The Heart of a King

The Loves of Solomon

By: Jill Eileen Smith

Narrated by: Rachel Botchan

King Solomon was wealthy and wise beyond measure. He could - and did - have anything he wanted, including many women from many lands. But for all his wisdom, did he or the women in his life ever find what they searched for all of their lives?

In this engrossing novel, you'll find yourself whisked away to ancient Israel, where you'll meet Solomon and four of the women he loved: Naamah the desert princess, Abishag the shepherdess, Siti, the daughter of a pharaoh, and Nicaula, the queen of Sheba. As you experience the world of Solomon through his eyes and the eyes of these women, you'll ask yourself the ultimate question: Did Solomon's wisdom ultimately benefit him and those he loved...or did it betray them?

Enjoyable

I enjoyed this book very much. And even though it is historical fiction, I find where Scripture leaves gaps, Jill gives possible explanations that are also reasonable.

Movie Please

Story was wonderful. I would’ve asked for a more robust ending but it was still great. I can’t wait to see the movie (hint hint).

Wow

I knew the story of Solomon, but I guess I never really pondered on it and thought deeply about it. Thank you for helping me see and understand better.

Wonderful

This is a new author for me, but I really enjoyed and got a lot out of this book. I like the way the story is weaved around the story from the Bible. It teaches without you realizing you learned something. The narrator was fantastic, just right. I highly recommend this book.

God's faithfulness

The story of Solomon as with so many others in God's Word, reminds me that God is forever faithful to His repentant & believing children. The story is based on biblical truth albeit a little drawn out at times, but I enjoyed it!
