The Pharisee's Wife

De: Janette Oke

Narrado por: Lisa Negrón

From the beloved author of Love Comes Softly comes an inspiring work of historical fiction about a young Jewish woman, plucked from obscurity and thrust on a perilous journey, only to witness the world’s most life-changing story.

Like most young women in ancient Israel, Mary has little control over her own destiny. When Enos, a rising Pharisee, sees her one day in the market―the most beautiful woman he has ever laid eyes on―and determines to make her his wife, Mary’s fate is quickly sealed. His exorbitant bride price is the only hope her parents have of escaping abject poverty, but surely the fact that such a devout and esteemed man has chosen a girl of her station must be a sign of blessing.

When Mary enters training to become the proper Pharisee’s wife, it is as though she has been abandoned in a foreign land, where one misstep could cost her greatly. That feeling only deepens when she discovers Enos is all she feared he might be, treating her merely as a prize he has won―and worse. Then rumors of a miracle-working, traveling Prophet change everything, and Mary and Enos are swept up in events that will challenge all they hold dear and forever alter both their futures.

The Pharisee’s Wife

The entire story was intriguing and well researched. It gave me an insight into a Pharisee. Most of these men were quite shallow and not Christ like at all. This was well portrayed in this book. I loved Mary, the Pharisee’s wife. In my opinion this is the best book Mrs. Oke has written and I do enjoy her books. Fascinating to me this was written in her late 80’s. If you love Biblical fiction, this is a must read.

The narrator gave an outstanding performance.

Encouraging and uplifting

I enjoyed this story of salvation and how the fictional characters were woven into historical facts.

Amazing Story!

Janette Oke has outdone herself once again! This is a fantastic book to prepare your heart for Easter. It brings a blessing to believers and answers to those who have not believed. Janette always points the reader back to the truth of Scripture. While many characters are fictional, there are characters who are real people, especially Jesus Christ. This book is filled with truth and characters who choose to believe the truth and others who choose not to believe the truth. I highly recommend this book to anyone and everyone!

It was just ok

I really wanted to like it.
Part of it was the way it was narrated.
Part of it is that it felt like it needed more to the depth of the story.

Good Story

The story was very good, but unfortunately the narration was very monotonous. I almost couldn’t finish because of the narration.
