pickI love a book that turns all our carefully held assumptions upside. We all assume the woman at the well was immoral. What if she wasn‘t? This story explores that possibility through incredible hardships the woman might have faced in that culture as a widow and her amazing encounter with Jesus.
pickI‘m really not a reader of historical fiction as I find it‘s hard for my brain to read it as smoothly as contemporary as I need to get around everything I don‘t have a good grasp on, concepts/language/etc. This one was so good though! My heart broke for everything that Marah went through. I could only imagine how broken hearted/tired/frustrated/feeling abandoned she was when Jesus came along. Such a beautiful reminder and book!!
My January TBR. I don't think I'm going to make it, since I'm only two thirds of the way through my first book of the year. Having two little kids is really starting to slow down my reading pace! Not pictured: my book club book and one more library hold. Time to close myself in the closet with a flashlight and start reading! 😀
