This was an excellent book. Whether you're a religious person or not, you'll get drawn into the power of the story. Told from the point of view of a minor Biblical figure, it's incredibly believable and great to read. As someone who isn't religious at all, and pretty much only knows Biblical stories from when they are made into major movies, I certainly didn't expect to enjoy this book the way I did. But, the story is great, and the characters are very well written. There were people I wanted to hit at times, times I wanted to cry, and many times I felt very sorry for the role of women and girls back then. It's definitely a great book that I'd recommend to anyone.
