Title: Hadassah Author: Tommy Tenney with Mark Andrew Olsen Publisher: Bethany House ISBN: 0-764-22737-8 Genre: Biblical F/iction
Hadassah is a stunning retelling of one of the best-loved accounts in the Bible, the story of Esther, that will have the reader entranced from beginning to end. Opening with a modern-day introduction, the story then spins back in time to the days when the Kingdom of Persia was at its greatest height. It was during these days that a young Jewish girl was destined to go forth and overcome her own adversity to save the lives of her people, in simple obedience to God without thought for her own life.
Readers will come away seeing relationships with God and family with a fresh perspective, be compelled to re-read Scripture in a new light, and have a greater sense of purpose and destiny in their own lives. Such an inspiring novel deserves to become a beloved classic. For those who loved Francine Rivers’ Redeeming Love and her Lineage of Grace series, and those who enjoy Gilbert Morris’ Lions of Judah series, this novel is a must read. | |
