Until My Name is Known by Sonya Contreras Book Review
September 03, 2015
The
Exodus of the Jews from Egypt is a love story between God and His people. God
woos His people to Himself as He prepares them to leave. Before leaving, God
must fight Pharaoh for possession of His people.
See
how God changes all people: some for the better, others not. None stay the
same. How will He change you? Can you trust a God Who destroyed a nation before
your eyes? Would you want Him as your Friend?
See
God free His people from Egypt’s bonds before a watching world. Trace His
Finger in the lives He touches. The time: 2450 BC. The Place: Old Kingdom of
Egypt where Pharaoh is god. His people worship him. Israel’s God arrives. He
challenges Pharaoh. His power touches all people. They must change. Some do not
concede. They suffer. Others yield. They find freedom.
Until
My Name Is Known
brings all to see the one true God. Read it to see Him. Today’s historians and
archaeologists puzzle over the fall of the Old Kingdom of Egypt, But the world
at that time heard of God. The world knew that He is the Lord. His Name was
proclaimed in all the earth.
My Thoughts:
I love historical Biblical Fiction. You have
to realize that when you read a Biblical Fiction story they have to add in some
unknown events and behind the scenes action we don’t see within God’s word. If
you are disturbed by that then I wouldn’t recommend you to read this type of
genre. There are some good and bad. I like to see how they follow the Biblical
account that we already know. That is one of my pet peeves in this genre.
Sonya Contreras does an excellent job keeping
the events in tack with the Word. She has done research of the era and has used
the Hebrew language correctly. The characters came alive and she really drawn
out the personality of the characters.
Overall,
I have enjoyed the story and it was a decent read. Some things I didn’t like
and felt that some things are a bit too farfetched in the Hebrew culture. I was
also disappointed not reading about Miriam in the story.
You will have to decide for yourself if you
like this story.
Litfuse Publicity Group has provided me with a
complimentary copy of this book. In no way was I asked to give a positive
review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
