About the Book Promised Land

Book: Promise Land

Author: Robert Whitlow

Genre: Christian Fiction, Suspense, Legal Drama

Release Date: January 14, 2020

With historical mysteries, religious intrigue, and political danger, Promised Land asks one momentous question: what if your calling puts you—and your family—in the crosshairs?

Despite their Israeli citizenship, Hana and Daud cannot safely return to their homeland because a dangerous terrorist ring is threatening Daud. Hana is perfectly fine remaining in the United States, working for a law firm in Atlanta, especially when she learns she’s pregnant. But Daud can’t shake the draw to return home to Israel, even if it makes him a walking target.

Hana is helping her boss plan a huge Middle East summit in Atlanta when Jakob Brodsky, her old friend and former co-litigator, asks for her help with a current case. His client is attempting to recover ancient artifacts stolen from his Jewish great-grandfather by a Soviet colonel at the end of World War II. Because the case crosses several national borders, he knows he needs Hana’s knowledge and skill to get to the bottom of what happened to these precious artifacts.

Meanwhile, Daud is called in to help a US intelligence agency extract a Ukrainian doctor from a dangerous situation in Egypt. While overseas, he can’t resist the call of Jerusalem and thus sets off a series of events that puts thousands of people in danger, including his wife and unborn child.

Bestselling author Robert Whitlow explores the meaning of family and home—and how faith forms the identity of both—in this breathtaking follow-up to Chosen People.

My Thoughts on Promised Land:

I did not read the first book in this series, Chosen People, first. I wish I had. I will be reading it even though they’re out of order because I want to know the rest of the story.

The history that is in this novel is so fun. Finding missing artifacts from WWII is something right up my alley. I love learning the history of that time period and that’s the perfect time to have Jews working with others.

Daud and Hana aren’t returning to Israel because of the danger from enemies that Daud has made. Okay, this is where I really wished I’d read the first book first. Because then I could find out why he made these enemies, who they are, and what is going on!

Can Daud resist the call to go back to Jerusalem? Will they remain safe? Can the mysteries be unravelled?

Great read and I highly recommend it. But please do yourself a favor and read the first one first. You won’t regret it.
