Woman on front of book

As with the entire series. I truly loved each book. I loved the stories of the Heroic JEWISH women of the bible. Although they are not true to the bible and some characters are fictional, they do add light to those who know the bible. It makes reading the bible all the more enjoyable because you can view the bible and see what was different and have a mental picture of the characters. Maybe even after reading the bible see the character for their true selves, not what the author wanted to add to his or her story. But couldn't you have at least had a picture of a Jewish woman on the front of the books like the other I have read on women in the bible. The picture almost made me put the book back because I thought it couldn't be about what I was looking for. Please consider that, because I do love your books, but the picture on the front is deceptive.

This Book Was So Spiritual and Uplifting

I love this book and completely recommend it, this was my first time reading a book by this author or series. I bought the book last year through Double Day book club but just picked it up off my shelf to read on a road trip, I finished it in 2 1/2 days (only because I had meetings in between reading). I felt like I was swooped into the story and I became Deborah, this writer has serious talent and the book is highly suggested. Though I do not suggest you buy it for the $62 and change that it listed for as I write this review. If the price stays their I suggest you go to bn.com or doubleday.com to get a better price this book is good but not worth $62. Oh and my book is hard cover I paid $14 through doubleday.com.

Deborah's Story

I loved reading this book. It was fun and easy to read. I could not put it down I finished it in two days. If you are looking for a enjoyable book that is a fast read this is a great choice.

I liked this book - what more is there to say?

As both an author and reader of fiction, I was impressed with (Women of the Bible). Maybe it is because I have always enjoyed a book that could hold my attention and make me think at the same time. In a nutshell, the characters are believable and yet a little out of the ordinary and the story line interesting. Give this book a try. Tommy Taylor Author - The Second Virgin Birth

A Prophet with Honor

I read this book on a recommendation of a friend. Since I don't usually read Christian books, I was very surprised to find how wonderful this book is. First of all, it is very evident that Ann Burton has done a lot research in order to make her books authentic. She weaves her descriptions of the geography, food, family culture and religious beliefs, seamlessly into the plot of her story and the descriptions are never intrusive. On the contrary they add richness and depth to the narrative voice. Deborah's story is both facinating and compelling. Her growth as a seer and a prophet (during a time when women were not accepted in this role), as well as her reluctance to be one, makes a wonderful story. Deborah gains wisdom, courage, and love in this wonderful book. I highly recommend it and I plan to read all the other Ann Burton Women of the Bible series.
