Startling clarity is the hallmark of this narrative based on the 2 Chronicles account of the reign of Jehoshophat (near the end), Jorham and then his most evil Phoenician wife Athaliah over David's Kingdom of Judah. Since Athaliah is the daughter of King Ahab of Israel, she is imbued with evil personified by Jezebel (her mother, most likely) from her earliest memories which are filled with terror. Every page magnified these Biblically true events with real humanity, character, color and culture, and the climactic clash of good from God (Yaweh) against evil from Satan. Ginger Garrett is a wonder! I'll keep reading what she presents!

This is the story of Jezebels daughter, Athaliah, a Baal worshiper who was given in marriage to Jehoram, a descendant of David. It really shows you that the Bible is still the best story ever written. Its got a little bit of everything - love, marriage, betrayal, intrigue, murder, amazing miracles, wars, faith, prophecy - I mean, its simply amazing to get all of that in one book. The genre of biblical fiction (fiction based on bible stories) takes advantage of the wealth of material that God already provided.I simply loved, loved, loved this book. From page one I was completely drawn in and couldnt put it down. The characters were so alive and the world so vividly painted. I was being taught and entertained at the same time.This was a bloody, horrible time in the history of Gods children; the Jews. A dark page in their history as many turn away from Yahweh. Dark Hour is compellingly written and most exciting to me - the first in a trilogy! Ginger Garrett has done a fantastic job staying true to history while creating a fantastic story.

Hats off to this intriguing author of Biblical fiction. If youre looking for a vivid and original retelling of a fascinating but disturbing Old Testament story, look no further. Dark Hours import will transcend the pages and touch your life.Israel and Judah, though still Gods chosen, have parted ways and frequently war not only with the foreigners who surround them, but with each other. The two nations kings no longer seek God alone, prostituting themselves with strange gods. Jezebel, wife of King Ahab and nemesis of the prophet Elijah, isnt the only woman making waves. Her daughter Athalia, married to the future heir to Judahs throne, will stop at nothing to gain control of both nations.However, another woman holds a secret that can change the course of evil and bring back the throne of Judah to the line of David, where it belongs. Will she risk her own life and those of her loved ones to save her country?It has been a long time since the Bible has come so alive to me. When was the last time you read 2 Chronicles? Its more exciting than you think. Dark Hour guarantees it.
