Rendition In Pursuance Of Books Love Amid The Ashes (Treasure of His Love)

Readers often think of Job sitting on the ash heap, his life in shambles. But how did he get there? What was Job's life like before tragedy struck? What did he think as his world came crashing down around him? And what was life like after God restored his wealth, health, and family? Through painstaking research and a writer's creative mind, Mesu Andrews weaves an emotional and stirring account of this well-known story told through the eyes of the women who loved him. Drawing together the account of Job with those of Esau's tribe and Jacob's daughter Dinah, Love Amid the Ashes breathes life, romance, and passion into the classic biblical story of suffering and steadfast faith.

I was thankful to receive a review copy of a story many people quote from the bible and look to when they are suffering. The story of Job is a powerful one. Meus Andrews states in the author notes how she came up for the premise of her book Love Amid the Ashes! She says, I hope you can see (through my extensive research) that biblical fiction is so much more than a fanciful imagining of how things might have been. It is truly my heart cry to know how biblical characters experienced the God I

What I liked:1. The book cover.2. The character of Job (he was the most believable and stable of all the characters).3. Message of God's love and forgiveness. The love that Job had for God even with the terrible misfortunes and his witness to those around him.4. The use of scripture at opening of every chapter.What I didn't like:1. Overuse of metaphors, similes, and description (facial expressions and body language) to the point that I wanted to scream. Ex. "Jacob raised his chin once again, as

I thoroughly enjoyed Andrew's take of Job's story from the Bible. It has been a while since I've read the book of Job, and this novel definitely sparked an interest in re-reading it again. I suppose I had never really and truly thought about the misfortunes that he had to go through and how easy and how justified he would feel to turn his back on the beliefs he had held dear.I also thought it was clever that Andrew's thought to connect the story of Jacob's daughter, Dinah, to Job's story. At the

This is a tough review for me to write because I really wanted to love this book. There were parts of the story that I really liked, and then there were parts that I found myself skimming through (closer to the end.) I really loved the beginning when Job's plan was for Dinah to marry his son. It seemed like he and Dinah were overly fond of each other, though. Not sure how I felt about that, so the verdict is still out on that one. I also loved the rehashing and remembering of Dinah's experience

I have a guilty secret: I sometimes enjoy fiction about Biblical characters, despite being a non-believer. I don't know why, but I have read some decent stories in this vein. This is definitely not one of them.First of all the characters are shallow and two dimensional. They are completely unconvincing caricatures. They felt flat and I couldn't find sympathy for any of them because of their lack of depth.Secondly I kept running into whitewashing and anti-blackness. I suppose there MIGHT have

Mesu Andrews in her new book, "Love Amid The Ashes" published by Revell gives us a fictional account of what might have happened with Job.Job, according to various surveys, is not one of the books in the Bible that people read frequently, if at all. Seems there is just too much suffering in this book for someone to read it to the end where the redemption is. Job is the richest man in the world and he serves God. The devil wants to destroy him and in one day takes away all Job's cattle, then

I stumbled upon this book quite by accident. my kids needed new library books and none of my holds were yet available so I was just wandering the stacks of my local library. I was a Biblical Theology major (extremely rare for a Catholic!) and took a class on Job in College. I LOVED THIS BOOK. The author did a beautiful job of taking the Biblical text and turning it in to a very readable and enjoyable novel. The Book of Job is an amazing story, but to have it fleshed out and more accessible was
