About the Book
Bestselling author Robert Whitlow explores the meaning of family and home---and how faith forms the identity of both---in this breathtaking sequel to Chosen People.Book Synopsis
Bestselling author Robert Whitlow explores the meaning of family and home--and how faith forms the identity of both--in this breathtaking sequel to Chosen People.
Despite their Israeli citizenship, Hana and Daud cannot safely return to their homeland because a dangerous terrorist ring is threatening Daud. Hana is perfectly fine remaining in the United States, working for a law firm in Atlanta, especially when she learns she's pregnant. But Daud can't shake the draw to return home to Israel, even if it makes him a walking target.
Hana is helping her boss plan a huge summit in Atlanta when Jakob Brodsky, her old friend and former co-litigator, asks for her help with a case. His client is attempting to recover ancient artifacts stolen from his Jewish great-grandfather at the end of World War II. Because the case crosses several national borders, he needs Hana's knowledge and skill to get to the bottom of what happened to these precious artifacts.
Meanwhile, Daud is called in to help a US intelligence agency extract a Ukrainian doctor from a dangerous situation in Egypt. While overseas, he can't resist the call of Jerusalem and thus sets off a series of events that puts thousands of people in danger, including his wife and unborn child.
With historical mysteries, religious intrigue, and political danger, Promised Land asks one momentous question: What if your calling puts you--and your family--in the crosshairs?
Praise for Promised Land:
"Promised Land is a book about coming home. Of becoming settled in your spirit and your relationships. With layers of intensity, thanks to international intrigue, moments of legal wrangling, and pages of sweet relationships, this book is rich and complex. A wonderful read." --Cara Putman, author of Flight Risk

"Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: May those who love you be secure."
Hana Abboud Hasan and her new husband Daud love Jerusalem with all their heart, but for their own safety, their roots are deepening in the United States, where Hana can continue practicing law in Atlanta, Georgia and Daud can build his international consulting business. Daud's past involvement in the upper echelon of Israeli intelligence has put a price on his head and when a covert operation compromises his identity, the bounty rises yet again. How can he manage to keep his lovely wife and unborn child safe, without compromising their mutual dream of returning to the promised land?
Simply put, I love these characters. Perhaps I love the characters more than the story, for there were places in this book when the scenes paled in comparison to the players on the stage. Hana and Daud are extraordinary; their walk with the Spirit is powerful and the freedom they find in the future is everlasting.
"Never will I leave you nor forsake you; the Lord your God is your strength and shield; the name of the Lord is a strong tower; no weapon formed against you shall prosper . . . "
Great religious and historical intrigue

Promised Land is the second book in the legal thriller series, Chosen People, by Robert Whitlow. Having enjoyed reading this best-selling author's work for many years, I was looking forward to reading this newest release and was not disappointed. Even though Promised Land is second in a series, there is enough background given throughout the book that it can easily be read as a stand-alone story. Readers find Daud and Hana, Israeli Arabs, are now living in the United States and are working through their life as newlyweds. This multifaceted story is well written as Whitlow is an expert in writing legal fiction with action, intrigue, and twists to the plot that increase the suspense and keep a reader's interest high. With descriptive prose regarding Middle Eastern culture, customs, and cuisine, the reader is easily transported into the scenes of the book. I enjoyed how Hana's faith in God is portrayed as a very personal and transformative belief in a God who cares about and guides His children. As she and Daud think about the future and where their 'promised land' might be, will she recognize that sometimes that promised land of peace is a place within and not one of geography? I thoroughly enjoyed the story of the characters in the book--friends, family, colleagues, and even Leon, the dog. I am hoping there is more to come in this series.

Promised Land by Robert Whitlow is the second book in his Chosen People series. This is the continuing story of Hana and Daud. They now live in the United States because a terrorist group has their sites on Daud if he returns to Israel. Hana is helping her boss plan a conference on the Middle East. Daud is again enlisted to help the CIA extract a doctor from Egypt all kinds of things explode. Putting thousands of peoples lives at risk, including Hana’s and their unborn child. This story started out a little slow for me. And with the way things have always been between Israel and her neighbors you kind of had an idea what was going to happen. That being said, I think Whitlow did a great job with the story. The interaction was believable, the characters weren’t superheroes and the historical information wasn’t overwhelming. I really enjoyed it. If there is to be another book in the series I would definitely read it.
I received this book Celebrate-Lit for my honest review.

Although this is the second book in The Chosen People Novels I was able to read it as a stand-alone and follow what had happened to Hana and Daud in the previous installment. I found it fascinating to read about a different culture adapting to life in the United States including foods they eat. I loved the concept of the story and the dangerous situations they became involved in. You will travel from Georgia to the Middle East and experience the landscape, housing, cuisine, friendships, and family, as well as the evilness of jihad. My only problem with this book is I personally felt disconnected from the characters....like I was on the outside looking in instead of being drawn into their lives. I loved that Hana spent time in the middle of the night reading scriptures and praying and felt we should all be as devoted as she was. I enjoyed the addition of Leon, the dog, and the child, Sadie. Their interactions with Hana made her more real. I enjoyed the book and the pacing of it.

Rahal Abaza sat motionless in front of the panoramic view of the Persian Gulf. - Opening line of “Promised Land” by Robert Whitlow
This is my first experience with a Robert Whitlow novel and Promised Land is a fascinating journey! It is the second in a series but I didn’t feel I was missing anything in starting with this one. Crossing back and forth between the Middle East and America, the story follows lawyer Hana and her husband Daud, a highly trained agent as they work to unravel the mystery surrounding them.
Hana sets out to determine the authenticity and ownership of a historical artefact bringing up an interesting debate around these significant objects which have been taken in war from their home countries and original owners.
Daud is given a mission to protect a doctor whilst transporting him into protective custody. In the process, he is identified by the terrorists coming after him and his family. It sets off a chain reaction which is explored for the rest of the book. During this adventure, Robert highlights key elements of the lifestyle of the Middle East and it’s culture which I found fascinating.
I thoroughly enjoyed the book, it’s not fast-paced but intriguing and complex. For the animal lover, the lovely dog in the story, Adam, is fine for the whole book…with terrorists on the loose, I worried the entire time! It’s a four out of five on the enJOYment scale, if you enjoy a legal drama, this is one for you!
