Examining the time between the Crucifixion and Resurrection, this book based around the verse, Hebrews 19:27 explores what could have happened during those three days. Dodi, tasked with a terrible but necessary job helps bring this story to life. I love reading books by Caryl McAdoo. This book, though quick to read, contains excellent Biblical background and Scriptural references,

So if you enjoy Biblically-based fiction with a powerful and amazing message, check out this book for yourself.

I received a complimentary copy of this book, but this in no way influenced my review. All opinions are my own. ( )

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK

In Then Judgement my Caryl McAdoo, A story of the three days Jesus did not spend in the tomb, McAdoo gives her account of what might have happened during these three days. McAdoo creates characters that fit the story so well. I love Dodi, and the honoring but yet horrible job he had. This story is so beautifully written, and the Biblical details so vivid, I was in awe as I read the entire book, and shed many tears as I thought about the price Jesus paid for my sins in order for me to go to Heaven. The pain and agony He suffered. And Praise the Lord Jesus didn’t stay in that tomb!

I love Caryl McAdoo’s books, and I think I have found my favorite book that I have read of hers. If you enjoy Biblical fiction, this is one you really need to read. You will not be disappointed. And you might just find a new author to follow. For me, Then Judgement is Five Stars (plus more if I could give it more).

A special thanks to the author/publisher for a copy of this book. I am not required to write a positive review, the opinions here are mine alone. I am disclosing this with my review in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255. ( )

The opening scene gave me shivers as Dodi follows an Angel into God’s glory. The peace that surrounded me was nothing I have ever felt. With so much going on in the world, I needed this book at this moment. I could feel the tip of a wing as it gently blew in the wind. I held my breath waiting and anticipating a journey I would never forget.

Dodi has been assigned to watch over Jesus and never leave his side. What an honor he felt that he had been chosen to watch over His Son. Was he prepared when Jesus took the brutal punish of the whip that lashed His back? The description of what was taking place was hard to read and I sobbed knowing the pain that was being delivered . He did this for us and at that moment I began to truly understand the sacrifice He made for us.

Before us is a story where we walk with Him through His life on the earth. All the miracles he did and the compassion He showed was revealed . Lucifer tries so hard to show that Jesus has sinned, but Dodi steps up to verify that He has done nothing wrong. Can you imagine being there watching Lucifer as he tries to convince others that Jesus is a sinner?

I enjoyed reading about Adam, Abel, Isaac, Cain and many more from the Bible. The author captures a time where we see what may have happened on the three days that Jesus was not in the tomb. The author delivers a powerful account where Jesus shows unconditional love to those who accept Him and descended up to Heaven. What a glorious sight that must have been to see those who thought they were destined to live in an evil presence to now be in a glorious place.

As you read the story the author reminds us of God giving us free will. We choose who we will follow. What happens when we choose to follow the enemy? The answer is easy. There are consequences for our actions. We tend to blame God for the bad things in life, but forget that perhaps we chose a path that didn’t guide us to God. The author includes many scriptures that I loved reading and helped tell the story better. This book has been given the genre of Biblical fiction, but I can say it is almost like reading the story from the Bible itself . With careful understanding of the scriptures the author captures what many of us imagine those three days were like. As always I have come away learning more about The Word and grow closer to Him after reading a book from the author.

I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion ( )
