Customer Reviews

Brings the Bible to Life

I hope Lynn will write more like the Chronicles of the Kings. Her writing brings the people in the Bible to life. These and the Restoration Series could be read as a family book.

Faith of My Fathers

Lynn Austin is a wonderful writer who has been able to bring the history of the Bible to life while maintaining true to historical fact. It is amazing how you can visualize the trials and events that shaped the lives of these people from so long ago.

historically awesome series

ms austin is the first female author i,ve ever read, but after reading this series on the kings of judah it's completely opened my mind to all writers;the only regret is she didn't continue on with more books in the series.

My Father's God

I love this series! Lynn Austin has a very good writing style that captures and holds your attention immediately. I look foward to reading book 5 and would reccommend everyone read these books.

My Father's God

This is the first Lynn Austin novel I have read. I took it on vacation and could not put it down, reading into the wee hours of the night. Now that I finished, I want to read the others in the series but have found that many are no longer available. This book was a great picture of how when we allow small sin into our lives, we become hardened and the bigger sins don't seem as big anymore. It really brought the biblical story to life in an interesting way for me. It was interesting also to see how one can twist scripture to decieve someone into believing God approved of child sacrifice, and temple ladies. I'd recommend the book to all.

On my third set . . .

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.
