My First Picks

Shalom!

Here are my first picks. I have read these every since I little, the 3rd since I was 10. These are a 100% safe.

I hope you enjoy them as much as I have through the years.

Summary: The author, H. Rider Haggard, best known for his timeless classic, King Solomon's Mine ( by the way, I DO NOT recommend KSM because of an evil religion part that creeps me out ) recounts in this tale  the inspiring story of Lysbeth, a young Dutch woman forced to endure the perils and tribulations of the Spanish Occupation's yoke and the Inquisition of the 16th century. The momentous events of her life unfold against the turbulent backdrop of the struggle for Dutch Independence, led by William the Silent.
  This enduring story of faith, love, and hardship is now presented in a newly revised and updated version for modern readers. Intense action, virtuous romance, and the abiding faith of the characters stand out from the pages of this unforgettable novel

  

 

Summary: From Sir, H. Rider Haggard, the author of the famous novel, KSM (as seen above), comes this classic adventure of Miriam, a young Christian woman living in the Roman Empire during during the first century after Christ, and Marcus, the Roman officer who has desired to win her hand. As Miriam faces hardships and fiery trials, her faith is continually strengthened by the Lord. The historic events  portrayed in Pearl Maiden culminate in the Roman siege and destruction of Jerusalem and its Temple in A.D. 70.

Now in a newly revised and update Centennial Edition, Pearl Maiden continues to be a wonderful story of faith for modern readers. Stirring events, captivating characters, and careful attention to historical detail are seamlessly blended here to produce a truly uplifting novel.      This is the only book I've seen on the fall if Jerusalem.

 (Though the two above may be considered by some a romance. It is not really a romance. Just a heads up I don't read romance books.)

Summary: Abandoned by his parents and shunned by society, Vinegar Boy is certain he'll be adopted once Jesus removes the ugly birthmark that scars his cheek. But when he carries the drugged vinegar wine to a crucifixion,  Vinegar Boy finds himself face to face with the only One who can heal his face. Is there still time for a miracle?
This book is a classic work of fiction that has inspired thousands of Christians for decades.


Thanks for looking. Hope you find one of these very good!
