Review: Isaiah's Legacy

Isaiah's Legacy

"At eight years old, Shulle has known only life in a small village with her loving but peculiar father. When Uncle Shebna offers shelter in Jerusalem in exchange for Shulle's help tutoring King Manasseh, Judah's five-year-old co-regent who displays the same peculiarities as her father, she's eager to experience the royal court. But Shulle soon realizes the limits of her father's strict adherence to Yahweh's Law when Uncle Shebna teaches her of the starry hosts and their power.

Convinced Judah must be freed from Yahweh's chains, she begins the subtle swaying of young Manasseh, using her charm and skills on the boy no one else understands. When King Hezekiah dies, twelve-year-old Manasseh is thrust onto Judah's throne, bitter at Yahweh and eager to marry the girl he adores. Assyria's crown prince favors Manasseh and twists his brilliant mind toward cruelty, beginning Shulle's long and harrowing journey to discover the Yahweh she'd never known, guided with loving wisdom by Manasseh's mother: Isaiah's daughter, the heartbroken Hephzibah. Amid Judah's dark days, a desperate remnant emerges, claiming the Lord's promise, "Though we're helpless now, we're never hopeless--because we serve El Shaddai." Shulle is among them, a girl who becomes a queen through Isaiah's legacy."

"No place is beyond Yahweh's reach - including a man's heart."

Mesu is an AMAZING author! She does her research, and you can see it. You can see her heart and soul in each story, but more importantly you can see God and his amazing love in each and word!

I really enjoyed this story! Though it was a tough bit of meat to get through . It's definitely an eye opening story to sin that raged heavy in biblical times, but a WONDERFUL reminder of the beautiful grace of God and his redemption!

Menassah being on the autism spectrum was such an unique touch, and I really enjoyed reading it. It worked really well in this stroy.

There were so many moments when I felt God while reading this book! I just want all the people to read it. All of them. Mesu's books are ALWAYS worth the time!

I can't even put all my thoughts into words, which I've come to find is normal with Mesu. She leaves me speechless and a bit changed every time! 
5/5 stars
