I received a free copy of this novel from Bethany House in exchange for my honest review. Alana thought she had lost everything she had and decided to exact revenge on the Hebrews that took the lives of her brothers and father. Instead she gets injured in the battle and forced to wed the Hebrew that rescued her to insure her safety. But when she begins to have unexpected feelings toward her captor and decides to stay, she uncovers the truth about the death of Tobiah's best friend and her life is forever changed. I loved how this story tied in with the Old Testament story where the Hebrews were at the end of the forty years of wandering in the desert and the collapse of the walls of Jericho. This story was so rich in history and truly depicts what Jesus constantly teaches us; God has a plan and purpose for everything that happens to us. We're just unable to see the big picture when events take an unexpected turn. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Cossette Consistently Brings the Old Testament to Life in an Engrossing, Fresh New Way Alanah, a Canaanite, is no stranger to fighting and survival. When her family is killed in battle with the Hebrews, she disguises herself and sneaks onto the battlefield to avenge her family. The one thing she never counted on was surviving. Tobiah, a Hebrew warrior, is shocked to find an unconscious, wounded woman among the Canaanite casualties. Compelled to bring her to a Hebrew healer back at their camp, he is soon confronted with a truth he can't ignore: the only way to protect this enemy is to marry her. Unused to being weak and vulnerable, Alanah submits to the marriage--for now. As she comes to know and respect Tobiah and his people, however, she begins to second-guess her plans of escape. But when her past has painfully unanticipated consequences, the tentative peace she's found with Tobiah, the Hebrews, and Yahweh is shaken to the core. Can Alanah's fierce heart and strength withstand the ensuing threats to her life and all she's come to love? Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

I loved getting to see more of Alanah's story, after meeting an older version of her and her friend Moriyah in the final Cities of Refuge story. I still have yet to read the first three, and I'm excited to read Moriyah's story next! I knew the was introduced in a way that suggested her and Alanah shared a past, but hadn't realized or considered her story starting here! That was a fun surprise, and I loved getting to see their relationship truly growing into the deep friendship we see glimpses of later on.
I also loved getting to know Tobiah. His passion and kindness toward Alanah are both beautiful and inspiring. I loved seeing the love he showed toward her reflecting the Biblical love we see the Father (YHVH) has toward us as His people, as His children. As he continues to encourage and care for Alanah, the hard jaded view she had of the Hebrews and honestly of life begins to shift. I loved seeing how this goes full circle, and even included Moriyah as Alanah learns to love and care for others in ways she'd never experiences among the Canaanites. ( )
