MY REVIEW:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Although Promised Land follows Chosen People, the first book in Whitlow\u2019s Chosen People series that I somehow missed, I had absolutely no problem following the story line. This book can easily stand on its own but after reading it I am already thinking about how I can fit it into my reading schedule.<\/p>\n

With its vivid settings in both Atlanta and Israel, wonderfully complex characters, and a plot filled with international intrigue and Whitlow’s trademark legal scenes, this book held me captive for several hours. There was enough danger and suspense to make me hold my breath a few times but it was relieved by touches of humor and love along the way. I was captivated by Hana’s songs in the night as she poured out her love for the Lord and interceded for her husband and others she loved in an amazing\u00a0 way.<\/p>\n

I enjoyed this book from beginning to end and loved its message of hope in the midst of dangerous times.<\/p>\n

With historical mysteries, religious intrigue, and political danger,\u00a0Promised Land<\/em>\u00a0asks one momentous question: what if your calling puts you\u2014and your family\u2014in the crosshairs?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Despite their Israeli citizenship, Hana and Daud cannot safely return to their homeland because a dangerous terrorist ring is threatening Daud. Hana is perfectly fine remaining in the United States, working for a law firm in Atlanta, especially when she learns she\u2019s pregnant. But Daud can\u2019t shake the draw to return home to Israel, even if it makes him a walking target.<\/p>\n

Hana is helping her boss plan a huge Middle East summit in Atlanta when Jakob Brodsky, her old friend and former co-litigator, asks for her help with a current case. His client is attempting to recover ancient artifacts stolen from his Jewish great-grandfather by a Soviet colonel at the end of World War II. Because the case crosses several national borders, he knows he needs Hana\u2019s knowledge and skill to get to the bottom of what happened to these precious artifacts.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Daud is called in to help a US intelligence agency extract a Ukrainian doctor from a dangerous situation in Egypt. While overseas, he can\u2019t resist the call of Jerusalem and thus sets off a series of events that puts thousands of people in danger, including his wife and unborn child.<\/p>\n

Bestselling author Robert Whitlow explores the meaning of family and home\u2014and how faith forms the identity of both\u2014in this breathtaking follow-up to\u00a0Chosen People<\/em>.<\/p>\n
