Wow! I won this book via LibraryThing and I'm so glad that I did! Here's my review:
Wow. I'm still processing this book. It touched my heart on so many levels. The writing is extraordinary. I was literally transported to cities like Ephesus , Meron, and Sepphoris at the time period of AD 19-20. I could hear the lambs that were waiting for sacrifice and smell the roasting meat and baking bread!
The complete symbolism of Abba and God the Father blew me away. I have heard the story of the prodigal son since I was in Sunday school, but this book took it to new depths. The love and forgiveness that Abba poured out continuously on his sons brought tears to my eyes. "I give you everything, my possessions, this home, the groves, the vineyards and sheep. Everything is yours. But even more, all my heart is yours, I hold nothing back."
The characters are relatable in so many ways. Abba is so generous, loving, forgiving, sincere, compassionate, and giving. Hadassah is a woman of strength. Pavlos is an encouraging and caring man. The brothers- Judah and Seth. Each struggle with various issues. Their stubbornness and pride almost tear their family to pieces.
I recommend this book to everyone. The lessons learned by the brothers are relatable. The scriptures used throughout the entire book are inspiring and encouraging! I will definitely be reading it again to see what more I can glean!
I won this book from the author via LibraryThing. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Here's my review: This book was informative and interesting! I love it when authors take a piece of history and create an amazing fictional story. FDR is one of the presidents that I admire and this book showcased his leadership abilities and his dedication to the United States of America. Lizzie is an exceptional woman! She's an advocate, a confidant, and extremely loyal. She stayed with FDR literally until the end. We need more people in the world like Lizzie!
