There are several authors that I trust and respect in the biblical fiction genre and Andrews is one of them! What did I especially enjoy about Ahinoam? Each chapter begins with Bible scripture, there's more scripture scattered throughout the book, and the story is told through both David's and Ahinoam's viewpoints. True historical and biblical facts are deftly woven with fiction, and I found myself checking my Bible often as I continued to read! Brave is a fascinating story that's made me want to learn more about King David's Brides. I just wonder if any of them will be as brave or appealing as Ahinoam? If you enjoy fiction that's engaging, enlightening, and entertaining, grab a copy of Brave! I highly recommend this book to all who enjoy historical biblical fiction. I received a complimentary copy from the publisher. There was no obligation for a positive review.

This book really brought David’s flight from Saul’s presence and sojourn in the wilderness to life for me. As my Bible reading has been in the books of Samuel during the time of reading this, I have been able to follow along and feel really immersed in all of the happenings, as well as verify the biblical accuracy adhered to in this novel. Ahinoam, as well as many of the other characters in the book, had very challenging lives and certainly did have to maintain a high level of bravery and fortitude to survive and follow where God led, as the title implies. I really appreciated the Author’s Note at the end, explaining some of the creative choices she made and where several ideas originated, so definitely be sure to check that portion out once you’ve finished reading! I received this book from the publisher through a review program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
