like her at all. I was actually happy when people defied her. Back to Jehosheba, I loved her character. What a great example! She did what she had to do for her loved ones. Being an aunt myself. I am so happy by the ending. I am giving this book a 5/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own. |
