#38: Harvest of Rubies

I recently signed up with bookbub.com, a site that daily sends e-book selections at either reduced prices or even free ones.  Harvest of Rubies, by Tessa Afshar, is one I downloaded (for free) when I noticed that it loosely based on the story of Nehemiah...a Kelly Minter study I participated in last summer.

In this Christian fiction, we meet Sarah, a scribe, who, at the encouragement of her cousin Nehemiah, uses this talent that results in her working for the Queen, who later arranges a marriage for her with Darius.

This novel perfectly portrays the grace of God who always is there, waiting, when one drifts away from Him. Through her hardships and challenges, she again leans on Him and renews her relationship with the Lord.

Tessa Afshar, a writer of Christian historical fiction, converted to Christianity in her twenties, after having been born in Iran and raised as a Muslim.  Her desire to increase women's awareness they they are loved...please read more here from her in a letter she has written to her readers.

If you are a fan of Christian historical fiction, then please consider reading this one.  AND...good news!...only after finishing and continuing to read the author's notes at the end did I learn that this is a series which continues with Harvest of God...just released last month!  Yay!
