When Israel, My Beloved first released, it immediately captured the #1 spot on the CBA hardcover fiction bestseller list—and stayed on the list for months. Kay Arthur's dramatic, epic-style novel is now available in softcover with a beautiful new cover and a historical timeline that corresponds with the fascinating retelling of Israel's story. History comes alive as Kay begins with the tragic mistakes that led to Israel's captivity by Babylon and takes readers all the way to the modern-day miracles of triumph against all odds. A heartwarming novel filled with adventure and suspense, Israel, My Beloved is an incredible testimony of God's great love and faithfulness even in Israel's darkest hour.

I've known about the Old Testament almost my whole life. I've even read a lot of it. But NOTHING helped me understand the story of God's people like Israel, My Beloved. Not only does it give you a vivid picture of history according to the Jews, but it also helps you see God's heart for his people. Now when I read books in the Bible, I feel like I know the authors! This book inserts you into history and makes you feel like you've lived it personally. I met a Jewish store owner in Jerusalem who helped Kay Arther with Jewish perspective when she was writing the book. He himself said it turned out to be a brilliant book. Keep in mind that the majority of this book IS from a B.C. Jewish perspective, so the minimal mention of Jesus is to be expected. She didn't want to write it from a Christian point of view. It wasn't meant to be a witnessing tool, but a glimps into an epic story that ultimately shaped the world we live in today.

prophecy this book will thrill you!It took just a bit to realize who Sarah was-what a great way to present this history.I couldn't put it down for three days-it is brilliantly written & so full of Jewish tradition I thought the writer was Jewish. You will feel the pain of God's people throughout time - you will see his hand working & his enduring love!Drama, murder, mystery, romance, war-such characters(Just like the Bible)! Share this book with your friends-what a blessing it will be!I read many books - this is one of my top 10.

I saw Kay Arthur on tv doing a series on the covenant and really enjoyed the way she explained things. She mentioned that she wrote a book called Israel, My Beloved, so I was curious.I'm glad I brought the book.The story covers a time span from Jeremiah the prophet to the not too distant future. It deals with marriage, faithfulness and infidility, slavery, idolatry, suffering, hope.At times it was quite hard to read - I never knew the history of Jewish people (outside of the bible and excluding World War II). It was if nothing else, a brilliant look into the history of a nation.But it was more than that. Kay Arthur has a wonderful way with words, taking quite complex and difficult subject matters (for example the rape of women at the hands of an invading force), and doesn't make it sordid or weak. I really enjoyed reading this book and felt a little sad when I finished the last page.This is a wonderful book. You won't regret buying it!

Israel....My Beloved....How that phrase will send chills through your mind by the time you have finished this book. Kay Arthur is one of the best writers around. This book takes you back in time to witness one of the greatest love stories ever told. It's so easy to get sucked into this store. At times, I felt like I was walking among the nation. To the entire world, this woman was just a Jew..........You will weep, cheer and think...really think! May you take each page of this book and cherish it like fine fruit. This is a great gift for any true romantic at heart. If you take the time to make it though the 444 pages, you will receive such a blessing. So, as Kay says....Hangth Thou In There, O Baby! It is a trip worth taking!

whilst reading this book, i have people popping into my mind, who i would love to give this book to.i am jewish, i studied and accepted yeshua is messiah.kay arthur has a talent, i feel like jeremiah and daniel have been brought alive to me, i feel the application of scriptures in conversations in this book jump off the page and to the heart. the unfolding of events in jewish history , i feel i am sharing with the characters as i read.i cried as i just had not thought deep enough how devastating it was during the times where the romans snatched babies from their mothers.kay arthur has a gift of communicating biblical and historical events, and she has found a way to write for jewish readers, so they can read about their history and heritage , and also read about Yeshua, factually.the book is tactfully written, and i feel purposely written not as a witnessing tool, that is not even neccessary .any one who wants to learn the whole history of israel in a very readable way would love this book, and considering it is a novel, kay arthur has covered so many historical events that it is also a history lesson.you will feel like you are walking the land and walking the life of israel and the plight of the jewish people.miriam fauth.

I am Jewish, yet I am not very religious. Lately I have been feeling the need to become closer to my religion... keep in mind, I am only 15. I am only half way through "Israel, My Beloved" and I have a greater understanding and sympathy for my heritage. While it is known that we are "the chosen people", sometimes I wonder if we are "the chosen people" to be persecuted all throughout time. I don't think many people understand what we, as a religion, have had to go through. I think this book was written incredibly well, and it portrays the history of Judaism in an awesome way. I wish more people would be open-minded and learn about different religions, rather than persecuting them. I already have a list of people I will be recommending this outstanding book to. Everyone should read "Israel, My Beloved"- it is truely a one of a kind book. A must read!
