Publisher's summary

Three-time Christy Award winner and best-selling author Lynn Austin pens a fascinating historical novel based on actual Biblical events.

Shortly after the death of King Solomon in 931 B.C., the Promised Land is divided into two separate nations: Israel in the north, and Judah in the south. Hezekiah is the second son of King Ahaz of Judah. As he comes to power, he must navigate a troubled path to reunite his wayward people with Yahweh.

Bible stories brought to life.

Great Bible story! Presented an in depth characterization of these people we read about in 2 Chronicles and 2 Kings. I enjoyed how they came to life for me. I will read / listen to further stories by this author.

I enjoyed it!

I really enjoyed this book, it bought tears to my eyes as I thought and heard the word of God in this book. It revealed God's feeling for his people and how we let life steer us away from God and how easy it is to worship idols. The author really showed God's love for us and how he communes with his people who are faithful to him. Beautiful

A very good book.

I like Lynn Austin books. She researched the subject and makes the fictional characters about a non fiction event. Live to learn and enjoy a good story.

Excellent telling

This was so amazing. I loved learning about Hezekiah and his family and the things that influenced him to eventually become the king that he was. I highly recommend this biblical fiction to both Christians and Jews!

A glimpse into Biblical history.

When God is involved, it's always a good read. Looking forward to the next one.
