Standing in the massive shadow of his famous father, young king Solomon wavers between fear and bravado, wisdom and folly. In the uncertain world of alliances and treachery, Solomon longs for peace and a love that is true and pure - a love that can be his cornerstone. A shepherdess in the northern city of Shunem, Arielah remembers the first time she laid eyes on Solomon in Jerusalem when she was just seven years old. Since then she has known that it was her destiny to become his bride.

A deeper understanding of the woman
Revisado: 03-17-25
This audiobook has given me a deeper understanding of the relationship between the Shulimite woman and Solomon.
The sacrifice she had to make to stay faithful to God and her husband was an eye opener.
It is a beautiful story filled with turmoil and a deep seated love for God. Greed, anger, jealousy and power placed in the wrong hands can bring distraction in so many ways and Ariela overcame every enemy with a grace that surpassed even Solomon's wisdom, I think. A compelling and heart warming story that touches the heart.
The author has really captured the essence of the relationship between man and woman, and the tension of Israel into a captivating story that I enjoyed.

Hosea has been charged by God with a difficult task-marry a prostitute in order to show God's people the nature and depth of his love for Israel. When Hosea goes to Israel to proclaim God's message, the prostitute God tells him to marry turns out to be his childhood friend Gomer. He finds her broken and abused, unwilling to trust Hosea or his God. But when marrying Hosea becomes her only choice, Gomer does what she's good at - she survives. Can Hosea's love for God and God's love for Israel heal Gomer's broken spirit?

A deeper understanding of a prophet's life
Revisado: 01-01-25
It is easy to read the books of the Bible like a storybook. A story of the Old Testament which many think isn't relevant for today. But once we realize the true meaning and what it took to be obedient to God's Word, we receive greater insight. The author's ability to capture it into a fictional story, adding meat to the bone, drives the message of this book home.
The book of Hosea is one of the smaller prophets with a profound message that he literally had to live. But what it meant for him and Gomer, and how they had to navigate this God ordained path were a different matter.
Love in the Broken Vessel is an exceptional story and worthy to be revisited time and again.
The narrator's telling was also enjoyable, and I would recommend this book to anyone who wants a deeper understanding of God's Sovereign ways.

Why we think it’s a great listen: An all-time Audible favorite that mixes historic fiction, adventure, and romance with one of the most fascinating literary devices: time travel. Outlander introduces an exhilarating world of heroism and breathtaking thrills as one woman is torn between past and present, passion and love. In 1945, former combat nurse Claire Randall returns from World War II and joins her husband for a second honeymoon. But their blissful reunion is shattered....

Excellent narrative
Revisado: 12-12-24
I watched the series first and then read book 1. The narration was excellently done and I could see Claire and Jamie came alive.
A well written story with all I have expected.

Suspenseful and witty
Revisado: 09-21-23
I bought the audible format of this book and enjoyed it immensely.
The narrator, Anne-Lise Kadri’s clever voice variations, helped to distinguish the unique characters, each with their own quirks and distinct mannerisms. I think she really captured the mood of the book perfectly. The ease of her narration really made this a likeable story.
Jim’s Revenge is a witty, cleverly planned plot with so many happenings you must keep up. With this book, details made the story and the dialogue’s realistic flow keep your attention. Through it, you really get to know the characters, some were likeable and some a real menace. Jim’s character was perfectly verbalized to one who can think on his feet. Despite a few disadvantages, he was the unwilling hero of this story, and the outcome was a perfect end.
Jim, the main character, is a pensioner that knows nothing about modern technology. Cell phones, WhatsApp and cameras, but common sense and a keen interest in his surroundings made him the natural hero.
To curb the boredom, he applied for a job across the street where he lived, at Slobend, Fleecem & Skinnem. Without adding some spoilers to the review, it is good to know, because it centered the plot neatly. The entire plot involves the employees of this company and Jim learned quickly.
The connection between him and Moira was very sweet, and like a father, he tried to help her. Especially when the bullies bully became adamant to hurt her. All I am willing to mention is that practical jokes have a way to catch up to you. Watch out who you play with. Jim might be old, but not senile or stupid. And having a team of young men with their own agendas helped.
The supporting characters were a mixture of sweet and sour, with a tangy twist which made it surprisingly witty. From drug barons to the damsel in distress, each character forms part of the suspense filled plot.

A fast-paced plot well narrated.
Revisado: 09-11-23
The recent addition of the Arcadia series was marked with these human behaviours, but only unity and one young man’s ability to listen could save the day.
Being in space on a ship would have been perfect for most people. But for Bee Bee and his fellow travelers, it was an entirely different thing.
Bee Bee (James) Kinfrank was a typical teenager that asked a lot of questions, to everyone’s chagrin. Left disfigured after a gruesome accident, the scare in his face didn’t make him a favourite. But this was also the reason for him to connect with people differently, which made him more acceptable, even a leader in his ‘tribe’.
As an oracle, he took to his role like it was second nature. It raised his status in the community. It did not make him very popular at first, but as he began to prove himself, People started to accept him and the value he brings to the community.
His father was a genuine piece of work which showed his true colors at the end. And Mary was his only support when things really became difficult, even though she was only his step mum.
To be stuck into deep space without knowing if you would be saved created all sorts of problems and soon to be sixteen-year-old Bee Bee had to grow up.
Not only were there enemies in the wormholes, but there were enemies inside. And he had to listen to the inner voice for guidance.
Lack of space, oxygen and food added to the tension as the depilated ship tried to stay on course.
This is the prequel to the Arcadia series and because I have read most of it, I struggled to understand where the new characters fit into the bigger plotline. But in the author’s typical writing style, it became clear, and it was worth the read. It gives the reader a better understanding of where it had all begun.
Chas Foony knew too much but was a good informant/friend to Bee Bee. Then there was the Whiston family—the bain in everyone’s life that caused havoc wherever he and his gang of misfits went. Charl Whyler was thrusted into a leadership position and way over his head. Mary became Bee Bee’s support and protector while he became her purpose for being in the ‘tribe’.
The fast-paced plot quickly takes you from one suspenseful scenario to another while the group tries to survive. First on the ship, then on the new planet, where more twists made for adventurous moments.
When an alien appeared on the ship, killing everyone on its path, it left Bee Bee a strange message. This was where the story escalated and became very interesting. With flashbacks from Mars and his mother’s death, you could sense the building tension.
Especially the secretive ‘Great Ones’ no one knew about except for Bee Bee and his dreams. A force that added a layer of tension to the entire plot.
“The Great Ones were sent to this planet for security reasons. This planet is far from the rest of our culture. Under our laws, execution is not possible. So sending them here seemed a sensible solution; they were banished to repent for their war crimes.”
These parasite creatures or beings controlled the new planet, and the survival game has stepped up a notched. Adding more drama, mystery, and suspense. Especially when Suzanne Flyfield stepped into the picture.
Except for a few grammar problems, this was a good read that every science fiction reader would enjoy. The story touches on primal behaviours and how humans would cope when put in a strange environment where the only aim is to survive. Not only as a human, but as a race.
The character of Bee Bee became the centre of their survival, which made this a good plotline. In the end, his own struggles and how he had to overcome them were woven into the many layers and a race was saved.
Since this was an audible book, I enjoyed the narrative. The different characters were beautifully portrayed through the voice of the narrator, making this story so endearing and easy to follow. A great edition to the enfolding series.

Escape the enemy's deadly trap! The Bait of Satan exposes one of the most deceptive snares Satan uses to get believers out of the will of God - offense. Most people who are ensnared by the bait of Satan don’t even realize it. Don’t be fooled! You will encounter offense, and it’s up to you how it will affect your relationship with God. Your response will determine your future. If offense is handled correctly, you will become stronger rather than bitter. John Bevere shows you how to stay free from offense and escape the victim mentality.
