bible story.

in the first book better.

least favourite bits in the book:
There were none.
Any
further books in the series? Any more planned by this author?
This is the second book in the series. I am
not aware of any further books planned.
What
books could this be compared to and why?
This book can be compared to the first in the
series. It provides a new and fresh look at bible stories.
Recommendation:
In
summary, I would recommend this book for the following readers:

Children |

If
you like poetry and bible stories from an
alternative viewpoint, this book may be the book for you.
I’m
certainly looking forward to reading more by this author.

Description by Author:
When her diseased desperation makes her lunge
for the hem of His garment, can she draw out a healing before her sleight is
discovered?
Healed of Chronic Hemorrhage is the
captivating story of the woman whom Jesus delivers from disease.
This is the second book in the Her Story
series. If you like women characters etched in bold strokes, this short read is
a must-buy.
***
Lost in mists
of Mosaic laws,
I dreamt of flying
free as a bird...
For dreams
were all I had...
Hope came later.
Twelve years I lived
in pain and shame
and darkness.
Could all of that vanish
in a day, a moment?
On my knees, in the crowd,
with trembling fingers,
I reached
for the hem of His robe
breaking the ancient taboo.
No one would notice,
I thought,
but then my eyes met His.
