Wonderfully woven blend of scriptural history and excellent fiction. The author brought the characters alive on each page and he constantly leads the reader toward the Savior. I can't wait to start the next in the series.
This is the story of Jacob and Esau who were so different from each other, and Jacob wanted the birthright while Esau did not care much for it. But Esau was disappointed and angry that Jacob got the blessing from his father Isaac instead of him. So Jacob had to flee for his life and settled in a town with Laban who had two daughters Rachel and Leah, very interesting story.
I enjoy this series. This author knows history but also knows the Bible. This book is about Jacob and his family. Remembering that this is fiction you need to read the scriptures about the storyline. The author has used a mediallion as a thread to tie the stories together.
It took me months to reach the middle of the book. I just didn't want to pick it up. Maybe I've heard the story too often or maybe it just didn't catch/keep my attention. However, once the story shifted to Dinah, I finished it the same day. I really enjoyed reading about Dinah and what 'could have happened'. It was beautiful love story with a sweet ending.
This author has a way of bringing Biblical characters and events to life in an exciting way. Once I read the first in the Lions of Judah series, I had to read each of them - and they all were true to scripture, with exciting events and characters that might have actually occurred in the real lives of the people of whom he wrote. An extremely enjoyable reading experience for anyone who loves to read the Bible.
This entire series repeatedly brought me back to Holy Scripture. Mr. Morris is an obvious biblical scholar and masterful writer. His attention to detail and knowledge of the social and economic temper of the times is outstanding. I hope Mr. Morris intends on writing many more Biblical historical fiction novels.
This is a wonderful continuation of the lineage and legacy of Noah, Abraham, Isaac and now Jacob (Isaac). To see the lives of these men fleshed out gives new meaning to the lives they lived to know and honor the one true God. Their struggles were real, their faith stretched and their hope for the future blossomed in light of their walk with God.
Book #3 was excellent! The sharp pictures painted by Gilbert Morris" words made me feel like the scenes were happening right in front of me. I enjoyed the parallel stories of Jacob"s patience and His obedience to God along with the love story of Dinah and Demetrius. I would recommend this book and the entire series to everyone.
