Summary: "Gods and Kinga"

We are currently studying 1&2 Kings in our Bible Study. I bought this book for a friend for Christmas and she has already finished it and passed it on to me. I started it and have trouble putting it down. It gives an added dimension to what we are studying.

Summary: "MY FAVORITE SERIES EVER!"

I'm a former MK(missionaries kid), have been a fundamental Christian for more than 40 years, a preacher's wife, and an avid reader of Christian fiction.

This is my favorite series ever. I first checked it out from the Library and now have bought the first book twice to give to others. It is as close to historically and Biblically correct as any books that are based on Biblical characters. These are not romances, though they have love and relationships in them. The books are informative and entertaining, and just the right length. Austin is a gifted writer!

I was sent to my Bible time after time to check and make sure that what was written was Biblically accurate, and it was! I learned so much about myself through this series! Though I want to own them all for myself, I keep giving them away to others. MY FAVORITE SERIES EVER!

Summary: "Gods and Kings (Chronicles of a King) 1"

A very good book. An interesting story on history of The Kings of Judah. Enjoy "fleshing out" what I read in the Bible.

Summary: "Fantastic."

I read this series at the same time that I read the book of Isaiah. It was fantastically written. Keeping in mind that this is a work of fiction, the author did quote and follow the biblical time line and her story telling helped take me back in time and imagine what it may have been like in these ancient times.
