Publisher's summary

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.

A joy to read

This entire series has been an absolute Joy. it doesn't take away from the Bible but makes it much more real, unforgettable. A lot of it is quoted directly from the Bible. Many life lessons to learn

Vivid and accurate reminder of our part of Covenant with God

It is amazing how much this story mirrors the current world situation. As said in 2 Chronicles 7:14
If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

The truth of the importance of a foundation is so powerfully chronicled by Lynn Austin.

It is my prayer that the Jewish people of today, and the Gentiles who have been grafted into His Covenant will heed the call to return to the Lord and to His teachings found in the Torah.

The Messiah He sent came to Glorify the Father and spoke His Father's loving instructions.

Wonderful!

As the last book in the trilogy it was excellent. I did get annoyed with the voice of Nava. She was a whiney character. Other than that very good. I think I liked the second book the best, but they were all excellent . They made the Old Testament come to life.

Wonderful way to bring the prophets to life!

I was very excited to find this series made Zechariah, Ezra, and Nehemiah come alive in my imagination. Historical fiction doesn't try to rewrite history, but only to color in the black and white. I am so thankful for the giftedness of this author and narrator. God protects His Word, and helps us know Himself better through it. These ladies serve Him well in taking care to honor Him in this.

Wonderful

Great series. I highly recommend. It brings the scriptures to life in a new way.

Biblical References

I enjoyed the biblical references that were displayed along the storyline, but yet it was in truth.

Has a great plot twist!!

Great lots of facts and information on culture of the day!! Completely enjoyed the listening!

so inspiring.

I loved everything about this series. I can't imagine the research that went into the writing of this. I loved all of it.

The Restoration Chronicles Book 3

I absolutely loved this series!!! Lynn Austin is by far my favorite author. This is a biblical fiction series occurring during the lives of the prophets. This specific book involves Nehemiah.Lynn Austin is able to take the story of Nehemiah and make it so riveting that you can't stop listening. After each book, I went to the scripture and was surprised to find hour incredibly accurate it was. Entertaining and educational. I would recommend reading this in order and if you have not read the Gods and Kings series, then do so before this series. Amazing. You will not be disappointed.
