|
King Solomon knew how to harness universal energies to build his temple, tap into wisdom, and enjoy all of life’s riches. The only thing he was missing was true love. Makeda, the Queen of Sheba, was young and filled with exuberant curiosity about the world. On her journey to meet King Solomon, Makeda learned about the Jinn elemental realm and how to work with the sun and moon’s magical light, but she still wasn’t sure how to take charge of her own life.
In Solomon’s Angels, Doreen Virtue’s first novel, which is based on thoroughly researched historical, biblical, archaeological, and culturally accurate information, you’ll see how Solomon and Makeda’s meeting changed both of their lives forever. You’ll peek over the Queen of Sheba’s shoulder and discover the ancient secrets behind how Solomon’s temple was built without hammers and saws, and the role that the archangels and sacred geometry played in manifestation and divine magic. Solomon and Makeda’s magically romantic story will inspire you in many ways . . . long after you’ve finished reading it! |

I loved this book! I couldn't put it down once I started reading it! The story give us a glimpse of the life of a king and a queen thrown into their roles as teens who meet and fall in love. But the book teaches us about the magic of not only love but of the spirit realm. Fascinating!!

This was an earnest effort to give us some insight into the lives of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. A tremendous amount of research was invested and several passages were entertaining, but not consistently. I was frequently distracted by Sheba's 20th-21st century voice:
* "I didn't need my mother, a husband, or a baby to make me feel complete! I was a strong, competent woman who was making a difference to my own commonwealth. I could attain fulfillment on my own, thank you very much." * "...perhaps the spicy food made my metabolism work overtime." * "I sighed with exhaustion at the thought of this momentous public relations campaign." * "I learned how to direct the fire's light to disinfect wounds, water, food, and anything else that needed sterilization." * "Once I overcame my mental blocks." * "Our plan was to perform the teleportation..." * "She explained that the king was a connoisseur of mental gymnastics." * "My tresses definitely needed attention." * "...the least he could do would be to get offof his darned throne and come meet me!" * "...our gifts basically canceled each other out!" * "The basis of our relationship was a strong electric magnetism that drew us together..." * "That dream had died the night before, damn it!" * "...the bottom line is that we must return to Sheba at once." The visiting queen frequently and inexplicably wandered about late at night, unescorted and undetected by her guards or Solomon's. And she talks about no longer desiring to "deify" the planets. Other quizzical "ancient" jargon: * "No matter how far-fetched the claimant's case" * "You look incredible" * "I'm sorry, darling" * "Here you go, sweetheart" * "...you'reacting like a schoolgirl missing classes to be with her boyfriend." * "I felt so giddy" * "...like a soprano's voice shattering a crystal goblet" * "That old rumor's still circulating?" * "...brushing up on his Hebrew" * "What point was he driving at?" * "Darn!" * "Well, that sort of made sense." * "I was getting very good at nonverbal communication!" While much of the language was modern slang, some of it was just plain stiff: * "I mentally chastised Mother for frightening me with her inopportune absence." * "...his face transformed into that of a seven-year-old boy with impish eyes imploring a playmate to engage in fun antics." * "...he reworded the same query, still making no sense." * "...its music simultaneously discordant and pleasant." She even exclaims, "Jeez!" at some point. Despite the best intentions, this novel didn't transport me to that era or allow me to be in Sheba's head, as good fiction typically does. Perhaps narrative non-fiction would have been a better vehicle for what could have been an interesting story. (Review Data Last Updated: 2008-05-18 07:55:36 EST)

This is a great book covering a very real experience from a more metaphysical perspective. I really appreciate the content and the perspective of this book. Solomon's Angel's is fascinating approach to a very memorable biblical couple.Doreen steps into this fictionalized version of a great piece of history having done a great deal historical review. The words she uses really create a clear sense of time and place.
Thank you for expanding your writing horizons Doreen and in the process giving your readers food for thought. (Review Data Last Updated: 2008-04-08 07:55:44 EST)

I bless Doreen's efforts, however this book was enjoyable in the beginning but left me puzzled and questioning. A spiritural novel with messages true however the story line has some confussion. When the Queen of Sheba is whitnessing a replay of her and Hirams relationship inside the Temple she is faced with her "fear" Solomon later instructs the Archangels to clean the Temple of these lower energies, he also tells Sheba of due unrest with Hirams men, growing amoungst the crowd, as Hiram will not teach anyone his trade this results in his death by his men, surely his men if they were having such strong negative feelings working in and around the Temple these negative vibrations and thought patterns would have been felt as this was such a "powerful special spiritural" place and the people who worked there would have been chosen, as Hiram was for their special abilities, in order to be in the right place to have the privillage to be a part of this amazing Temple's creation. Solomon was aware of it and did nothing!This is not consistent with his character in the story, as he was such a God like Spiritural human being. For me the ending was rather quick, a let down as I think the book came to a quick ending and again the story of Solomon's fall from grace as told by his then grown up son leaves one questioning how could such an enlightened human fall so far from grace as to loose the Holy Grail??? For me, not one of Doreens better stories. I perfer her stories that are apart of her life and teachings.

I found Doreen Virtue's novel "Solomon's Angels" to be a fascinating story...I just couldn't put the book down!
Filled with insight, inspiration, and accurately documented historical information about King Solomon's Temple, as well as the romance between the Queen of Sheba and King Solomon. Great revelations into King Solomon's wisdom and how the Archangels helped hin. What I like most about the book is the romance along with ancient manifestation secrets. Even better when read together with NEXUS a New Age novel about a transformational life journey that contains deep psychological and spiritual wisdom.

Doreen Virtue's book, "Solomon's Angels," is beautiful and magical!
It is written in the first person narration in the character of the Queen of Sheba. This book is about the story of the Queen of Sheba and King of Solomon. This book gives us an insight look at whom the Queen of Sheba is. We get to know about her. We get to know about what she dreams of, and what her desires are. We also get to know about King Solomon and about his wisdom. We also get an inside look in how the Archangels assisted King Solomon throughout the story. This story is beautiful. It is historical. It is also a romantic story. It also has a lot of interesting biblical facts that we can learn from, such as the Ark of Covenant, and so much more...This book promotes the concepts of wisdom, confidence, ancient manifestation secrets, self-acceptance, romance, true love, and connection with the divine. What a beautiful book. The way Doreen writes the book is beautifully done. (Review Data Last Updated: 2008-02-18 08:15:02 EST)
