Before the King is the second book I have read written by Heather Kaufman. It is the second book in the Women of the Way series and has become a must-read series for me. From the very beginning I was sucked in.
The character development was amazing. Scripture doesn’t tell us much about Joanna. So, it was fun to explore what her story might have been like. Learning about how people were treated who had different illnesses during bible times interesting.
The storyline and setting were great. It really brought the bible and Jesus to life. It was fun seeing what might have transpired from the little we know about Joanna.
The romance was the perfect balance. I loved watching Joanna slowly find love with Chuza. It was a slow build and was very clean.
Heather Kaufman did a great job intertwining faith throughout the whole novel. Which can seem easy to do when doing a biblical based book. It was very evident that a lot of research and time went into writing this book. I appreciate the work.
