Rebekah

About

Can love heal the rift between two souls?

When her beloved father dies and she is left in the care of her conniving brother Laban, Rebekah knows her life has changed forever. Though she should be married by now, it’s clear that Laban is dragging his feet, waiting for a higher bride-price to line his pockets. But then Rebekah is given a chance to leave her home to marry Isaac, a cousin she has never even seen, and her hope for the future is restored. Little does she know what a wondrous and heart-wrenching journey she is beginning.

As Rebekah experiences the joy of young love and the bitterness of misunderstanding and betrayal, her resolve is tested. When the rift between Isaac and her grows so wide it is surely too great to be mended, can she trust the God of Isaac’s father Abraham to bridge the gap?

I am always careful when reading Biblical Fiction novels.  Some are not even close to what is in the Bible.  Jill Eileen Smith writes some of the best fiction novels based on Biblical people I have read.   In 

writing Rebekah, she keeps it close to the Biblical account she can

 while showing you some of the trials, feelings and circumstances  

Rebekah must have faced as a wife.   It is a story that I have enjoyed tremendously.
