Veronica: The Woman with the Issue of Blood by
Lucinda Weeks is a captivating scriptural work of fiction that encompasses all
the makings of a great novel. Relevant today, the issues, the emotions and
reality of Veronica’s trials, make this an excellent read as the author covers
a variety of issues: sin, abortion, forgiveness and healing from a Biblical
perspective from Scripture.
Filled with romance, adventure, perseverance, faith,
forgiveness and healing, the author gives a fictional account of the story of
the woman with the issue of blood told in the New Testament. Well-written, the
author will keep you glued to the book as the main character, Veronica (the
woman with the issue of blood) and her husband desire to have children.
Unrelated to the issue of blood, as readers will find out, they are unable to
have any children of their own. Eventually they adopt three children. Tragedy
strikes and Veronica is abruptly widowed, left to care for her three children
alone. She remarries, but marries a man who is deceiving her. As an unwanted
pregnancy comes, she decided to end the pregnancy, but is left with an issue of
blood that plagues her life for twelve years.
The story unfolds as a woman who once had it all, loses
everything, even custody of her children. In her despair, she risks it all to
touch the hem of the garment of the One who has been spoken about – Jesus. She
comes to find that not only is she completely healed, but she is also forgiven
of All her sins – including the crude abortion that she didn’t think she
could be forgiven for. This is an amazing story of redemption with all the
aspects of a romance novel immersed within ~ love, betrayal, overcoming immense
guilt, fear and shame and the redeeming love Christ has to offer create a
wonderful, biblically entertaining read.
A truly amazing read!
Highly recommended.
