My review...
This is a fictional tale based on Isaiah’s life. Woven
throughout the story are biblical prophecies, in addition to a beautiful
romance.
Andrews has a way of writing that brings the characters to
life. She is a master storyteller of Biblical fiction, as her books seem to
bring the Bible to life. It is wonderful
to see God moving through the life of his prophet, Isaiah, who is realistically
flawed. Details are beautifully done in this heartfelt story. It is easy to see
God’s hand at work throughout the events taking place.
I enjoyed the fact that there is a list of characters at the
front of the book and that it notes which ones are fictional vs. those actually
in the Bible. It helps the reader piece together the facts throughout the story.
I also like the incorporation of Scripture verses at the beginning of each
chapter. If you’re a fan of Biblical fiction, this is one book you will want to
check out.
Disclaimer: I received a complimentary
copy of this book from Blogging for Books, but I wasn’t required to leave a
positive review.
