Publisher's summary

In the land of Pharaoh, Tuya has always been a slave. As a little girl, she was sold as a playmate to a wealthy child who became her best friend. But as she approaches womanhood, beautiful Tuya is betrayed and cast out. Now she belongs to Potiphar, captain of Pharaoh's guard. Yet her heart is owned by handsome Joseph, sold into slavery by his own brothers. Proud, arrogant Joseph dreams of freedom, of his own household, of Tuya as his queen. Shared dreams will sustain Joseph and Tuya through the deepest of sorrows and most unbearable of separations . . . but is it God's will to make the dream their destiny?

Loved this story!!

I can’t wait for the next book in this series. Storyline kept my interest. Narrator was awesome. Highly recommend this book.

Very Intense

I found this story to be very intense and historically plausible in its timing. The story of the love between Tuya and Yosef, along with Segura's attempts to fulfil prophecy set a perfect stage for the Biblical events. It was beautifully narrated as well. So why did I give the story 4 stars instead of 5...Jer10:2 learn not the way of the heathen. There were a cringe-inducing number of Egyptian chants, prayers and poetry recorded in immense and unnecessary details, exact verbiage too. Often, as people read, they learn occultic ways and thought patterns from books. The poem read in Segura's bedroom was perhaps the "only" time such a display could be deemed necessary and that only because of Segura's secondary purpose. Were Hollywood to make a movie of this book, special emphasis would be made out of those parts alone. Deut12 speaks vehemently that we should not inquire about how those that HE punished..and Egypt is severely punished during the book of Exodus over these very practices... because HE doesn't want us utilizing ANY PART of these abominable ways. Lev18:25, Ezek36:17, Rom8:22 and even Rev3:16 says these "ways" caused the Land itself to become sooo defiled it "vomits out the inhabitants". Rev9:21 speaks to the fact that people will not repent of their sorceries. Angela Hunt, I know you seek to influence others hearts to seek out YAHUAH, but you can describe situations WITHOUT using the ACTUAL VERBIAGE OF INCANTATIONS!! YAHUAH doesn't tell us Not to do something over and over again without reason. I love your writing, used to sell lots of your books when I worked bookstores, so personally introduced lots of readers to your work. Please be careful! When I was much younger books with this kind of detail lead me down a pathway that ABBA had to help me step back away from.

Enlightening

Enlightening! This book has heightened my love of scripture. I appreciate the author’s careful research combined with sanctified imagination.

Wonderful story

I loved this story. While it is historical fiction, it made the true accounts and characters of the Bible come to life and from here on out emphasized in my remembrance of that portion of the Bible. I did have a big problem with the narrator from the beginning of this book. Her voices of the characters were pretty good. It was her third person narration of the story that grated on my nerves to the point I wondered if I could finish listening. However, a little more than half way through the book, she either got better, or I became used to it. Whatever the reason, I am so glad I did finish it. I can’t wait to listen to the next book in the series.

Amazing!

This book was a nonstop listen! I know the story in the book of genesis, and when you mix in the Egyptian culture and history, the story comes alive in the details! This author blends history and fiction that is inspiring to learn more about these ancient cultures!

The narration and the storyline were excellent 

There’s a few times, where I felt the pains of defeat along with the protagonist, but I was happy with the outcome in the end .

I was so immersed in the story I couldn’t sleep until done.

I found the book wonderfully rich in detail. The story came across as very plausible, and I really felt for each of the characters. I read one review that mentioned how there were realistic Egyptian incantations and that we should guard our hearts against such things. I agree with most of what she said. However, I don’t see that reading a Christian fiction book will drive someone to practice occultism. I enjoyed the book and I thought the narration was excellent.

Great story

The author and narrator do a wonderful job keeping the audience engaged. I highly recommend this book. I can’t wait to read the sequel

Excellent version but reader was too slow

Nothing a little adjustment to the listening speed wont help. I almost stopped listening after the first couple chapters because the reader was just too slow for me. But then I remembered you can change the speed and that worked great! I set it at 1.15x and was happier. I really didn't care for the way she pronounced the names of the Hebrew characters either. Maybe that is the way they were written, I don't know? But I had a really difficult time sometimes figure out who was who because of the non-english way she pronounced the name. Other than that, a great book! I look forward to the next 2 in the series.

Outstanding Audiobook!!!

This audiobook is outstanding in every single way!!! The storyline is spot on! The author, along with one of the best narrators ever, presents that storyline in a way that the listener is compelled to finish without to the very end! Looking forward to the next book in the series!!!
