Talk about making the Bible come alive! I have read through the Bible multiple times and seem to get a little lost going through the books of Jeremiah and Ezekiel. Author Mesu Andrews did such an excellent job of taking this ugly and difficult time – the fall of Jerusalem and exile to Babylon – and made the events clear and understandable.

Imagine learning Biblical history, world history and geography while enjoying a surprising romance. I experienced each of those and more while reading By the Waters of Babylon. I met new fictional characters who interacted with real heroes mentioned in the Bible. I cringed at the parts that depicted actual horrors experienced by the Israelites and felt pure joy when the honest truth of God‘s love provided healing and hope.

If you love biblical fiction (stories based on events in the Bible), I‘d recommend Mesu Andrews‘ novel — any of them. She‘s a voracious researcher and equally talented storyteller. Even though this a novella, it‘s packed with intense emotion. Be prepared to to invest reading time and thinking time on this book. If you love great drama mixed with a little suspense, you‘ll love this book. I received a free copy in exchange for my review.
