I have read all nineteen books in the series and loved each one. The author takes events in the Bible and fills in the details using fiction. Peter Danielson did a through job of research and the stories show how such things that happened in the Bible were possible.

My favorite part was when Moses was a young man and Egypitian soldier. Reading about his life made him so real to me. My favorite character was Tatia, a child of the lion and woman armorer. The characters in the books were so well written that I felt like I knew them personally. I recomend this series to anyone who has an intrest in Bible and ancient history as well as anyone who loves a good book.

The Children of the lion series is a great way to get younger people interested in reading. Full of great characters, Biblical and fictional, it traces the lives of Cain's descendents who all have a brilliant talent for metal-working and find themselves interwound into the lives of kings, prophets, warriors and slaves.

I loved these books when I was in middle school and would read them all again now in my mid 20's.

This is the first book in the series and hooked me into reading all of them. Danielson takes the Old Testament stories, sets them in realistic historical settings and makes them come alive. If you like historical fiction, you'll really like these books.

This book was an exceptional overview of Abraham's life period in the Old Testament. The addition of a slave's point of view, a handicapped blacksmith, and the Legendary Child of the Lion portrays an excellent story that will remain in your thoughts for years. I recommend it to everyone, especially those who wish to find out more on the Old Testament of the Bible.

The series is quite rich in characters and lends fictional background to the Bible. I would recommend this series to anyone who has a love of history or someone who is open to ideas of the people in the Bible.
