Description
King Solomon was wealthy and wise beyond measure. He could--and did--have anything he wanted, including many women from many lands. But for all his wisdom, did he or the women in his life ever find what they searched for all of their lives?
In this engrossing novel, you'll find yourself whisked away to ancient Israel, where you'll meet Solomon and four of the women he loved: Naamah the desert princess, Abishag the shepherdess, Siti the daughter of a pharaoh, and Nicaula the queen of Sheba. As you experience the world of Solomon through his eyes and the eyes of these women, you'll ask yourself the ultimate question: Did Solomon's wisdom ultimately benefit him and those he loved . . . or did it betray them?

The Heart Of A King
5By 1tohonorgodA beautifully written story of King Solomon and his wives. This is a fictional book but the way Jill Eileen Smith writes real accounts of the Bible into the story helps the reader understand more about King Solomon and his life. The book shows how his relationship with his wives started. I loved the particular part of him meeting Siti. She worshiped a different God and his questions were of great wisdom giving Siti much to ponder on about her God and Solomon’s God. The author shows us in her book how compromising can lead to sin and sin can have a snowball effect. The author does a fabulous job staying with the truth of the Bible but weaves a tale around it to give us a better understanding of what could have been going through Solomons mind and his reaction to things that happened around him. You will be so pulled in that your sure to turn back to your bible just to read about Solomon. I felt like praising God and closer to him just by reading this book. Was given a complimentary copy by Revel. All opinions are my own .
