I am reviewing a copy of Fire and Lions through WaterBrook & Multonomah and Netgalley:

In this historical novel we get to watch the Old Testament book of Daniel come to life.

A Hebrew Girl first tasted survival when she was able to escape death nearly seventy years ago when the Babylonians ransacked Jerusalem and took their finest as captives. She had believed she had perfected in the many years with the Magoi and the idol worshippers. She pretended with all the others in Nebuchadnezzar’s court. Belli feels she is safe now as Daniel’s wife and can now live out her days in Babylon without fear that is until the night Daniel is escorted to Belshazzar’s palace to interpret the mysterious handwriting found on a wall. The Persian Army invades, and Bellili’s tightly-wound secrets unfurl with the arrival of the conquering army.

What will the reign of Darius mean for Daniel, a man who prays to Yahweh alone?

Yahweh’s sovereign hand ultimately guides Jerusalem’s captives, and the frightened Hebrew girl is transformed into a confident woman, who realizes her need of the God who conquers both fire and lions.

I give Of Fire and Lions five out of five stars!

Happy Reading!
