    In Love Amid the Ashes Mesu Andrews brings the story of Job to life. She offers plausible explanations for the events depicted in the story of Job. Well-developed characters and realistic plot draw readers into the story. Research provides a solid foundation for the story, in the background without distracting the reader's attention. I'm reading this on a mobile device, making it awkward to refer to the character chart at the beginning of the book, which I'm sure would be very helpful for keeping everyone straight. I started reading this when I had quite a few other things going on and now I'm making time every day to read another portion of this fascinating story. I picked this book up on a free Kindle promotion, and now I'll be trying to track down the next title in the series!

    Love Amid The Ashes was a wonderful story. It is my first book by this author and I am really impressed. I have always loved the story of Job so this was really a joy for me to read his story in a novel version. I really liked that she brought Job's wife character more alive because the bible does not give us much details about her except the fact that she told him to curse God and die. I was really excited to meet Dinah Jacob's daughter in this book because again not much is said about her in the bible after her brothers bloodshed. I am looking forward to reading the other books in the series. I highly recommend this story to other readers.

    A whirlwind of historical fact, drama, love, and God's word, are all woven together to make two remarkable Biblical characters come to life. The details of family life in an era when women were treated as chattel is so rich and vibrant, you sympathize with the women, and burn over the arrogance of some of the men. And the picture of Job's suffering is so vivid, that it would be impossible to view the book of Job the same way again. And through it all, you see God's hand overseeing and directing, even through the failures of men.

    If there was a higher rating for historical fiction, I would give it. Mesu Andrews has a new fan.

    I have always loved Historical Fiction & have been intrigued by Job's story due to my own history of illness. I found this book so interesting & easy to read that I finished it in one day! My mind is still lingering on the complexities and thought-provoking concepts. The author did a great job explaining how God's Truth is constant, but historical study & imagination can weave parts of stories the Bible does not reveal. I can't wait to read more from this author!

    This story made Job come to life for me. I appreciated the interweaving of the lines of Jacob and Esau into the story. Job and his predicament became real--like I was actually present.
