Started out good - ending covered too many years at once and sometimes it was hard to tell how much time had passed. ( )

REBEKAH by Jill Eileen Smith is a wonderful inspirational historical romance set 1969 B.C. Book 2 in the “Wives of the Patriarchs”,but can be read as a stand alone. See,”Sari”. Rebekah, a beautiful woman full of hope and promise,finds heartbreak,betrayal and healing. Follow Rebekah on a journey with many twists and turns. After their twins are born the rift between her and Issac grows larger,misunderstandings and betrayal stronger, and her faith falters. Rebekah has faced much sadness,dangers,and is a fascinating woman to follow. Issac has many qualities,many faults,as we all do,but can he and Rebekah find love and fill the rift between them. If you enjoy fictional as well as biblical characters,historical fiction,and love you will enjoy “Rebekah”. Once again, Ms Smith has filled us with love,hope,faith,forgiveness and healing and gave us a glimpse into the live and times of “Rebekah”. A must read! Received for an honest review from the publisher.

What a fascinating read. We walk hand in hand with Rebekah, as a young woman, and then to a Grandmother.
Jill Eileen Smith really brings the Bible to life. We live in the tents with these people. We feel the deceit that happens, and seems to repeat in History.
Because we live in the New Testament Times, things are a lot different. I had a lot of respect for Isaac, and his vow not to take another wife, other than Rebekah. It seems that they had a lot of love for one another, even with the arranged marriage, but the fact of it was who arranged it!
This is a well know Story of The Bible, but it is so brought to life.
I would not envy their way of life, but the faith is so wonderful. Our God, the God of Abraham, truly blessed them.
A point to ponder as presented by the Author...Sarah would not have obeyed God as to the sacrifice?
I found this to be a very fast read, and really could not put it down.

I received this book through the Revell Blogging Program, and was not required to give a positive review. ( )
