Publisher's summary

The king's sudden death leaves his son Manasseh as the new ruler. Overcome with sorrow, Manasseh is angry toward God and begins a reign of terror that shocks the kingdom. His own insecurity prompts the death of his closest advisors, dividing the faithful in two. Barely escaping the carnage, his best friend Joshua suffers the excruciating loss of his family and plans revenge.

Acclaimed author Lynn Austin has won three Christy Awards for her historical fiction.

I'm not very religious, but still found this book to be very enjoyable. The author was really able to bring the bible story to life. Very good narration.

The bible stories are brought to life!!!!

The biblical stories of the bible have suddenly been brought to life. I love Lynn Austin's lively retelling of the scriptures. In her adaptation, the characters that we have known suddenly become real to us.... Facing adversity, sorrow, pain and love... we are taken on a wonderful journey into the lives of these characters. I highly recommend these series that bring the stories of the bible that we love to life. The narrator, Suzanne Toren, does an excellent job of narrating these stories.

Inspirational

Lynn Austen captures the essence of truth in scripture. She adroitly points out error and its consequences, while pointing out the battle that the faithful must wage.

It was a good story, but the chapters are all wrong. They’re not in order.
