Happy Friday Bookworms!
I have been in serious bookworm mode this entire month and have been reading some amazing novels, including the novel that I am featuring today for First Line Friday! I know it's been quite awhile since I've participated, and I couldn't let another Friday go by without sharing my own first line.♥︎
I am participating with Carrie Schmidt at Reading is My Super Power and today I am featuring the first line from The Ark and the Dove by Jill Eileen Smith.
I am also showing off this gorgeous cover today on my Instagram page with a giveaway opportunity from JustRead Tours, so be sure to stop by once you've read the first line from this awesome Biblical fiction here! ABOUT THE BOOK
Title: The Ark and the Dove
Author: Jill Eileen Smith
Publisher: Revell
Release Date: February 27, 2024
Genre: Biblical Fiction
Zarah and Noah have walked together with the Creator for their entire lives, and they have done their best in an increasingly wicked and defiant world to raise their three sons to follow in their footsteps.
It has been a challenge--and it's about to get much, much harder.
When the Creator tells her husband to build an ark to escape the coming wrath against the sins of humankind, Zara steps out with him in faith. But the derision and sabotage directed their way from both friends and extended family are difficult to bear, as is knowing that everyone she interacts with beyond her husband, her sons, and their wives is doomed to destruction. And when the ark is finally finished and the animals have been shut up inside, Zara and her family embark on an adventure that will test their patience and their faith as they await deliverance and dry ground.
Experience the story of Noah and the flood like you never have before. With bestselling and award-winning author Jill Eileen Smith as your guide, you'll never look at a rainbow the same way again.
