Love Amid the Ashes

Treasures of His Love, Book 1

By: Mesu Andrews

Narrated by: Lisa Larsen

People often think of Job sitting on the ash heap, his life in shambles. But how did he get there? What was Job's life like before tragedy struck? What did he think as his world came crashing down around him? And what was life like after God restored his wealth, health, and family?

Through painstaking research and a writer's creative mind, Mesu Andrews weaves an emotional and stirring account of this well-known story told through the eyes of the women who loved him. Drawing together the account of Job with those of Esau's tribe and Jacob's daughter Dinah, Love Amid the Ashes breathes life, romance, and passion into the classic biblical story of suffering and steadfast faith.

Amazing, thrilling, challenging!

This one is a nail- biter! I stayed up way too late several nights because I couldn’t stop listening. The story is heart wrenching; the characters emotionally powerful; the transformative power of their faith- challenging and inspiring. I loved the story though at times I just wanted to get past the agony! It really brought Jobs suffering to life! I really appreciate how Mesu takes the time to explain from where and how she accumulated her research and developed it into fiction while using as much fact and scripture as possible. What a gifted and inspiring author. I have just finished reading- listening to all of her novels. What a blessing!

Loved

This book was my first experience reading Mesu Andrews...it was so alive and real...felt like I was there...can’t wait to read more

Andrews knows Yahweh with a true heart

Outstanding presentation, outstanding research, bringing characters to life in ways I’ve never thought of. Thank you Mesu Andrews for creating this tapestry of life to surround the biblical character of Job and his wife!

What If?

What if, Job was alive during the patriarchal era? He very well could have been. Great story telling, redemption, faith, love and typical M.A.’s fictional account weaved within God’s Holy Word. If you know your bible, listen to the author’s note first. Then proceed. A great fictional account of Jacob’s “ deceiver – ness” and all of the dysfunctions of his household. Yet, God chooses and God loves, and God blesses who he blesses. Recommended!

The Bible came to life

This Author is truly blessed in her abilities to make the Bible come to life. I can't even imagine how hard it is to do research and put the puzzle pieces together for these type of books. I got goosebumps when God spoke to Job, and even had to listen to those few chapters over again to FULLY grasp everything. This is entertainment, and a soul searching lesson all rolled into one. Goodness I just want to hug Mesu Andrews. Lovely work.
