phyllish
Written on Dec 1, 2017
The author did a great job of conveying the feeling of being in Jerusalem at that time. Told in the perspective of the daughter of one of the rulers of the city who was not content to sit back and remain in the traditional role of a single woman at that time, she showed courage to stand for what is right, to support her father and Nehemiah in the rebuilding of the wall, and to encourage the Jerusalemites to trust God and not be afraid in the times of trouble.
I enjoyed the way the author told the story of this historical period without making it sound like she was reciting facts. And yet she was able to relay the events told of in the Biblical account in great detail.
