The opinions I have expressed are my own. I was not required to write a positive review. The age-old story of guilt, shame, and forgiveness comes alive in Jill Eileen Smith’s expert storytelling style.ĭisclosure of Material Connection: I received this book free from Revell/Baker Publishing Group.

I highly recommend The Prince and the Prodigal. This delightful rendering of a part of Hebrew history gives some additional insight into how the coat of many colors came to be and what it might have been meant in the family… What life was like in the nomadic wanderings of the descendants of Abraham… How to become a slave and advance to a position second only to Pharoah… What Jacob, Judah, and Joseph might have really been thinking and feeling… Using the well-known story and historical research she presents a fictional account that gives one new insight into the hearts and minds of Jacob and his children. In this fictional retelling of the story of the sons of Jacob, Jill Eileen Smith gives a unique perspective of what life might have been like in approximately 1500 BCE.
