The story of a young girl in a rugged land

Miriam is the story of a young girl in a rugged land which is under the oppressive domination of the Roman Empire. Her promise will change the world. Author Jack Jacobson has crafted a powerful story of iron will, fateful decision, deadly violence and retribution. Highly recommended reading, Miriam truly captivates and enthralls the readers total attention down to the very last page.

Great book!

This is wonderful book for young adults (although I have to admit to loving it too and I'm well past that stage!). Miriam comes to life as a young woman about to be wed. We get insight into the life of young people during Biblical times - the conflicts between peers, the political turmoil between the Romans and Jews. The plot is full of action; the characters full of pathos. A positive, good read for any age, but particularly young teens.

Excellent! Fast Read!

Very much enjoyed reading this book. Strongly recommend it as gift for teenage girls (or boys) ... but young adults will like it as well. Helps make the era Christ lived seem real today. Miriam is the story of Christ's mother when she was a teenager and you will Love her!
