Zipporah, Wife of Moses (Abridged): A Novel Audiobook

" A nice story about the beautiful Cushite wife of Moses. Strong and smart, I appreciated the character and her story. "

" An interesting read - makes you want to read the appropriate section of the Old Testament to see how the story matches. A book about a very strong woman; but every once in a while it just doesn't ring true. "

" Really stupid book... I'm only finishing it because I rarely give up on books. However, this one is killing me! One-dimensional characters, and too much angst. UGH "

" I am addicted to these books... Now I need to read the next one! "

" Now that I've lived through an earthquake, I know what was happening in the Old Testament when they thought God was speaking to them! I thought I heard God's voice ... amazing! I love the way you feel you are relieving the Old Testament and the characters become so real. Neat story! "

" I loved this book; one of his best. "

" things written on the Bible that I did not know very well "

" A fun read. Love the subject matter. Not quite up to 'The Red Tent' in my book, but certainly well written and helps pass the time on the treadmill. A bit torn about the liberties taken with the fate of Moses' family, esp the sons. "

" Marek Halter is very skillful at bringing to light how women lived in biblical times. He has a great imagination and creates some strong female personalities behind thoses well-known males. Beautifully written and... to my surprise... a book I had difficulty putting down. "

" Very good read. I found myself reaching for my Bible to cross-check events and times, though. Thought-provoking look at the wife of Moses as well as Moses himself. "

" pretty interesting just remember when you read it the author took alot of liberties "

" I love tho whole series. GREAT stories, for those excluded from the bible ( real women . Great writer "

" Not as riveting as The Red Tent or The Gilded Chamber. It was fine to listen to on audio while driving to and from work, but I'm glad I didn't take any free time to devote to it. "

" Zipporah, Wife of Moses, is the second book in the Canaan Trilogy and is a good example of midrash. "

" I loved this story....It opened my eyes to the tale behind the life of moses and it goes to show that love plays an important role in even the most powerful and talked about men. "

" I do not recommend this book to any historical/religious fiction readers. This book portrays Moses as weak and whiny. Plus his sons die in the end? Pretty sure that didn't happen. "

" Very Good Read. It is a story about Moses and how he meet his wife Zipporah.She was a source of strength for him. The journey to free his people was one that was wrought with betrayal, love, and redemption. Must read "

" I really don't think this book was very accurate. Some of the story does follow the biblical tradition, but a good portion of it is purely speculation. Also, it was a lot racier than I expected. Not sure I want to think of Moses in quite that way... "

" This is the second un a triology of the women of the Bible. I got it in early summer and just haven't gotten to it yet. Just like Sarah, Zipporah had faith in a husband who had a faith in G-d. "

" Although fiction, enjoyed reading a 'woman's perspective' from biblical times. "

" Great book--very readable, entertaining and informative! "

" quick read/ interesting also but not great -too much fiction for me "

" The series on women in the bible is great. "

" This was a good book I liked it. "

" Ugh. Thin, stagnant characters and woefully inaccurate this book is as full of itself as it is pointless. "
