So I am horribly late for mays #bookedintime - sorry!This was a compelling story of Rahab a prostitute who survived the fall@of Jericho and went on to marry Salome. Christian fiction is not something I have ever really read but I did enjoy the strong message of faith, forgiveness and more.

Cuilin ✅🎉 sounds like you enjoyed it!!! 4mo

Not for me. I liked the concept and the writing was strong, just felt a bit disjointed and messy. Good news, giving it a try earned me a bingo and one more off #MountTBR. #hailthebail #BookspinBingo

This deserved all of the accolades and honors and awards it won. Beautiful book. Great story, fabulous writing, characters with some depth.
A retelling/twist on the Old Testament story of Jacob. It is not his story but that of his only daughter,Dinah. Told from her point of view and it is her life. I love the way Diamant takes this briefly mentioned in the Bible character and creates this entire life for her.
4.5⭐️ badass females all around.

dabbe I loved this one as well. 💚💙💚 5mo

I really enjoyed this series of novellas about Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Bathsheba, and Mary. These women were strong of faith and character and stood fast in their convictions when many around them were filled with doubt (about everything not just their belief in God). Ruth's story was my favorite.

There was a lot of bible study at the end of each story that I skipped. But as a historical fiction read--Worthy! I learned a lot.

Cuilin That sounds really cool. ( I would‘ve skipped the Bible study too.) 🤫 5mo
dabbe Gotcha as a “pick“ on the spreadsheet! 🤩 5mo
TheBookgeekFrau @dabbe 💛💛💛 5mo
TheBookgeekFrau @Cuilin It was a lot better than I thought it would be! It leaned way more to historical fiction than religion (outside of the Bible study sections). I'm glad I read it, and if it weren't for #BookedInTime I probably would've overlooked it at the LFL where I found it 😊 5mo

#BookedInTime #BiblicalFiction

I gave it 5 ⭐️ Amazing storytelling, but the violence was difficult to read.
It is the story, told through Nathan the prophet, of King David from young child, to boy hero with a sling, to soldier, becoming king and ruler. This account sees him as both hero and an extremely flawed man.

Itchyfeetreader Oh I love this author .. I have a different book for this but suspect I won‘t get to it until next month. May has been all sorts of not what I planned ! 5mo
Cuilin @Itchyfeetreader Every year I‘m surprised at how busy the month of May is. 5mo
Aimeesue Great review! 5mo
julieclair I think I actually have a copy of this buried somewhere in my bookshelves. 5mo
Cuilin @julieclair it took me a little while to get into it. Glad I stuck with it. 5mo
Cuilin @Aimeesue thanks 😊 5mo
julieclair I dug around and found it on my shelf last night. Since I have only just started the book I had planned to read, I‘m going to switch to this one instead. Thanks for the heads up about sticking with it. 5mo
Cuilin @julieclair I feel I would do you a disservice to also not give some trigger warnings for violence and rape. But I think the telling of the tale is worth the read. 5mo
julieclair Thank you for the warning. I may skim over those scenes. 5mo
