Charles: The Heart of a King

Product Information

Smith poses and explores the question of whether Solomon’s wisdom ultimately helped or hindered him and how his relationship with God was affected. Even though I had already read the bulk of this story, I enjoyed every minute of it and it never felt stale or repetitive. Smith always writes fantastic Biblical fiction and I definitely recommend this one! The Heart of a King is a fascinating look at what it might have been like to be one of Solomon's wives. Beginning with Naamah, the mother of Rehoboam, and ending with the Queen of Sheba, each women's thoughts and motivations are examined. With tenderness and hopefulness, this story will wrap you up and put you in the center of a time, that is only read about in the Bible, of a time many have forgotten to remember. The rich historic detail is vivid and captivating and Smith has once again managed to make me fall in love with yet another amazing book. This is beyond 5 star worthy and I hope you, too, will fall in love with the story of Solomon and his loves.

The Heart of a King [Final Fantasy Walkthrough Chapter 10 – The Heart of a King [Final Fantasy

King Solomon was a very layered man. Reading this book gives you insight and perspective into this wise king. Employing a sort of “low baroque” prose, featuring such nail-snagging tropes as “cantillating with gusto” and “under pressure to cut some existing liegemen adrift”, Mayer exhaustively shades in her pen portrait of Britain over the past half-century, and in so doing the prince’s own baffled visage emerges: the eternally disappointing son of flintily determined parents, he seeks everywhere to emotionally connect, yet is doomed to forever be cut off by the glassy cage of his metonymy, one formed by the myriad lenses he continues to compulsively mug it up for. Several times Mayer observes that Charles and Diana had more in common with each other than they ever realised; he may seem a highly intelligent and thoughtful man, but I fear this is only by contrast with his notably stolid stablemates. If he were the truly subversive figure implied by my own dope-smoking anecdote, then like his late first wife – although for very different reasons – he might have smashed this cage to smithereens. The book description makes it sounds like the book is about four of the wives of Solomon, but most of the book takes place from Solomon's perspective. I was a little disappointed in the storylines of the wives. It felt like once Solomon was married to them and therefore done wooing them, their story was over.Head north into the next car (the seat next to Prompto will give an option to rest--don't). There are newspapers on some of the seats that you should take a look at--these will help you better understand what's going on (remember that it's a few weeks after Chapter 9). In the area immediately past the private cabins, there's a Hi-Elixir on the floor next to the exit door to the west. Pass through the dining car, where, past the bar, you'll find a Remedy on the western counter north of a radio. Go through the door to the north, and take the Gralean Medal of Distinction from atop a hatch in the southeastern corner.

I originally read Smith’s Loves of King Solomon series when they were released as novellas focusing on some of the women in Solomon’s life: Naamah – the mother of his heir, Abishag – the shepherdess who cared for his father, Siti – a princess of Egypt and Nicaula – the famed Queen of Sheba. Now, Smith has taken those excellent stories and woven in King Solomon’s perspective as well. It was interesting seeing how Solomon grew and changed through the eyes of wives and under the guidance of his mother Bathsheba. Each wife had a distinct personality as well as a vastly different relationship with Solomon. Solomon himself seemed in love with the idea of love but never content in his relationships. This is a balanced story about Solomon, showing both his mistakes but also his desire to stay true to God. Use italics (lyric) and bold (lyric) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song partThis quest is simply a time-killing quest; it will end after enough time has passed. However, you can and should take this time to search the train for valuables. I have been your Prince in peace, so will I be in war; neither will I bid you go and fight, but come and let us fight the battle of the Lord. The enemy perhaps may challenge my sex for that I am a woman, so may I likewise charge their mould for that they are but men, whose breath is in their nostrils, and if God do not charge England with the sins of England, little do I fear their force… Si deus nobiscum quis contra nos? (if God is with us, who can be against us?)” Stars for this biblical historical fiction novel. This novel follows the life of Solomon and 4 of the prominent women in his life - Naamah the Ammonitess, the mother of Rehoboam (who followed Solomon as king); Abishag - the shunamite who was in David's harem and was the subject of Adonijah's downfall; The Pharaoh's daughter (Ms. Smith named her Siti), who received her own palace and had the city of Gezer as part of her dowry, and the Queen of Sheba (named Nicauala in this book). While there was some overlap in the women's stories, it seemed that each woman got approximately a quarter of the book, starting with Naamah and ending with Nicaula. The book stayed as true to scripture as it could (there was a good bit of speculation, which is what makes it biblical FICTION) and told the story in a fresh and realistic way. Nicaula, the virgin Queen of Sheba who seeks Solomon's wisdom and a trade agreement. In her search, she finds wisdom for herself in a relationship with the God of Israel.

This story was easy and fun to read. I love biblical fiction books and I really enjoyed reading this. I felt like I got to know King Solomon and his wives better, although it is fiction-it makes the bible seem more alive to me.This is a beautifully written story that takes scriptures from 2 Samuel, 1 Kings and Song of Solomon. The use of scripture to create a story was AMAZING! It brought the scripture to life in a different way.
