On This Foundation

The Restoration Chronicles, Book 3

By: Lynn Austin

Narrated by: Suzanne Toren

The Powerful Concluding Novel to The Restoration Chronicles

When news that the wall of Jerusalem is broken down and its gates have been burned with fire, Nehemiah, Jewish cupbearer to King Artaxerxes in Persia, seeks God's guidance. After fasting and prayer, he's given leave to travel to Jerusalem and rebuild the city wall, not anticipating all the dangers that await him on his arrival. The leaders of the surrounding nations become his fierce enemies, plotting to assassinate him and halt the work. A drought, meanwhile, has left the country impoverished, many families resorting to selling their children as bondservants just to keep from starving.

Capturing the rebuilding of the wall through the eyes of a number of characters, On This Foundation is a powerful exploration of faith in the midst of oppression and hope that, in spite of appearances, the gracious hand of God is upon those who believe.

Dynamic Series

Lynn Austin has such a gift for biblical historical fiction. It brings Gods word alive. He characters have depth and always surprise you.

Great Read

The story of Israel's spiritual and historical struggle to exist as a people and as a nation is intriguing.Nehemiah is a prophet that most people don't know. His vital part in raising the walls from the ashes of the Persian and Babylonians wars is well developed.

Worth the time

These books bring me closer to God. I can imagine the Bible. It lives now!

Best one of the series

It’s taking me a little while to get back to this series, but I’m so glad I did because this book is the best one of the series and it has encouraged me to go back to my Bible and read the scripture. I loved the part when I found out who the main character really was.

Excellent

This was not just entertainment. It was a reminder of who God is and how perceptions of Him differ based on our experiences. I was constantly reminded of His goodness. Great series!!

Wholesome and Based on the Biblical Account

This book was entertaining, and it made me curious to reread Nehemiah again. I do love how Lynn Austin develops her characters so that every major character experiences growth. I wouldn’t call this a deep book or a literary work of art, but it has deep truth woven into the story. The book brings to life characters that could have been living in that time of the Bible, and it made it more fun to read the actual biblical account and have more to think about what it would have been like at that time.

Great Book!

I loved this book! The author had done her homework, the story was true to biblical account. These books always make me want to open the Bible and dig in to the story there.
