Counted with the Stars (a book review)

Book review: Counted with the Stars by Connilyn Cossette

Great read! I really enjoyed reading this work of Biblical historical fiction! I recommend this book to all who search and wonder.

This is a story regarding the plagues/attempt for freedom in the Bible told by an outsider of the Israelite group, an Egyptian slave. I especially loved the Egyptian history as it related to this story. Being fast paced, full of intrigue and mystery, I finished this book in a matter of days!

In the Bible, it mentions those who decided to flee Egypt ( and Pharoah) and essentially be integrated into the Israelite tribes. This was not a light decision and involved a lot more than we think. I loved stretching my brain and viewing this common-told story from a different perspective!

I received this book for free from Bethany House Publishers but the review and opinions are my own.
