A Light on the Hill (Cities of Refuge Book 1)
Connilyn Cossette
Bethany House Publishers
336 pages
I read many books through the year in different genres. It’s a rare book that I want to read again immediately.
This is one of those books. It’s that good.
Faithful readers of Connilyn Cossette already agree that she’s an outstanding storyteller. However, she’s surpassed herself in this extraordinary book. Moriyah’s life has been filled with fear and tragedy. She makes an unintentional, terrible mistake and finds herself fleeing to a City of Refuge to escape the man that wants to kill her. The story of her flight to one of these cities is suspenseful, compelling, and absorbing. Moriyah has become one of my favorite fictional characters. She shows a way to fight through fear and to trust God completely even when it seems there will be great cost to follow Him.
I also loved the setting of the book. Although I’ve read many times in the Bible about the Cities of Refuge and understood their purpose, I learned so much more about them as I read through the book. I appreciate the author’s research and attention to detail.
If you love novels set in Biblical times, this book is a must-read for you. I am already greatly looking forward to the next book in this series.
There’s no embarrassing scenes in this book. No bad language. I always appreciate the high standard that Bethany House Publishers sets for their authors.
I actually am going to start reading through this book again today!
I will check this one out. Sounds interesting!
