Netgalley and Revell have provided me with a copy of The Ark and Dove for review:

In an increasingly wicked and defiant world, Zara and Noah have raised their three sons to follow in their footsteps by walking with the Creator their entire lives. It has been a challenge — and it’s about to get much, much harder.It’s been a challenge — and it’s only going to get worse.

After the Creator instructs her husband to build an ark to escape the coming wrath, Zara steps out with him in faith. Although disdain and sabotage directed their way by both friends and extended family are hard to bear, as is knowing that everyone she interacts with beyond her husband, her sons, and their wives is doomed to destruction. And when the ark is finally finished and the animals have been shut up inside, Zara and her family embark on an adventure that will test their patience and their faith as they await deliverance and dry ground.Following the completion of the ark and the enclosure of the animals, Zara and her family embark on an adventure that will test their patience and faith as they await deliverance.

I give The Ark and Dove five out of five stars!
