A MOVING STORY OF FAITH AND LOVE

Thousands embraced the first book in Mark Halter's Canaan trilogy, Sarah. Many more were intrigued by his second, Zipporah, Wife of Moses and even more will undoubtedly be drawn to Lilah, the final book in this popular series. Historical fiction buffs relish the author's ability to bring to our eyes and minds the life of thousands of years ago.

The question Lilah asks of Yahweh is "Why must I cause pain when my brother and my lover have an equal place in my heart?"

Her lover is a Persian warrior, Antinoes, who was first a childhood friend and now the man who wants to marry her. However, as she was raised, Lilah doesn't believe she can marry anyone without the blessing of Ezra, her brother, and she knows that Ezra would not want her to marry anyone not of their faith.

Ezra believes that he is the one who is to lead his people back to the Promised Land, and Lilah also thinks this is true. So, she determines to help him accomplish this. Yet, when this is done there are extremists among the people who would want all non-Jewish banished.

The time has come for Lilah to make a choice.

Popular theater and television performer Ellen Reilly gives a sterling narration to this story of a woman torn.

I wish it was better

I read Sarah and Zipporah and absolutely fell in love with them. I was so excited to read the third book in the trilogy that I marked the date on my calendar the day it came out. I was, however, a bit dissapointed. If you read the other two you should still read this one, but it is definately no where near as wonderful as Sarah or Zipporah.
