Shield of the Mighty

The King's Men, Book 2

By: Connilyn Cossette

Narrated by: Jonathan Todd Ross, Leah Horowitz

Captured by the Philistines as a young boy, Zevi has grown into a formidable warrior. As a captain in King Saul’s army, he is assigned a crucial mission: recruit soldiers, gather tribute for the royal coffers, and find talented artisans for the king’s court. But when he is sent to Maresha, the town he was forced to leave as a child, he is dismayed when the elder council rejects King Saul and his campaign, leaving the town vulnerable to retribution and the threat of outside enemies.

Yochana, a widow and skilled woman of business, is captivated by a stranger who enters her perfume shop. Upon discovering he is not only a soldier but a captain responsible for enlisting young men to die in battle, fury and pain from her past loss resurfaces. But when Zevi’s actions in Maresha entangle Yochana in his radical scheme, they’ll be forced to face present dangers while confronting scars of the past.

clean, interesting, suspenseful at times

Connilyn is my new favorite fiction author. I look forward to her next book.

The love for God

Loved the book! It kept me guessing how it would resolve! I recommend it for a fun and easy listen!

Bringing to life history for a time such as this

Connilyn, as usual brings history to life with Shield of The Mighty. I love every single one of her books and I’m a tough customer, being a biblical history buff myself. Connilyn is not only a great author but I believe she is anointed to bring these moments in biblical history to life in a way that I haven’t seen anyone else do.

Shield of The Mighty is unique among them all as it is perfect for such a time as we are in today. If you’re feeling broken, lost or overwhelmed with what is and has happened in our world lately, this is the book for you. Go on a journey full of family, love, war, adventure, heart ache and healing. Experience others who struggled similarly, and how they over came by leaning on YAHWEH, the G-d who never changes and trusting Him to be their shield.

Everything was captivating

This is a great historical fiction story, and romance. Excellent reading by the narrator’s. Highly recommend.

Great series!

I really like this series features Biblical characters but uses fiction characters to round out the story.
