Excellent & Heartwarming
First… I thoroughly enjoy this author. Anthony has a wonderful writing gift to communicate with depth, without becoming mundane or repetitive. And once again, he delivered his gift in “Izzy the Bernese Mountain Dog.” _Judy Potter
Clever Izzy
"I liked that the story was told by Selma the cow. It was clever. Izzy was a great dog, seeing her grow and become an amazing farm working dog and hero through the tale. This story is good for younger readers who want a clean adventure . . ." _Shannon C.
Illuminating
“A glorious novel illuminating one of the Bible's greatest stories of transformation. Barbera fills in the human details with masterful skill.” _Christian Book Review
Loved it!
"Jonah In the Time of the Kings" is a great story about how it might have been during the historical time when Jonah was swallowed by a large fish for refusing to go to Nineveh. But God had a plan and a reason for it all. Loved seeing how life was for a prophet of the Lord during Israel’s adulterous years. Made the story come to life. _JP
Life Changing
"Jonah In the Time of the Kings'' is one of those stories that can change your life!" _
Mark Molica
Great Read
This book is a work of fiction based on the book of Jonah. The author has compiled a great novel that brings us into the midst of cruel Assyrians (inhabitants of Nineveh - in today's northern Iraq) who conquer ancient Syrians that in turn want to invade divided Israel and Judea. "Jonah In the Time of the Kings" is a great read, and I recommend it to anyone who wants to tap his toes in the time of Jonah. _Verifyed
A Time Like Our Own
"Barbera’s carefully researched novel illuminates Jonah’s remarkable story of transformation filling in the details with a moving and inspiring portrait of Jonah, the prophet who lived in a time shockingly similar to our own..." _Index Tribune
A Wonderful Read!
... A truly wonderful read! I thought a story about Jonah would be childish-this was anything but. Everything came so alive to me, I could sense God’s love AND urgency. Jonah was a wonderful character we could all relate to...
