Publisher's summary

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.

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.

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???

Amazing

Totally loved this book. Couldn't wait to get back to it. Mesu Andrews has accomplished her goal - to encourage people back into the scriptures. While I've read all of the scriptures related to these characters, I had to go back and read again as it all makes more sense. I love how this book reintroduces the power of a true Godly relationship between husband and wife and how patience and forgiveness are paramount to strengthening our relationships with each other and our Father.

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!

Good book with lots of history

This book is full of Israel’s history, sometimes a little complicated but very well written fiction. The reader it’s very professional with believable voices and good expression.
