In The Shadow Of Jezebel
Treasure Of His Love book 4
by Mesu Andrews
-From Goodreads- 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 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. ISBN-13: 9780800721701 He'll teach her hope, she'll give him her heart... In The Shadow Of Jezebel has been the Mesu Andrews book I was most curious about. Partly because I've really come to love her books and part slightly morbid anticipation. If you were raised in the church like I was or have read even a smidgen of your Bible, just the name Jezebel conjures up dark thoughts and a little dread. Seriously, the woman was BAD news for everyone around her and her daughter, Athaliah, was no improvement. You know things are just not going to go well for everyone involved... | This Book received a 4 Bark rating. |
Mesu Andrews's books are always hard-hitting stories that are just as applicable today as they are historically accurate. They will wrench the heart right out of your chest with their intensity and then place it right back in with their message of faith and hope. The narrator of this audiobook version of the story did an excellent job capturing that spirit and bringing it to life in a truly vivid way. Simply put, she was great!
Needless to say, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend In The Shadow Of Jezebel, the Treasures Of His Love series, author Mesu Andrews, and especially this audiobook...
