Those of you who love to read might
find the reviews mentioned below important when determining which book to
select. For an author they are much more than that because they, each in their
own way, affirm the work and writer, and that is an amazing blessing indeed;
one not sought and therefore, more precious because these writers are skilled
in the art of writing.
When I read Gabriel
Patton’s Review of “Casa de Naomi: The House
of Blessing, Book Two” in The Messianic Times,
I was blessed! His opening paragraph says, “Drawing exquisite parallels
from the Book of Ruth, Casa de Naomi Book
Two is both a spiritual quest and a fascinating historiographical work.
Though the story initially focuses on Naomi’s search for a bedrock upon which
to build her faith, it moves seamlessly through multiple narratives to uncover
the many trials the Jewish people have borne throughout history and the joy
Naomi’s newfound friends have discovered in Yeshua,”
showed that he understood that this story has many levels making.
However, it was Rhonda
Gayle Nash-Hall’s review, which says, “Paula
Rose Michelson is certainly telling the good news through her fictional work in
this series of books. The back of her novel says: "Fulfilling Messiah's
Great Commission through Literature" and she does exactly that in her
writing. I love how she draws so many parallels between Ruth and Naomi in Casa
de Naomi with Ruth and Naomi of the Bible. I adore the way she has a
little child lead Naomi to some important truths during a simple activity such
as fishing together and sharing a picnic lunch. I also love how she has an
older woman teach the younger women and lead them to their own understandings
of God and the Bible. It causes me great pain to realize how Naomi feels that
she must hide her faith, her culture, her Judaism. It made me reflect on the
pain that so many Jews have experienced and the horrors of the Holocaust. I
imagine this book will make many readers reflect in a similar way, but Paula
leaves us with hope as she writes and weaves the tale of Naomi's life......read
to discover how Naomi and Chaz will resolve their problem: can he forgive her
lies? Can she forgive his anger towards her? Will Naomi find Messiah and welcome
him into her heart as the new family she meets has already done? Superb
writing! Incredible storytelling! Beautiful news!”
