When Adah bat Shallum finds the governor of Judah weeping over the crumbling wall of Jerusalem, she learns the reason for Nehemiah's unexpected visit—God has called him to rebuild the wall around the City of David.Nehemiah challenges the people of God to labor on the wall and in return, the names of their fathers will be written in the annals for future generations to cherish. But Adah has one sister and no brothers. Will her father, who rules a half-district of Jerusalem, be forgotten forever?

Adah bravely vows to rebuild her city's wall, though she soon discovers that Jerusalem not only has enemies outside the city, but also within. Can Adah, her sister, and the men they love, honor God's call? Or will their mission be crushed by the same stones they hope to construct?

Review

Britton (Building Benjamin) continues her Tribes of Israel series in this fine retelling of a Bible story, this time that of the rebuilding of Jerusalem's wall. Adah is the daughter of Shallum, who rules half of Jerusalem. When she finds out that Nehemiah, the governor of Judea, plans to rebuild Jerusalem's wall, she volunteers her family to help. The prospect of an aging father, a blind mother, and two daughters working on the wall makes the family the butt of many jokes, emboldening Rephaiah, her father's co-ruler, to vocalize his contempt for Shallum's family in order to seize control of Jerusalem for himself. Nevertheless, Adah remains determined that her family be memorialized as one of those that helped to rebuild the wall. As Judea's neighboring territories try to stop the building of the wall, Adah's strength and courage make a friend and ally out of Nehemiah. Despite the opposition and the challenges Adah and Nehemiah face, they continue with the task that God has called them to do. Britton's story transcends a simple biblical retelling thanks to the feisty, unshakable Adah. (Dec.) Publishers Weekly 10-31-17 DETAILS

From the Author

I have taught the story of Nehemiah many times. Nehemiah helped restore the wall around Jerusalem and also led a revival among the people of Israel. In the list of builders, I read about Shallum and his daughters. Wait! Girls helped build the wall? Women construction workers? Adah's story was born. We don't know the names of Shallum's daughters, or how many daughters he had, but I have named them Adah and Judith. Action, adventure, and romance await these girls as they work with Nehemiah to rebuild the wall around Jerusalem.

This was a good story. It is a reminder that sometimes in the process of rebuilding things we may face many challenges. It is beautifully written. I like the fact that there was a blind person in it as well. I like the way the mother in the story is portrayed. I also like the story of Judith’s future husband. Not much has been written about concerning the Levites that married foreign women in Ezra’s time, what they might have went through when they turn back to God. Some of them did not put their foreign wives away but some of them did and, how hard that must’ve been and how bless they must have been for their obedience.

Barbara Britton has done it again! An excellent book that I would give 41/2 stars if I could. There were some grammatical errors that stopped me, but did not affect the flow of the book. Her characterization and plot are well done. What I especially liked were the Biblical characters and references. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a good read with accurate historical background.

I loved the compelling activity of this informative and interesting book. It made me want to read more about Bible events.
I heard myself in some of the comments about events that left the characters wondering about God’s plans and His presence in their lives.

Jerusalem Rising is a story of Nehemiah and the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem. The author uses a phrase of scripture that tells us of Shallum’s daughters helping to build the wall, and crafts a wonderful story around it. It’s well researched and scripted with beautiful language and imagery that will transport you to a different time and place. The story includes the hardships of drought, poverty, and unrest, but it’s also a story of love, faith, and victory. I highly recommend.

Jerusalem rising Adah's journey is exactly about just what it says. Adam was born in a twin girls world. Her family did not have one male – which Adah was told by her father's co ruler in the village – that that causes the family Shame – but this family is proud of their girls . What a Adah wants to do for a living? If you guessed perfume maker – if you guessed perfume maker/seller – you would be correct. So when Governor Nehemiah comes to town and shares his secret with a Adah that he was there to rebuild the wall of the city of King David – guess what? Guess what all Nehemiah shared with Adah? This is so intense this is unreal it is so great – it is phenomenal and unreal and how real it truly is . I received a copy of the book from the Publisher and Netgalley; all the opinions expressed in this review are all my own.

This was a new author for me but I purchased the book, because I love biblical stories and Jerusalem. The heroine was a lesser known but a very worthy person from the Bible. She must have been very special to have been mentioned among all the men repairers of the wall. There are so many gems among the stories of the Bible, and this is one of them. The author managed to capture the atmosphere, life and circumstances in such a real way that I was eager to be transported to the era and be part of it all.
