Jair: God's Shine

by Tiffany Parker, R.C. Matthews (Illustrator)

When strength fades, light remains.Israel is at peace—but peace is fragile.

Jair of Gilead has judged Israel for twenty-two quiet years, not with sword or throne, but with wisdom, memory, and trust in Jehovah. The land prospers. The roads are safe. Thirty sons govern thirty towns, each riding out daily to carry their father’s words of justice and mercy across Havoth Jair.

Yet as Jair’s body weakens, questions rise.

What happens when the judge no longer rides?

What holds a nation together when the man at its center grows old?

As Jair faces the limits of his strength, his sons—especially Reuel, fierce and restless—must confront a deeper Jehovah’s presence was never carried by a man’s stride. God’s shine does not dim with age, nor does His faithfulness depend on human effort.

Told through multiple intimate points of view, God’s Shine is a lyrical work of biblical historical fiction that explores leadership, legacy, and the quiet danger of forgetting God in times of abundance. Rooted in Judges 10:3–5, this novel reimagines a rarely explored judge and reveals a profound truth woven throughout Scripture—
God’s judgment is not punishment. It is love that restores.

This is the seventh book in the Judged in Love series, a collection of deeply human stories told through the eyes of Israel’s judges, revealing the heart of Abba Father behind every calling.

If you love biblical fiction that is reflective, Scripture-anchored, and rich with spiritual depth—continue the journey through the Judges and discover how Jehovah’s light never fades.

About the author

Hello and welcome to the good reads page of romance author - Tiffany Parker.

I was born and raised in the chilly Midwest, and spent much of my childhood and adolescences with my head stuck in a book. Reading has always been one of my favorite past times. The only thing more pleasurable than reading a book is spinning my own tales of intricate, sensual and erotic romance. I made the decision to write romance and relationship very early in my career because; I have always found intrigue in the complicated world of relationships.

I adopted the persona of, “The Urban Romance Author”, because I feel that my romances deal with real life and real issues prevalent in today's relationships. Of course I write the sweet and good relationship sagas but I pen the gritty, complicated, and yes, sometimes-hurtful relationship stories as well.

I myself met and married my husband Laville at a very early age. We have spent thirty-four years together and now reside in Atlanta, GA., with our children.

I was published for several years with two different publishers but in 2015 I was blessed to become a self published author. I have re-released my books, My Best Friend's Sister, Serena, Barriers of Trust, and Eye Kandee and I released one novella Erotic Confessions.

Shortly after I became self published I had a number of set backs and stepped away from writing and publishing for a number of years. Well it's 2021 and I'm back and ready to release new books for your reading pleasure.

I will also start back interacting with readers and other authors on my Facebook and other social media pages.

Happy reading to all my readers and happy writing to all my fellow authors.

Your "Urban Romance Author"
