She’erah’s Legacy

 

Book: She’erah’s Legacy

Author: Naomi Craig

Genre: Historical fiction, Biblical fiction

Release Date: August 15, 2023

As tragedy ravages the camp, can She’erah step up and complete the outpost?

She’erahs is a woman trying to leave her mark in a man’s world. Her vision and ability surpass her father’s, yet she remains second-in-command as they are tasked to build Pharaoh’s outposts in Canaan. She knows she is worthy of the task, but her clan is sceptical

The last place She’erah expects support is from her charioteer, but Lateef is the lone voice of encouragement. His integrity and steadfastness are a plumb line in She’erah’s life and she can no longer deny her growing feelings for him.

Acts of sabotage threaten the construction and the shaky foundation of She’erah’s pride. It’s up to She’erah to break generations of rivalry, distrust, and jealousy—if she can learn to rely on the strengths and abilities of those around her to help.

Will she learn to trust God and others before her life’s legacy comes crumbling down around her?

My Thoughts on She’erah’s Legacy

When I saw this book I had to go see where She’erah was mentioned in the Bible.  I couldn’t remember ever having seen her before.  When I did manage to find her she had just one verse about her.  But that’s okay because this book takes that one book and masterfully tells a tale that you won’t want to miss.  

I couldn’t put it down.  I’ve read a few Biblical fiction novels.  It’s hit or miss whether I love them or not.  But I did really enjoy this book as I have the other ones by Naomi Craig.  She’s an expert when it comes to writing books. 

The characters were well-written and thought out.  I enjoyed getting to know them.  It seemed that I was right there with them as everything was happening.  I highly recommend you grab a copy of this book.  Oh, and it’s part of a series so you should try to find the others and read them too.  

I have voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from Celebrate Lit. All views expressed are only my honest opinion. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way. All opinions expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the FTC regulations.

She’erah’s Legacy

 

Author of Biblical fiction, avid reader, and pastor’s wife, Naomi loves reading the Bible and imagining how things were at the time. When she’s not serving in various areas at church, trying to stay on top of mountains of dishes or convincing her rescue dog, Freeway, to be cute on command for Instagram reels, you’ll most likely find her enjoying a good book and a cup of coffee.

Naomi co-hosts #BehindTheStory with Naomi and Lisa, an author interview show on YouTube and your podcast platform of choice.

More from Naomi

A woman architect in ancient times?
 
She’erah’s family is mentioned in five verses in 1 Chronicles 7:20- 24. In this brief detour from the list of genealogy, we learn some interesting facts.
She’erah is the granddaughter of Joseph (yes that Joseph with the coat of many colors, vizier to Pharaoh)
Two of her brothers get themselves killed for cattle rustling.
Her father, Ephraim, goes into deep mourning for his sons.
There is a late-in-life baby (as a result of dad’s mourning)
and She’erah built Lower and Upper Beth Horon and Uzzen She’erah.
Then we are right back to the begats.
 
Wait, hold on.
 
That’s all we get? What is the story behind her building these towns (two of which are still standing today)? What was the reaction of those around her?
 
Something I find helpful to remember is that when you know about someone’s family, you in a way know the person. With her grandfather being Joseph, suddenly we have opened a whole new world of what we know. She’erah and the clan would have had access to all of Egypt’s knowledge and resources. Where she still might have gotten backlash from her more Hebrew clan, Egyptian women had more independence, managing their husband’s estates, or even their own.
 
We also know the generational legacy that was passed down of the younger sibling being favored above the older. Ephraim over Manasseh, Joseph over his ten elder brothers, Jacob over Esau, Rachel over Leah, Isaac over Ishmael. I’m sure sibling rivalry could have been present.
 
So now we can see She’erah’s picture a little more clearly.
 
A brilliantly minded woman determined to prove herself and her abilities. Raised in Egyptian courts, yet also Hebrew. A strange mix of cultures and dynamics that shape She’erah and nurture her gifts.
 
She’erah’s legacy is not only the towns she builds for generations to come, but also how she starts the work of unearthing the deep-seated rivalry that is entrenched in her family.
 
I pray you’ll enjoy She’erah’s adventures, as she learns to trust the Lord and those around her.
 
Best Regards
Naomi

    Well-written Biblical fiction brings to life the stories of the Old and New Testaments as well as providing me more information about the history, traditions, beliefs, and living conditions of those times. She’erah’s Legacy will shed light on one particular woman of that time period.
