A Light on the Hill

This book was just okay for me.

Since this book carried over from the previous series by the same author, there are several mentions throughout to the Rahab incident which was not represented accurately to the biblical account. I will not go into details here, as the inaccuracies are much more prevalent in Wings of the Wind; for more information, see my review of that title. Though the inaccuracies were mostly glazed over in this book, this still bugged me and, along with the idol worship and derogatory terms, dipped my rating to three stars.

There were consequences for a character's lying. Finally! I feel like this is something not highly focused on, but lies are not okay and there are real consequences in life. I'm so glad this book spoke truth on this.

The journey and hope for freedom from accidental sin was lovely. We all mess up, sometimes without meaning to. There is still Hope for us in those moments, and His name is Jesus. We serve a grace-giving God, and I'm so grateful He's quick to forgive when we realize we've sinned, admit that sin, and turn our backs on the sin. Y'all, this heartfelt remorse and repentance was on beautiful display within this story. Moriyah's heart ached at her accidental sin, and seeing her yearning for hope was completely relatable.
