Free Kindle MOSES AND HATSHEPSUT ebooks Download
Although the biblical narrative of Moses is widely known, the story of a pivotal woman in Moses’ life remains a mystery that has both confounded and intrigued for thousands of years. Burning questions abound: Who was Pharaoh Hatshepsut and how did she rise to such prominence, so much so that a magnificent funeral monument was erected in her honor? Why was it that such a concerted attempt was made to erase all memory of Hatshepsut from the annals of ancient history? How did it come to be that so many inscriptions, depictions, and statues of this captivating figure were so deliberately defaced? Is it possible that she could have been the teenaged daughter of Pharaoh who plucked Moses from the Nile, then raised him as her own? What impact did Hatshepsut have as Moses grew to manhood, married a beautiful black woman, then was forced to flee into exile after learning of his Hebrew roots? Faithfully weaving the biblical account with little known historical and archaeological details, the author of Abraham and Sarah explores the enduring enigma of Moses and Hatshepsut, rescuing this fascinating woman from the bulrushes of anonymity.

I thought this was an interesting concept and couldn't wait to start reading it, however it just didn't work for me. The time frame when both characters live has a difference of a few hundred years. Couldn't finish it.
Enjoyed the picture of Egypt, it's culture and politics of that day. It presents a different picture of the Israelites in captivity than I had imagined, but it was enjoyable reading. This is a lengthy book and sometimes read more like a history book, but for the most part the characters were interesting, intriguing and made for some good reading.
It is a good read, if I could pronounce the names. but that is my short comings. It is a slight departure from the biblical account but not severely so. I sorta felt sorry for Shepi at first but then what she did later I changed my mind. I wish that they had developed Moses character a bit more. but all in all I did like the book and would recommend it to anyone that wants a different slant on the events.
Book was sort of a boondoggle for me to keep up with all the characters with odd names. It more or less was a behind the scenes look at the story in the bible but was way too long to keep me interested. I think a shorter, more concise story would have been more believable. I plodded through to the end but can't say it was a great read.
The reason I read this book was to feel what he, Moses, might have been like at this time in his life and the changes he had to go through from he was raised in royalty to be an instument in the great exodus used by God. Was a well written story which I enjoyed.
Nice work, and a fresh twist on an old story. Wish she would have kept on going or maybe do a part two of this book. There are many books and interpretations of the story of Moses, but hers are interesting. I read all three of her Kindle available books, and I loved them all. Hope to see more of this author.
Mr. Williams makes Biblical characters come alive in an entertaining way. He makes the reader feel that the characters are not just Biblical stories but real people with real problems, victories and failures. I highly recommend this book!
Moses and Hatshepsut is a masterfully written combination of both history and ficton re those ancient years and times. It presents some intriguing ideas of events and "whys," leading to Moses' status and important role in history.There's such an interesting blend of fact and fiction - all working together so well and smoothly - that when all's said and done, we do have a much better understandingof the times. And it's all encased in a magical and exciting story which is both intruguing and fun to read, making it a book almost impossible to put down.
