2004 winner of a Retailer's Choice award from Christian Retailing

In the Old Testament, God called his people to action with the blast of the shofar, a ram's horn. God still calls his people today. In this relevant and timely contemporary novel, dynamic young preacher Paul Hudson is committed to building his church—but at what cost? As Paul's zeal and ambition build, he loses sight of the One who called him. As Paul and those around him struggle to discern what it truly means to live out their faith, they must ultimately choose between their own will or God's plan.

I’ve read this book over and over, and always love it. It’s a wonderful story laced with hard-hitting truth and challenges for my own walk with God. What do I believe? How is that lived out? When I face hardship and challenge, do my beliefs change? When I experience goodness, who do I attribute that to? Why do I live the way I do for God?

4.0 out of 5 stars Realism
Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2015

In my opinion, Francine Rivers's writing tends to cater to a seasoned audience. Hence, my earlier impression of her work had found to be less favorable when the original published novels were issued and read. Originally, what hooked me to this author was one particular novel. Afterwards, upon practically reading every one of her following publications , I had fallen in and out of favor with her writing only to reconnect years later after reading her original Christian publication called "Mark of the Lion" series(WOW!!!-I originally eschewed it due to its historical setting, leaving it forlorn in my list of books to read by her, estimating that I wouldn't connect /appreciate it. Very wrong-Best book series I've alighted to thus far by any author. ) The Holy Spirit layed it on my heart to read after picking it up many times , yet last year, gulped it down. Furthermore, I felt it was time to reacquaint myself with her work again and go forward with the intention to reread her novels. The key, in my opinion, to reading a "good" book is timing and personal life experience. It bonds you to the novel, thus making it a special delight.

Okay, the Book: In rereading this novel, I have never read something that has caused a pyrotechnics of emotions within me. Mainly, the character, Eunice. I became at the end and, alright, I confess, during the novel , that her character was obtuse. In general, she's portrayed as weak and too compliant to the point that her character stood out as her being more fictionalized than an example for that situation. My umbrage in reading this novel lied with how cavalier the author used the pain and severe human cost of well being that is emitted from infidelity. Using Biblical clichés and even having a scene with a pseudo-Jesus/ angel of The Lord appear to Eunice as a grounds keeper for a cemetery, I was flummoxed by the response/ advice portrayed with his words. It was completely incongruous to His Word and his character. That is why Jesus has the reputation that he has. People believe He listens to our prayers, but is "removed " from the issue at hand. Certainly very misleading and that scene that had potential. :-(.

The rest of the novel, I felt, was indeed well written. Realism was threaded within the rest of other story lines in relation to the actual cog's of wheel's of life. Complete from problem to sad, yet eye-opening ending congruent to God's word and character.

Again, the only reason for 4 stars is the gap of realism and consequences within reference to the devastation of Paul's egregious sins, the mess of Shepherding his vulnerable flock and the devastation to his family. The damage accrued was significant and logistically could not be juxtapositioned in the fashion Ms. Rivers's took on with the situation as she concluded. God doesn't give such high accountabilities with just forgiveness. The road afterward she cited for Paul and Eunice had a large oversight: Trust and the difficulty to regain it, if possible. Certainly a keypoint.

Bottom line: The book was certainly worth the time and contained a great deal of wisdom in reference to today's world.
Now, it's time for you to decide. The only waste is the sin and mess/loss of Glory to God.

Please note: This book review of "And the Shofar Blew" was made from the reader's view point and stand under a religious commentary.

I would recommend this book to anyone searching for answers. The answers are not in the book but the roadmap to finding them is. I liked the book very much because it shows that no matter how far we stray there is always a path back if we pray!

If I could give this book more than 5 stars I would. Even though this is a fiction story there is so much truth in the book. I think we sometimes forget what God and Jesus do for in our lives on a daily basis.

This book was beautifully done! Great story, great writing, and I love how much and the way God is spoken about throughout the book. Great values to learn or be reminded of. I became obsessed and couldn’t put it down. Francine Rivers could really write anything and make it such a smooth read with her writing style. I’ve read this and the Lineage book. Both so great I can’t wait to read another of hers.

I could not put this book down. It was awesome and thought provoking. We read this as part of our church book club. I did get frustrated (in a good way) with how Paul treated Eunice but in the end the message was strong - forgive all those who trespass against us. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did

Eine sehr lesenswerte Geschichte mit Tiefgang und sehr hohem Wirklichkeitsbezug. Hier lernt man Menschen im Rampenlicht von der anderen (wirklichen) Seite kennen. Das Buch ist mir sehr viel Einsicht und Detailkenntnissen geschrieben worden. Es ist wie ein Drehbuch von Situationen, die wir auch erlebt haben.

Es ist eine Hilfe, weil es aufdeckt. Wer aber einfach nur eine spannende Geschichte von Menschen in einer Gemeinde lesen möchte ist bestens bedient. Wer tiefer geht, wird merken, dass es einem die Augen auf eine gute Art für wesentliche Realitäten, die oft nicht gesehen werden öffnet.
