In the Shadow of Jezebel

Treasures of His Love, Book 4

By: Mesu Andrews

Narrated by: Lisa Larsen

Princess Jehosheba wants nothing more than to please the harsh and demanding Queen Athaliah, daughter of the notorious Queen Jezebel. Her work as a priestess in the temple of Baal seems to do the trick. But when a mysterious letter from the dead prophet Elijah predicts doom for the royal household, Jehosheba realizes that the dark arts she practices reach beyond the realm of earthly governments. To further Athaliah and Jezebel's strategies, she is forced to marry Yahweh's high priest and enters the unfamiliar world of Yahweh's temple. Can her new husband show her the truth and love she craves? And can Jehosheba overcome her fear and save the family - and the nation - she loves?

With deft skill, Mesu Andrews brings Old Testament passages to life, revealing a fascinating story of the power of unconditional love.

Liked this, however...

I have listened to most of Mesu Andrews’ audiobooks , and of course the characters are always very intriguing and is what draws me into the story. I wanted to hear more about Jezebel and her schemes and General Jesu and his wildness over cleaning up the country. I know it’s just a story in between lines of the Bible, it would have been more listening friendly to hear about them and less about war. And I must have missed the part about Anna(the priests 1st wife) what in the world happened to her???

Gods His-story brought to life

So wonderful to have a treasured Bible story brought to life. This was one of my favourite stories growing up.

awesome

this gives a great understanding of how Jezebel abuses people and of what it would as like in the times she lived .

Could not stop listening! OT comes to life!

Unbelievable narration gives each character a distinct voice! OT is the 552555555555555555555522²2¹2¹²²²122²and getting a final 21²2²and ²2¹1 ²is ²¹175.00 to and 7th all every t1h111e and so one 2²¹²²2²222222211¹¹1things a a have and and 11th 2I wanted wantbefore about probably very ed ²²and 2222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222²2222222222222222 e 2nd 223222222223222222²¾222233222²²2²²²2222²2²²²2²2

Outstanding battle between good and evil.

Wowzers!Meisu Andrews does an incredible job with taking the history from the Bible and bring it it to life. I recently completed a study on Jezebel, Athaliah and Sheba. She did a remarkable job of bringing the characters to life. You could sense the struggles, fears and victories throughout the book. I would highly recommend this book, especially if you want to dig in and study the characters in the Bible.

worth your time!

Every believer should read this to understand the history of Israel and God's undying love for all of us.

Wonderfully written and narrated!

This story brought color and detail to this biblical story. One of my favorite audible books. The narration was amazing.

Great historical fiction

Loved the way this story incorporated scripture with it. Was a great book bringing more insight on the understanding of the kings of Israel and the prophets

Best book I’ve read by Mesu Andrews!

IMHO this is the best of all the many books I’ve read by Mesu Andrews! I believe to understand my Bible, it’s so helpful to understand the era & it’s people from the time when it was written. In The Shadow of Jezebel really helps with that idea. In this book, I particularly appreciated that it was not a victimized female in inexplicable angst from cover to cover. This well written book shows us a woman that was wooed and healed by Yahweh & her husband, Jehoiada. She also used her brain so that her actions & reactions made sense. It was encouraging & so easy to be immersed into this story. I could watch the imagery in my minds eye so clearly. WELL DONE MS ANDREWS I’m Looking forward to another!

beautiful love

The true love shown by Yahweh is beautiful and astounding! His truth and words shown true in this old testament of kings who reigned.
