Through Martha's Eyes

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, and felt transformed into the life and context of the family in the setting. The thorough research and understanding of the Biblical facts and context were beautifully interwoven within the story, which brought these well known Biblical characters to life. I could almost smell the perfumes being created in the shop, and the wonderful aroma of spices and herbs that filled the home as meals were prepared, and bread was baked. I purchased extra copies that I gave to my adult children and will give my final extra copy to mission partners in Malawi, to spread this lovely book to a further continent. Looking forward to your next book Corinne. 5 stars for your first book.

I was given this book, and read it avidly. The story unfolded gently to give the 'flavour' of everyday life in Bethany/Jerusalem, and the characters were so credible, offering the imagination a possible view into how life worked, and how precious Jesus became to many who met Him,and learnt to understand who He really was...the Messiah. Really beautifully written, with a story line that mirrors the Bible's melody, and I recommend it as a fine read. I have bought more copies to give to friends, and have lent my copy out already.

The attention to detail and the highly imaginative descriptions of happiness, grief, anxiety and not to mention cooking, made me as a reader feel as though I was living the experiences with Martha and family. A thoroughly good read. Feeling withdrawn I have now finished. Cannot wait for your next book. Thank You

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and felt that I was actually there with Martha. The descriptions of Martha's cooking, you can almost smell the food - wonderful. Corrine makes everything come alive and what an insight into the lives of Martha and her family. I want to know what happens to Martha. Next book ... ?

A thoroughly well researched and absorbing book. Accessible and enjoyable to read, as well as highly informative. Gives a really helpful understanding to the history, culture and context of the Gospel events. You finish it much better informed, uplifted and challenged too.
