Once again Jill Smith has done a wonderful job on helping us to see what it would be like to live in that time period. Taking the known facts that are found in the Bible and using her imagination, we get a more complete picture. I found the novel to be interesting and enjoyed reading it in one setting. Excellent Story! I have read several books by author Jill Eileen Smith. Her Historical Biblical fiction is awesome. What I like about her books is that the Biblical and Historical facts match what the scriptures say. I am so looking forward to reading more books by this author. At first I was a little upset with how the author was portraying Bathsheba. I always wanted to put the blame totally on King David. After all, she had to do what the King wanted didn’t she? Well, perhaps not. I realize this is a fiction read and the story perhaps might have been a little or a lot off but why couldn’t it have happened this way? It sure made for a good read! For an unbeliever reading this book I would hope the person would be so curious about the life of King David and all his wives that they might just pick up a Bible and read what the scriptures say. Just maybe, this would give them a thirst to want to know more about God and His word. I highly recommend this book. I was certainly engrossed in it! This is book three in "The Wives of King David" series. They were all very good, but I must admit I liked book two the best, "Abigail". This story is of David and Bathsheba and goes from their earliest meeting and follows through to their son Solomon reigning. My heart was grieved over sin and its consequences, but was also overjoyed at God's love and forgiveness. We don't really know the behind the scenes conversation of David and Bathsheba, but this author did a good job of helping you to understand how it might have been between these two real people. I believe she stayed true to the historical facts and it makes me want to go back to the Bible and read about David and his struggles with taking many wives. Any book that makes you want to "search the scriptures" and learn more, I believe is a book worth reading. This story would use many of David's psalms from the Bible and insert them at times and struggles in his life where he might have written them, and it makes those psalms come more alive in their meaning. As a side note, I would like to thank the person who did the covers for each of these books. They did a great job! Again, the author has spun another riveting tale, adding biblical passages, bringing the most important book to mind; The Holy Bible. After reading Bathsheba's account with David, I came to like her and all she had to endure. Understanding why she might have adored King David, what he saw in her, all the hardships they endured, and how difficult it must have been to be one of many wives, one who was never accepted. This was an amazing read and a lot of the accounts are actual accounts from the Bible--1st and 2nd Samuel. What a great way to get one curious enough to pick up the Bible and read some amazing accounts. Loved this one! aucune critique | ajouter une critique
