I am reviewing a copy of To Dwell among Cedars through Bethany aHouse Publishers and Netgalley:





Eight years prior, the Philistines stole and then surrendered the ark of the covenant back to the Israelites, Eliora left her Philistine homeland in order to follow the ark to the community of Kiryat Yearim.  It is there, the family she was adopted has guarded the ark at the mountain of seclusion. 





We meet Ronen too a Levite musician who is determined to hide away at the Ark to a more fitting resting place, watched over by priests who would restore the Holy of Holies.  He could never have imagine that the Philistine girl he rescued years ago would now be part of the very family he's tasked to deceive.





Ronen attempts to charm Eliora which leads them into unexpected directions, while betrayal leaves Eliora with strained family ties, and also has Ronen ask himself questions about his own loyalties.  Eliora and Ronen are caught up in the battle battle for the soul of Israel and its future under the leadership of Samuel, the last judge before the era of the kings begins.  





If you are looking for a good historical novel To Dwell Among the Cedars is definitely one I would recommend.




I give To Dwell Among the Cedars five out of five stars!



Happy Reading!
