Gods and Kings

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Powerful and Spiritually Uplifting – A Must-Read Series!Gods and Kings by Lynn Austin is a beautifully written and deeply moving book that brings the Old Testament to life in a way that is both accessible and emotionally powerful. From the very first chapter, I was drawn into the world of King Hezekiah, a man torn between the darkness of his heritage and the calling of a faithful God.Lynn Austin does a masterful job of blending biblical history with rich character development, making the story feel incredibly human and relatable. She doesn’t shy away from the pain, confusion, and inner conflict of her characters, which makes their spiritual journeys all the more inspiring.This book—and the entire Chronicles of the Kings series—is not just about ancient history; it’s about faith, redemption, courage, and hope. It challenged me to think about the idols in my own life and encouraged me to trust God more deeply, even when the path is uncertain.If you're looking for a faith-filled historical fiction that is both educational and heart-stirring, this book is a must-read. I highly recommend Gods and Kings to anyone who enjoys biblical fiction or simply wants to be inspired by a story of transformation and God's unwavering grace.

Lynn Austin brings scripture to life with her rich storytelling and her in-depth study of Biblical history! It is a must-read if you enjoy historical fiction!

Pros: I loved this story and at one point stayed up until 1:00 am to see what happens. I was uplifted by the scriptures and saddened by the history and choices of the people. I had to get my Bible out and compare!Cons: Over-told in places and a couple of plot lines just sort of disappear. The editor should have helped out with this. However, I spent years editing novels and have a very critical eye - most people may not feel this way. It was a little slow in the middle, but worth it in my opinion to get to the end.

Fantastic book and skilled author. This will get you hooked and asking for more books in the series. The book came clean, new condition.

Absorbing, thrilling, emotional, thought provoking, on base with scripture. I got this first book because it was free. I have since purchased all her other books in this series and am presently on Book #3. I have to pace myself in reading or I will be through them all very soon. These books hold your interest, gather your imagination to the forefront and then brings you to reading the actual story in the Bible.I am so impressed with the accuracy in her writing, truly a talent. She has brought these stories to us through her thought s and ideas but I feel she was really inspired in her writing.I am a fan from the very beginning. Having read some of her other books, I find the Gods and Kings to be the best yet and there are so many more to go.In my humble opinion, if you like good clean books to read with intrigue, love, hate, terror, sweetness and reality, get her books. You will not be sorry. I read them at night when all is quiet and I can really get into the story, then next thing I know it is well past midnight. So very glad I got this series and this is one that I will read and re-read again.Love the story and the talent of this lovely author, Lynn Austin. Thank you for bringing this beautiful story to us.

Great book, I love how the characters were brought to life! I can’t wait to read the whole series! I’m happy to share this read with friends and family that are also enjoying it, we’re hooked.

This book is very well written and teaches about the one true God in a story format. This is a very engaging read. I throughly enjoyed it!

I am so uplifted and inspired after reading this. What I’ve been reading lately has been fine and good. This though..... has been SO EXCITING to read! I have never read Chronicles before. So I didn’t know any part of the story. And WOW!!!The knowledge that this STORY is rooted in scripture, allowed me to imagine what the actual people may have gone through, and made it that much more Rich. This type of imagining is so good for prayer life, in which mine has been utterly lacking, to the point of almost non existence.MY Soul has been comforted and convicted in a deep way. I didn’t know how badly I needed to hear of the comfort and assurance of Yahweh’s covenant and his love and desire to forgive.... even if everything still sucks on the outside, His Peace can free us, comfort us in a Real way. Also, now, the conviction I feel for not being as wishy washy as I have been in my faith brings me a since of .... Hope. I feel the Light of Hope starting to warm my soul and psyche, what a Blessing!Will be downloading the rest of this series pronto!!!
