The Heart of a King
The Heart of a King: The Loves of Solomon | Jill Eileen Smith
9 posts | 4 read | 4 to read
King Solomon was wealthy and wise beyond measure. He could--and did--have anything he wanted, including many women from many lands. But for all his wisdom, did he or the women in his life ever find what they searched for all of their lives? In this engrossing novel, you'll find yourself whisked away to ancient Israel, where you'll meet Solomon and four of the women he loved: Naamah the desert princess, Abishag the shepherdess, Siti the daughter of a pharaoh, and Nicaula the queen of Sheba. As you experience the world of Solomon through his eyes and the eyes of these women, you'll ask yourself the ultimate question: Did Solomon's wisdom ultimately benefit him and those he loved . . . or did it betray them?

When I choose to read this book, I was afraid it was going to be 4 sappy love stories. It was not that at all. Instead, it showed the complexities and nuances of 4 of Solomon‘s wives and the impact each had on him. I especially loved the tie-ins to the book of Ecclesiastes. This book, at its heart, is not a love story, but a journey about wisdom. I highly recommend it.

Loved this book. I enjoyed the differing perspective of each of the wives. The story moved quickly and kept you wanting more.

I wholeheartedly feel that The Heart of a King is a novel that must be experienced. It‘s deep, raw, and honest. It holds a mirror up to its readers and gets us to look deep into our hearts. It‘s exactly what Biblical fiction should be!

I loved learning more about King Solomon and four of his many wives. This book focuses on how those four wives may have felt before, during, and after marrying the King. We can only imagine what feelings they may have had in such a situation but I felt like Jill portrayed them very well.

I received a complimentary copy from the publisher. I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine alone.
