Here Burns My Candle By Lizz Curtis Higgs

I recently received a copy of Here Burns My Candle by Lizz Curtis Higgs from WaterBrook Multnomah, a division of Random House to read and review. I had never read any of Liz’s books before, so this was a new adventure for me.

Back dropped in a historical era of Scotland and with a parallel to the Book of Ruth, this book truly shows the talents and hard work this author puts into her books. Her research of Scotland, the era in which she is writing about and the biblical factors that she desires to emphasize is tremendous.

Here we find a widowed Mother, her two sons and daughter-in-laws residing in the same house. As war is breaking out in the country we find one daughter-in-law leaving her God to worship a pagan God, a Mother who has put her God on the shelf along with her bible and the other daughter-in-law who can only think of herself.

If you are like me who finds the complete book of Ruth intriguing and one of the best books in the bible about a biblical woman, then you will find this book to be a very good read. Lizz Curtis Higgs is able to entwine all worlds, that historical and biblical and brings them together in such a way that you can not put this book down.

You can purchase this book by going visiting WaterBrook Multnomah.
