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.

My favorite Biblical series!

For me it is normally hard to follow an audiobook. But I love how this story keeps you wanting to listen to more and more. Lynn Austin is a wonderful author, and I'm looking forward to starting her next series soon. Suzanne Toren was a delight in listening to!

Story Worthwhile Narration Annoying

The story is worth listening to again but the narration was irritating. The persons voice was nice enough, but all of her characterizations sounded like an aged witch. I found it distracting.

Brings Hezekiah to life

This book helped me to understand the spiritual warfare of Biblical times- I enjoyed it very much alongside my study of Kings/Chronicles/ Isaiah

Stunning narration!

I could see/feel th in the emotions of each character. Author has brought these characters to life for me! The narration is the best I've ever heard! She really puts personality into each character!

A glimpse into Biblical history.

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

Powerful Story

My son and I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The story was not only very well written, but it was also well read. We look forward to the next book in this series.
