Ever wonder what really happened behind the proverbial scenes with those infamous women who became wives of some the most noteworthy men in the bible?
Episode 1: How explosive was a relationship when one sister snares a fiancée and marries him based on a major deception? And to add further drama, it all takes place in a way that the groom in question doesn’t have a clue until their wedding night. Imagine having to live in the same house after such a ruse had been pulled off, only to end up in a battle of the baby mamas.
Episode 2: What was life like for a military kid who already had her eye on marrying a childhood friend? Then imagine being forced into becoming a military wife of an ambitious officer before trading up after meeting King David, the love of her life?
.Episodes 3 and 4 are equally as drama-filled and as entertaining. The Real Housewives of the Bible is a punchline thunderbolt, an awakening to the fact that wives are truly the story behind the story.
This was an enjoyable and thought provoking read. An interesting take on the woman’s side of the story...makes you say “hmmm”. And, the author in no way tarnished the Biblical truths as she used her imagination to tell their stories. Will read the additional books in this series.
I love the author’s adaptation of a modern day story of these bible characters. This also encourages you to go back and read the stories in the Bible. I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

What about the wife who had to move pack up everything and leave an affluent lifestyle on a moment’s notice, simply based on something her husband “heard”? Then imagine having to share that same husband with another woman only to hear her taunts about the fact that she can do something the wife cannot?
What was life as a military kid, then forced into become a military wife of an ambitious officer really like for Bathsheba before meeting King David, the love of her life?
The Real Housewives of the Bible is a punchline thunderbolt and awakening to the fact that wives are truly the story behind the story. It’s a new and different way to experience Christian fiction.
This book was well crafted and easy to read. splendid concept and I loved how the author stayed pretty true to the Bible while weaving in attitudes and all from “today”. It really made the Word come alive for me. One of my favorite things about the book are the commentary after each story, that gave even more context and some afterthought that would point back to your own self-examining. The Bible stories selected were perfect for making the real-time points about the issues that we encounter even today. Overall a fast and easy read and you get the Bible story knowledge as well!
Kudos to Ms. Wilson for such an incredible book. For those who may not have or do not read the Bible, I feel this book with draw people to the word of God to actually read about the characters.
I really enjoyed the author's take on these women of the bible. She brought them to life and they became relatable. The only problem is the book was too short!(lol).
