I never would have dreamed of a book from Job's wife's perspective. I would love to read about the author's take on Ix’ises life.
Thank you for a well-written and heartfelt review!

Yes, she certainly had. Otherwise the story could not feel so real. Thank you for your appreciation!

Even with the little mishap I mentioned, this book was very close to perfection and I enjoyed every bit of it. Thanks for reading and commenting!

Wow, I've never been one for religious books but this one really interests me. Adding fiction to a bible story is such a brilliant idea. I also admired your writing style, it really draws the reader in.

Thanks for your amazing review giving correct insight about it. From your review I could see that this book tells much about Job’s wife, who is an extraordinary woman.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

Oh, thank you 😊 My interpretation is that readers could fully enjoy this book even if they did not know about the religious background of the story!

She must have been an extraordinary woman, otherwise she would not have survived everything she lived through. Thank you for reading and commenting!

The scriptures often focus on the religious men whose legacies have been passed down through the ages. So, I like that this book stars one of the women in their lives. I agree with your point that sometimes we find ourselves questioning God's mysterious ways when we are faced with struggles.

Thank you for your enthusiastic review.

I've read about Job's story in the Bible, but until I read this review, I didn't know much about his wife. Cynthia Koelker's The Legacy of Job's Wife sounds like the kind of book I would adore reading. I have no problem trying it out.
