Book Description

Bestselling author Robert Whitlow returns with an international legal drama that speaks to critical issues of our day.

“Whitlow’s timely story shines a spotlight on prejudice, race, and the pursuit of justice in a world bent on blind revenge. Fans of Greg Iles’s Natchez Burning will find this just as compelling if not more so.” —Library Journal, starred review of A Time to Stand

You are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation . . .

During a terrorist attack near the Western Wall in Jerusalem, a courageous mother sacrifices her life to save her four-year-old daughter, leaving behind a grieving husband and a motherless child.

Hana Abboud, a Christian Arab Israeli lawyer trained at Hebrew University, typically uses her multi-language skills to represent international clients for an Atlanta law firm. When her boss is contacted by Jakob Brodsky, a young Jewish lawyer aggressively pursuing a lawsuit on behalf of the family under the US Anti-Terrorism laws, he calls on Hana’s expertise to take point on the case. After careful prayer, she joins forces with Jakob, and they quickly realize the need to bring in a third member for their team, an Arab investigator named Daud Hasan, based in Israel.

To unravel the case, this team of investigators goes from the streets of Atlanta to the alleys of Jerusalem, a world where hidden motives thrive, the risk of death is real, and the search for truth has many faces. What they will uncover will forever change their understanding of justice, heritage, and what it means to be chosen for a greater purpose.

“Whitlow gives a powerful message about the need for people of all colors and backgrounds to come together in times of trouble . . .” —Publishers Weekly review of A Time to Stand

“Whitlow is an amazing writer and he touches upon delicate topics with grit and respect.” —RT Book Reviews of A Time to Stand

My Review

I have enjoyed Robert Whitlow’s books for a while now, and this one it just as amazing as his previous books. I appreciate the fact that he write about issues that the world struggles with currently. I’m a time where there is so much hatred because of a person’s color, race, background, or just because people don’t like another person, Whitlow’s book Chosen People  brings to light the need for everyone to respect others, reguardless of who they are. Imagine what would happen if everyone read this book and followed what Whitlow is saying to everyone. And though fiction, this book hits the nail on the head about issues happening today. Things that are going on today in the families and lives of everyone. Oh that we might heed his voice and his words. I strongly encourage everyone to check this book out. And if you think it’s for you, then read a copy and see what you think.
I received this book from BookLook Bloggers to read and review. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are mine. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 55.
