Land
of Silence by Tessa Afshar is a retelling of Biblical story of the woman with
the bleeding condition. Not only did I read this book at the right time. To get
out of my reading slump, but it also helped me deal with losing my
mother.
Tessa's
books always seem to come to life for me. The characters seem so real. Land of
Silence was no different. Eilanna has faced hardships in life; she's almost
given up hope. When she hears of the messiah someone who can heal her. So
she searches him out. In the end she doesn't just find physical healing
she finds so much more.
I was
having a hard time dealing with losing my mom, but after reading Land of
Silence and the recount of the bleeding woman in the Gospels; I was reminded
that I am still a daughter. But more importantly as a believer I am a daughter of
the King of kinds, and Lord of lords.
So
thanks Tessa for writing this book. It was truly a God moment that the
publisher chose to release it when they did. It was released the right moment
as I was reminded me of Who's I am.
I received a complimentary copy of Land of Silence from Netgalley. I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine alone.
