Publisher's Summary:
Phoebe's life was moving as orderly as the recitation of prayers on a shimmering springtime evening. She was ready to leave the one-room bavith she had shared with her family since birth, at the outskirts of Jerusalem, to wed her betrothed. She would learn to love Joel, she was sure of it. All they needed was time.
And then, strolling along the River Jordan with her young nephew, she came across a scene which would change her life. John the Baptist was talking with a man who radiated serenity. The visions seared her soul. A baptism - a dove - and a watching Roman legionnaire with steady eyes like a wolf's. When Joel grabbed her arm and scolded her for straying from her path, she had that sense.
That sense that nothing would ever be the same.
River Jordan is book one of a gently cliff-hangered short story series. The sequence will lead up to a happily ever after ending. The series is clean romance and is suitable for all ages.

LOVED it!
I thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful, very touching short story. I teared up a couple times, but the writing and tone of the story was so peaceful and sweet. I highly recommend if you like quick historical and meaningful short stories.
Reimagining biblical stories
The Art of reimagining biblical story telling is ancient, these short stories take you right into the sights, smells of Jerusalem, the desert and the key historical figures. I love how Lisa takes us into this journey. For me it was not too short at all, I read it slowly savoring each changing scene and lingering in it. I also pondered how these stories invite the reader to reread segments of the bible. Thank you Lisa, this is just lovely!
River Jordan by Lisa Shea
Excellent ebook but it was way to short. I will give this ebook 5 stars and will enjoy reading more from this author.
An Enjoyable, and Clean, Short Story!
What drew me to this, was the promise of a good, clean, uplifting story, and I was not disappointed. The story doesn't finish here, but promises to be the beginning of a very enjoyable tale!
Artistic Prose
It seemed to end too quickly, and had a ton of descriptions, but, if you're looking for a brief glimpse into history with prose that makes you think of a beautiful painting, look no further. Sweet and lovely, brief little read.
