Miriam's Song

By Jill Eileen Smith

Book Overview

She has prayed for deliverance from Egypt. But perhaps the greatest liberation happens within the heart.

From the very beginning, Miriam has lived in her younger brother's shadow. Thrust into the role of protective older sister before Moses was even born, she will grow up into a woman who not only keeps her family's secret but bears the burden of leading a new nation.

In her mind, she knows that she is serving both her God and her people. But in her heart, Miriam yearns for more. She longs to experience the privileges Moses has--to talk with God face-to-face. But when God finally does speak directly to her, the outcome is not at all what she expects.

With her impeccable research and keen eye for detail, bestselling author Jill Eileen Smith offers this epic novel to fill in the gaps in Miriam's story, following her from childhood to motherhood, obscurity to notoriety, and yearning to fulfillment as she learns that what God promises He provides--in His own perfect timing.

"Smith does an excellent job of bringing her characters to life . . . A memorable and noteworthy rendering of the atmosphere and figures of the scriptures."--Booklist starred review

Another excellent book from one of my most favorite authors!!

"Miriam's Song." I knew as soon as I got a notification that Jill had written another book, I had to get a copy! Jill Eileen Smith was one of the very first authors to get me hooked on biblical fiction books. She is one of a few authors I can trust to be completely clean and godly in their literary works. Miriam is sort of a secondary character in Moses' story, but was definitely used of God in a big way. She wasn't perfect, as none of are, but she learned from her mistakes and soon asked God for forgiveness. I loved how Jill gave Miriam a fictional husband and children too, as it really helped see her in a different and fresh light. This was another excellent book, and I can't wait to read her next one! I received this book free from Revell in exchange for an honest review, and was not required for it to be a positive one. The thoughts and opinions above are solely my own.
