David and Bathsheba by Aida Bode
Publisher: BookSurge Publishing (February 2008)
133 pages, eBook (provided by the Author for review)
Book Rating: 4 Stars
This is an adaption of the bible story about David and the adulterous affair he had with Bathsheba. It was beautifully written with language reminiscent of the bible itself, delving thoughtfully into the emotional conflict of all the parties involved and the repercussions their actions must have, yet remaining very faithful to the original story. That said, I must admit this is not my favorite bible story. The innocent husband and child were to suffer so David and Bathsheba could fulfill the prophecy and bask in their love now redeemed? As with many bible stories, it brings up more questions then it provides answers, but definitely thought-provoking and puzzling, which is perhaps its purpose. Great read with a wonderful, flowing style.
