![]() ![]() (Again, please note this book, like the others in the Lineage of Grace series, is written with an evangelical Christian point of view. ![]() This, combined with the fact that the David and Bathsheba story suffers from the novella-length format, makes Unspoken far less compelling than either Unashamed or Unveiled. But unlike Rahab ( Unashamed) and Tamar ( Unveiled), both of whom are strong, active heroines, Bathsheba appears as a rather passive victim. The author does a competent job of retelling the biblical story of David and Bathsheba, and her portrayal of the doomed Uriah is both vivid and poignant. So David concocts a plan to fob the child off as Bathsheba’s husband’s - but Uriah is no simple dupe, and God’s plan for David and Bathsheba sets them on a difficult path to redemption. For Bathsheba is a married woman, and when she becomes pregnant by David, not only her life but the very kingdom is threatened. But when he spies a beautiful woman bathing on her rooftop, David risks everything when he takes her as a lover. ![]() King David of Israel has it all: wealth, power, women, and the love of God. ![]()
