I loved this book and plan to write about it in future--but my review won't be as beautiful and in depth as this. <br /><br />From the beginning of the story when Dinah melts in Job's arms a little as he comforts her, I anticipated the time when she would become his second chance and hope. And I wasn't disappointed! <br /><br />I, too, was surprised at how the author made Job come alive for me. I had always admired him, but now see him as a true hero. BTW, I read in an interview that Mesu's now writing a novel about Song of Solomon! <br /><br />This is the next book I have my eye on. But since I'm not on a lot of reviewer's lists, I might miss it's debut . . . http://www.amazon.com/Reluctant-Queen-Love-Story-Esther/dp/1595548769Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06177523368064618185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1319032275293010502.post-16543662598459292792011-04-02T13:17:16.017-07:002011-04-02T13:17:16.017-07:00@Juju - Hope so! :)@Juju - Hope so! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11986319237275869540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1319032275293010502.post-83474264446008557742011-04-01T12:48:00.764-07:002011-04-01T12:48:00.764-07:00I bet I would love this one :)I bet I would love this one :)Tales of Whimsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10938494589922620170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1319032275293010502.post-39807795855274997032011-04-01T08:22:35.253-07:002011-04-01T08:22:35.253-07:00@Jen - Thanks, girl! :)

And of course the "best" Biblical fiction inspires actual Bible study. :) I hope you get a chance to read this one & that you enjoy it too! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11986319237275869540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1319032275293010502.post-69671582522911518092011-03-31T19:40:53.758-07:002011-03-31T19:40:53.758-07:00That is the most interesting book I've heard o...That is the most interesting book I've heard of in a while. I don't read much Biblical fiction, mainly because that genre's title is an oxymoron (Bible=truth, fiction=made up stuff, but this sounds really interesting. Thanks for the review!
