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

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 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!

This is the best, the book brings the old testament to life, you can see, smell, and feel what it is like to be there in ancient times. I could not put this book down, and looked forward to each new addition to the series.

I love this series so much that I have had to replace the entire set three times. I lend them out and they disappear!

These are by far the finest novels that Ms. Austin has written. I was drawn into the story, and I just couldn't put the books down. Ms. Austin provides Scriptural references so it is easy to see what she is basing her story on. After reading the Scriptures, elements in the story that are taken right out of the Bible are easily discerned from those that the writer may be taking an artist license with. It breathed life into these characters and made them very relevant to me.

I immediately began reading the remaining books in the series, and every one was a delight. I enthusiastically recommend the series.

What a great series! I have been on information overload lately and needing something "light" to read without being too fluffy. Ms. Austin writes in a manner drew me in to her story -- I couldn't put it down. But she also provides Scriptural references in the Bible so you can see what she is basing her story on. After reading the Scriptures, it is easy to identify the elements in the story that are taken right out of the Bible and those that the writer is imagining how it might have been. It breathed life into these characters and made them very relevant to me in 2000.

I immediately began reading the second in the series and quickly finished it. I will soon finish the third. I enthusiastically recommend the series.
