This review is from: The Lord Is My Strength: A Novel (Chronicles of the King; Bk. 1) (Paperback)

I just want to say that I am enjoying this series so much, Her characters are so real. Their stories will have you searching into the Bible to check it out. The first book was the hardest to get into and it is excellent! This is a series well worth starting

4.0 out of 5 stars Incredible insite for today from an historical perspective, March 20, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: The Lord Is My Strength: A Novel (Chronicles of the King; Bk. 1) (Paperback)

This story starts with the sacrifice of Ahaz's son to Molech, and the action continues. Never has the life of Hezekiah been so clearfully depicted. The lessons learned by Hezekiah and his associates are so applicable to today's lifestyles, emphasizing where we are going with our lack of moral fibre. This is a must read for those who think they know the old testament and an eyeopener for those who have never read the Bible. Don't miss the other books in this series! Once you start, you have to read all three! Lynn Austin has truly written a book from the heart and from experience. Her research into her topic is obvious and her love of the Lord is exemplified by her books! Check out her new non-biblical Christian fiction book called "Fly Away". If you don't love the characters, you will love the timely topic

This review is from: The Lord is My Strength (Chronicles of the King #1) (Paperback)

This is one of the best Christian fiction novels I've ever read. I found it suspenseful, enlightening, and full of realistic, tension-creating emotion. I am very familiar with the Bible and have been a Christian all my life, and yet I learned a lot about Old Testament from reading this book. I've also spoken with the author and she is a truly wonderful person. You won't regret purchasing this book!
