The Priest: Aaron

We know only so much when it comes to Aaron, Moses’s brother, from the Bible. This book is a very interesting read and for a piece of historical fiction I feel like it humanizes Aaron and Moses. Aaron’s story is definitely one that we can all relate to, we all stumble and fall in our faith. The big takeaway from this book is the fact that we serve a loving Father that offer’s correction when we need it & offers us forgiveness when we ask for it and are truly repentant.

I have enjoyed the entire series about King Hezikiah. I am reading a lot of books in this genre because they bring the Old Testament characters to life. The book I received was in great shape, so thanks to the distributor. If you enjoy this type of story, I highly recommend this series.

I loved this book, and the series Francine Rivers wrote before it. She gives such insite to the old testement. She has a way of making it come alive.

this book was definitely a work of art by francine rivers. her writings continue to amaze me as I read her books. the priest was an amazing depiction of the story of Aaron, brother of Moses. It gave a new perspective on looking at the characters from a "real" standpoint rather than just historical figures. She gave them personality. I loved this book, and I definitely suggest it as a must-read!

In "The Priest," author Francine Rivers brings together an oft quoted/written about story (the Exodus story and subsequent events) and brings new life to them. First, I note that she does, indeed, rely heavily on Scripture (I state this to nullify the Publisher's Weekly review and criticism about this). Moreover, this actually adds to the story's authenticity. Rivers also sheds light on the Exodus events that few if any other writers have done before. Namely, she tells them through the eyes, not of Moses, but of his younger brother Aaron. In doing so she does a service to people who enjoy reading fiction and those who are serious students of Scripture. For those interested in applying the life lessons from Aaron, she includes a study guide in the back of the book. In all, it is an enjoyable read, and often an inspiring one also. Well worth, the price of admission.
