Nice work; I will undoubtedly purchase one for myself given that it is scriptural and includes a real-life story. Even though falling in love is a natural event and was considered a temptation in the Bible, the man maintained his FAITH despite everything he had lost and everything he had committed to. Congrats on BOTD.

Job's wife is usually overshadowed by the story of Job. In this book, we can take a glimpse on her story albeit retold in fiction. Christian readers will surely enjoy reading their love story. Congratulations on the BOTD.

While I do appreciate the unique premise, my lack of biblical knowledge might prevent me from fully experiencing the book's nuances. Thanks for the awesome review!

I love that the author employed his imagination in blending the popular biblical story of Job. Fiction at its best. A worthy BOTD, congratulations to the author.

I agree that the idea behind the book is quite unique. It sounds interesting to read more of a character who did not get enough exposure in the original story.

I read this book and agree with you that the author vividly recreates the scenes, granting the reader a first-hand impression of the challenges that Job went through. Thanks for the review.

Such an interesting way to blend fiction with biblical story. I have read a book like that on the story of Adam and Eve and I totally enjoyed it. I will like to check this book out later. Good one from the author. Congratulations on being the book of the day!

A story that talks about how Job and Ix’ises love each other starting from their childhood despite the different religions that separate them. The story also talks about how Ix'ises struggle to understand Job's faith and God's relationship with mankind. I like how the characters were well-developed. I'm glad you enjoyed reading the book. Nice review.

I am intrigued by the concept of this book because it feels, to me, like a fan fiction of the Bible. Since I haven't read in its entirety the Bible and do not know Job's story, I am not intrigued by Job's wife's story.
Congratulations to the author for BOTD!

This biblical story sounds interesting. A heart-warming Christian fiction story filled with a charming romance will definitely appeal to Christians. Congratulations on BOTD.

I'm not one for romances. It does sound like it could be interesting but I'll give this one a skip.
Thanks for a great review.

Not usually my kind of book, but I'm intrigued by your mention of vivid descriptions of culture and architecture. Anything with historical value intrigues me.

Indeed, some pains and losses are devastating and can lead to loss of faith. It must have been a hard time for Job's wife as her ten children perished. Well, this book assures readers of God's eternal faithfulness and mercy, and we can see how he restored the family of Job and the condition of things for the better.

What an interesting perspective about the wife of Job. The writer analyzed the story from another angle and that was great, even though what is written in the Bible remains very valid. Thanks for sharing.
