Wonderful Biblical Fiction by Cossette

“The Almighty Creator spoke your being into existence. How could you be anything less than precious?” This is a quote to end all quotes for me, one I want to memorize, because it is TRUTH. What a wonderful, yet chilling, story Connilyn Cossette has penned in Shelter of the Most High. As always, I especially pay attention when a book has a double-entendre title. Well- done from the start! Cossette takes the reader back to the time in Israel’s history when Israel has just entered the Promised Land, captured much territory, and now their revered leader Joshua is ready to die. One of Israel’s traveling spies, Darek, finds Sofea and Prezi, malnourished and greatly abused, on an island. Taking them back to his family, Sofea and Prezi slowly heal as they are assimilated into a large family whose God is so very different from their own. Cossette is a new-to-me author that I can’t wait to begin reading more, starting with the first and soon-to-come third book of this series. This book, although book two of a series, stands well on its own. Spell-binding could describes Cossette’s writing. Once started, it was hard to stop reading. Perhaps gritty also describes Cossette’s style. Not in language, but the physical abuse, carnage, and false god worship may turn a few delicate stomachs. What else, besides the compelling storyline, history immersion, and sweet romance make this a great book? Themes of unrelinquished guilt, undeserved mercy, and unconditional love. If you have not tried Cossette’s Biblical fiction, or at least not Shelter of the Most High, I strongly invite you back to Cossette’s ancient Israel, the Cities of Refuge, and the Great Sea. I was given a complimentary copy of this book through Celebrate Lit. No review was required, and all opinions are my own.

A must read Biblical fiction

“The Almighty Creator spoke your being into existence. How could you be anything less than precious?” How can this be the first Connilyn Cossette book I have read? How could I have spent these past few years as an avid reader of Christian Fiction in such ignorance of the pure delight that is Connilyn Cossette’s writing? Wow, Shelter of the Most High totally blew me away. Kedesh, one of the cities of refuge during the time of Joshua, came to life in the pages and drew me in immediately. I love the way the author melds historical and Biblical facts with believable and realistic fiction to expand and stretch the reader’s horizon. The writing is beautiful and emotional, the plot is complex yet tightly woven, the characters are truly unforgettable, and the faith lessons are relevant. Sofea, along with her cousin, is a foreigner stranded amongst the Israelites in the city of Kedesh. Eitan is a young man sentenced to Kedesh for events that transpired eleven years ago. Reading Light On a Hill (book one in Cities of Refuge) prior to this book will help the reader understand the events chronologically. However, even without having read the first book, I was able to piece together the pertinent background from the first book by reading this one. Sofea is a fearful yet curious, loyal, determined, tender soul who has to learn a new way of life - from language to religion. Eitan is impulsive, strong, impatient yet kind, generous, loving, dedicated and fun. They both have different fears and hurts from their pasts to overcome as God gently works on their scarred hearts. Their romance is slow and sweet even as their budding friendship is threatened by evil intentions of others and their own insecurities. If you enjoy Biblical fiction, you don’t want to miss this book. It’s a must read! I received a copy of the book from Baker Publishing Group via Celebrate Lit Tours and was under no obligation to post a positive review. All comments and opinions are solely my own.

God's Love For Us

I am liking Biblical Fiction more and more. So much truth in these stories and it really makes me want to go back and read more in the Bible. I knew about the Cities of Refuge from reading the Bible but a story in depth about it is wonderful. Sofea and Eithan's story is intriguing. The way the characters and events are described you will feel as if you really are there and you really know them. A love story but so much more than that. We can see faith and forgiveness and God's love for us. He's a God of second chances which we all need at times. He is our refuge and shelter and Mrs Cossette writes it so well that you will feel it in your heart. Don't miss reading this whole series and the other books by her if you like Biblical Fiction at all. All her books are on my TBR list. I received a complimentary copy of this book from publisher/author. I was under no obligation to write a positive review. All opinions stated are my own.
