"Help for those also searching in life" according to Meaghan. Very riveting tale wrapped in biblical history. It has been very helpful for people like myself who has been forced to look at her own Fait however, struggle to do it analytically as most can. Through fiction, it relates and brings a sense of calm and understanding to questions asked. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series (please put it on Kindle soon). Beautiful story! The author has done a great job in making this story in the Bible come to life in a whole new way! I can't wait to read the next one! Beautiful!. Captivating T.Mitchell Loved this book and new author. Finally a story about the regular people during bible times. Can't wait for book 2!!
