Isaiah's Daughter

A Novel of Prophets and Kings

De: Mesu Andrews

Narrado por: Kirby Heyborne, Nan McNamara

In this epic Biblical narrative, ideal for fans of The Bible miniseries, a young woman taken into the prophet Isaiah's household rises to capture the heart of the future king.

Isaiah adopts Ishma, giving her a new name - Zibah, delight of the Lord - thereby ensuring her royal pedigree. Ishma came to the prophet's home, devastated after watching her family destroyed and living as a captive. But as the years pass, Zibah's lively spirit wins Prince Hezekiah's favor, a boy determined to rebuild the kingdom his father has nearly destroyed. But loving this man will awake in her all the fears and pain of her past and she must turn to the only One who can give life, calm her fears, and deliver a nation.

"Andrews (The Pharaoh’s Daughter) offers her unique brand of in-depth Bible knowledge and storytelling flair...[she] is gifted at bringing the past to life...." (Publishers Weekly, starred review)

Reseñas de la Crítica

ECPA best seller

“Danger, dark schemes, and political intrigue wrestle against truth, valor, and determined obedience to Yahweh in this compelling tale of Hezekiah - the boy who would be king - and a beautiful but broken orphan girl taken in by Isaiah, the Lord’s prophet. While alternately angered and devastated by the faithlessness of Yahweh’s people in one chapter, in the next I was revitalized and filled with hope in the unfolding prophecies and mercy of our Sovereign God. Andrews has woven a love story, a beautifully written novel to savor, and a reminder that despite our fallen humanity, God’s best is yet to come.” (Cathy Gohlke, Christy Award-winning author of Until We Find Home)

“Mesu Andrews brings the prophet Isaiah to life with her usual brilliance at weaving deep historical threads together with the story of a little-known woman of the Bible. Isaiah’s Daughter is an excellent reminder that the truth of God’s words will be proven, even when His people cannot see through the veil of suffering to the ultimate victory.” (Connilyn Cossette, CBA best-selling author of the Out from Egypt series)

“Epic drama, adventure, love, treachery - Isaiah’s Daughter is all of that and more in this latest stellar novel by Mesu Andrews. The author brings to life Judah’s queen, the lovely Hephzibah, infusing each page with heart-stopping emotion and a pure romantic love for her friend and king, Hezekiah, that touched my soul. When I finished reading, I could only marvel at the novel’s depth and breadth and how Andrews portrayed this daughter of a prophet rising to the greatness of God’s promise, resilient in a time of disobedience. Keeping faith with Yahweh amid war and death and pestilence might be the only means to survive. A thoroughly catch-your-breath kind of experience in an impressive body of work, Isaiah’s Daughter is a story fans of biblical fiction will love!” (Kate Breslin, award-winning author of For Such a Time)

Love Mesu Andrew's books!

I love how Mesu Andrew books help bring the Bible to life in a way reader's today can relate to. The stories are embellished, but maintain biblical history. I find myself going back and re-reading the references with greater understanding of what life may have been like. Thank-you for your extensive research and dedication to maintaining biblical truths.

Great Experience

This was a great experience from the artist writing to the stellar delivery in performance.

I loved the story and Getting to know more of this great king

Mesu Andrews is a great author and I recommend all of her books. She delights in giving us an insight of what it was to have women company and a spousal relationship where she really wanted to live in her spouse/King’s chambers. Zeeba, the Lord’s delight as the names interpretation, and wife of Judah’s king constantly struggles between her husband and father’s faith in Yahweh. It brought me closer to who Isaiah, Yahweh’s prophet, could have communicated with the king and wisdom of what was said. I liked the end of the book, the questions, which made me reflect more of what and who I am: A loving child of Yahweh.

The scriptures came alive

I liked the constant devotion to Abba bringing into Focus our need for total surrender to our Father

Isaiah's daughter

Very good narration given to an enjoyable story. I enjoy when an author can bring the Bible to life, creating characters and story , giving spiritual insights but maintaining biblical integrity.

Provocative insights about prophecy

The narrator did an excellent job! The author fleshed out prophecies in a way that made them come alive in the context of the times in which they were written and provided insights about the nature of prophetic writings that cause one to think perhaps more deeply about their meanings and applications.

I

loved this book and am looking forward to reading or listening to more from this author.
