This was the second of Burton's books I've read, Women of the Bible: Jael's Story: A Novel having been the first. I expressed my reservations about Burton as a biblical fiction author in that review as well.Let me start though by saying that if I was reading this book from purely a fictional standpoint it would easy receive 5 stars. It had me thoroughly engaged - I could hardly put it down! There is no doubt Burton is a gifted writer as she weaves a marvelous tale with a touching lovestory and heartwarming friendships, bad guys you love to hate, redemption and forgiveness that moves you, and heroism that inspires. Where I begin to struggle is with Burton's apparent lack of respect for the divinely inspired Word of God.Just as I felt with Jael's Story, at best Burton takes liberties - at worst she's intentionally misleading some who may not take the time to read scriptures to know any better. Deborah is a character in Jael's Story and one of the reasons I read this book next was to hear the other side of the scene I'd already read from Jael's perspective. Imagine my surprise when that section was completely glossed over and hardly touched - especially since that is the portion we have the most detail on in scripture!Other portions of scripture were barely touched and in some cases the way they were addressed felt not to align with how scripture addressed them.My other concern was the way Deborah's prophetic gifting was portrayed.
