Bathsheba (The Wives of King David Book #3): A Novel
Ebook
Bathsheba is a woman who longs for love. With her devout husband
away fighting the king's wars for many months at a time, discontent
and loneliness dog her steps--and make it frighteningly easy to
succumb to King David's charm and attention. Though she immediately
regrets her involvement with the powerful king, the pieces are set
in motion that will destroy everything she holds dear. Can she find
forgiveness at the feet of the Almighty? Or has her sin separated
her from God--and David--forever?
With a historian's sharp eye for detail and a novelist's creative
spirit, Jill Eileen Smith brings to life the passionate and
emotional story of David's most famous--and infamous--wife. Smith
uses her gentle hand to draw out the humanity in her characters,
allowing readers to see themselves in the three-dimensional lives
and minds of people who are often viewed in starkly moralistic
terms. You will never read the story of David and Bathsheba in the
same way again.
