"The Prophetess: Deborah's Story" (Daughters of the Promised Land Book 2 ) by Jill Eileen Smith

Book Info: Outspoken and fearless, Deborah has faith in God but struggles to see the potential her own life holds. As an Israelite woman, she'll marry, have a family, and seek to teach her children about Adonai--and those tasks seem to be more than enough to occupy her time. But God has another plan for her. Israel has been under the near constant terror of Canaan's armies for twenty years, and now God has called Deborah to deliver her people from this oppression. Will her family understand? Will her people even believe God's calling on her life? And can the menace of Canaan be stopped?

With her trademark impeccable research and her imaginative storytelling, Jill Eileen Smith brings to life the story of Israel's most powerful woman in a novel that is both intriguing and inspiring.

My Review:"The Prophetess: Deborah's Story" (Daughters of the Promised Land Book 2 ) by Jill Eileen Smith is a perfect example of why I read Biblical Christian. This book and every one of them ( I have all of her books but 2 and they are the Ebook Shorts "The Loves of King Solomon" and they are on my to be read list") have made the people of the Bible more real to me. 

"The Prophetess: Deborah's Story" (Daughters of the Promised Land Book 2 ) by Jill Eileen Smith is about Deborah ( the prophetess and judge in Judges 4 and 5 of the Bible. Through little is told in the Bible about Deborah, Jill Eileen Smith has written a true page turning novel beginning with when Deborah was a teenager and before she was a prophetess. 

This story is true to the Biblical account but of course since it is fictional as well,it has other characters that isn't in the true account. I really appreciate that the author has made Deborah a woman that has fears and she has doubts like we all do.  In this novel Deborah is a wife and mother as well as  woman of God. 

This novel doesn't read like the other novels written by Jill Eileen Smith but I think that is because of the subject matter, war and terrorism, a subject that isn't my cup of tea, but I am glad I read the book and I can honestly say Jill Eileen Smith has done it again! 

I am anxiously awaiting the next book by Jill Eileen Smith. I am giving "The Prophetess: Deborah's Story" (Daughters of the Promised Land Book 2 ) by Jill Eileen Smith five stars!

I was given a copy of "The Prophetess: Deborah's Story" (Daughters of the Promised Land Book 2 ) by the author for an honest review. I was not required to give an favorable one and these opinions are mine own.
