I recently read a series of books that were SPECTACULAR, so I thought I would share them so that you could read them too if you choose. They are written by Liz Curtis Higgs and are a series of 3 books titiled the "Lowland of Scotland" series. The first book is titled Thorn in My Heart, the second is titled Fair Is the Rose, and the third is Whence Came a Prince. The books are an adaptation of the Biblical stories of Jacob and Esau, as well as Rachael and Leah. It was wonderful to beacle to have these stories I have heard many times in Sunday School come to life for me a such a fresh and impactful way. I rejoiced, cried, anguished with, and felt anger on behalf of the characters in the book that I was truly sad when our journey together ended at the end of the series. Higgs did such a wonderful job writing the novels that it increased my faith and challenged me to grow as a follower of Christ. I love it when a novel does that! There is an extension novel titled Grace in Thine Eyes that is wonderful as well since you get to spend a little more time with the characters you have come to love. I hope you get a chance some day to read these books, they really are wonderful.
Many blessings my friends!
