in him and his ministry. When things go too far and his
wife is caught in a scandal, he questions everything. Who
exactly is this woman that he married? Will they be able
to have a future together?
Jacquelin Thomas has written a gripping inspirational
romance. She has taken the biblical story of Jezebel and
given it a fresh, contemporary twist. This is powerful
story that details love and ambition and a woman's
inability to tell the difference. Her characters are well
developed and we gain an insight into the motivations that
drive them. Whereas Traynor is a Godly man, Jessie Belle
is a woman who is not above using manipulation to obtain
anything she wants. Jessie Belle is a character that you
will love to hate; yet at the same time you are wondering
when and how she will find redemption. JEZEBEL is an
amazing story, and it brings to life the temptations that
we face everyday and the consequences of the decisions we
make. I applaud Ms. Thomas for tackling such a challenging
subject and creating this wonderful tale.
The biblical story reworked as a “cunning”(RAWSISTAZ
Reviewers) contemporary romance of sin and
salvation—from the Essence bestselling
author.
