Summary:
At eighty-six, Miriam has devoted her entire life to loving El Shaddai and serving His people as both midwife and messenger. Yet when her brother Moses returns to Egypt from exile, he brings a disruptive message. God has a new name--Yahweh--and has declared a radical deliverance for the Israelites.
Miriam and her beloved family face an impossible choice: cling to familiar bondage or embrace uncharted freedom at an unimaginable cost. Even if the Hebrews survive the plagues set to turn the Nile to blood and unleash a maelstrom of frogs and locusts, can they weather the resulting fury of Pharoah?
My Thoughts:
This book was kind of slow at first, and then picked up about one third of the way through.
Miriam is able to interpret dreams and talk to El Shaddai for some of the book, until He decides to talk through Moses, which kind of left Miriam broken inside.
This book was interesting and gave insight as to what may have happened through Miriam's eyes, although some of it dragged on and got kind of boring.
My Rating: 3.5 stars
