I loved this whole series. It made me go to the Bible to read the book of Kings. Though fictional, biblical history came alive.
This entire serious is outstanding and transport you into history.
This entire series is a must own. I LOVED it. It did amazing things for my personal faith in God.
This book took a little bit to get into but once I did I really enjoyed it. There were parts of this story that were really hard to read, like child sacrifice, but it was a part of that time period. My favorite part of biblical fiction is that it helps bring the characters of the bible to life a bit more. Obviously this is a fictionalized version …
Loved this
Even though some of the characters are fictional they are all based on the Old Testament scripture. It really help me understand a little better on what the hardship of the individuals going through trials because nations turned away from God.
Your writing really brought an Old Testament king to life. I plan to read more of your books!
it made the old testament come alive
It brought ancient biblical times to life for me and helped me understand the people and times better. I enjoyed the writing style and I read the book quickly
This series is a must read! This is no doubt one of Lynn Austin’s finest works! It brings the Biblical history of the Old Testament Kings to life with clarity and understanding while weaving it into a story one cannot put down. If you are looking for a way to bring Bible characters to life, you’ll want to read this book as well as the others …
Loved it and recommend it.
An original story founded from a real story
I really enjoyed this book and struggled to put it down. It put an interesting perspective on how life would’ve looked like in BC. Also puts into perspective why God’s people turned to idols, following their kings and the power the kings had. I really like the development of the characters and potentially why they became who they were. …
All of Lynn Austin’s books are enjoyable and easy to read books.
Loved it!
