Book Review of And the Shofar Blew

And the Shofar Blew
reviewed on + 23 more book reviews


There is a reason why this is practically the only book by Francine Rivers that is easy to get hold of on book swapping site. Quite simply, it is not her best work. The characters are thoroughly developed and the spiritual themes are, for the most part, done well. But the plot is fairly predictable and struggles through a very slow beginning. I was also disappointed that the issue of spousal abuse in a Christian home was swept aside and never dealt with. If you are a serious Francine Rivers fan, this is a book to read and then probably pass along.
