I enjoyed this book because it was a story from the Bible embellished by the author. It was entertaining and easy to read. Not a heavy tome. It seems a good way to learn more stories from the Bible. Sometimes the Old Testament is hard to get through and the simplicity of the text in the book make it more intriguing.
In my opinion, most religious fiction is not very good as everyone is just too nice or the scenes just aren't realistic as it's not "Christian" to write about how people really are. Lynn Austin, on the other hand, does a really nice job of fictionalizing a brief passage of the Bible into a full-length novel, and gets you into the heads of the characters. The imagery and scenery are very realistic and, for example, I could imagine me walking the dusty streets of the Middle Ages. The thing that struck me the most was this book really got me thinking and getting more out of the story than a random section of the 28th chapter of the book of Second Chronicles and makes me want to read the next one in the series: with the volume of books I read on a monthly basis, having one stick with me and recalling various sections of the book long after I read it (about a month ago) is, to me, impressive and tells me this was really a good book.I initially got this book during a Kindle free promotion and, as I write this review, the price is now $5.38 in the Amazon Kindle store - you will certainly get a lot more than $5.38 in entertainment value if you get this one!
I have found a new favorite author! I really enjoyed reading this book and can't wait to get started on the next! While this is still fiction, it's still based on the actual Bible story, so if you have trouble keeping everything in line of who's who in the Bible, this will help! It also made me realize that they went through similar conflicts and struggle as we do today.It can be hard to find good books on Amazon at times, this one is well worth the read.
Often time reading the Old Testament it is hard to piece everything together. Lynn Austin does a fantastic job of weaving the biblical text from the account of the kings and the prophets along with Jewish traditions that brings it to life.My only complaint would be her use of Yahweh. I understand her reasoning to differentiate the One True God from all the other gods, but for Orthodox Jews that is a sacred name of God. It was the very personal name of God given to Moses (translated as I AM in most English versions of the Bible). Jews only spoke that name 1 time a year during Yom Kippur and even then only by the high priest while praying in the Temple in the Holiest of Holies. I wish she had chosen from El ("God"), Eloah ("God"), Elohim ("Gods"), Shaddai ("God Almighty"), Ehyeh, and Tzevaot ("[of] Hosts") instead to refer to God.That one issue aside, I found this to be very entertaining and enriched my understanding of how those historical events unfolded and how it may have impacted those who walked through it.
Lynn Austin has written some of the best Bible-historical novels I've seen. My entire family - husband and all our grown kids -read this series, one after the other. "Are you almost finished with that one? I can't wait to get into it!". I learned more about the Old Testament during this period from this series than in all my 35 years as a serious Bible-reading Christian. It's eye-opening on so many levels that it functions as a sort of devotional as well - I was able to identify areas in my own life that needed improvement, became more aware of things to avoid in my own life, and was, again and again, impressed by God's amazing involvement in the lives of individuals, all throughout history, as well as in my own. I would think a complete atheist would enjoy these too, if they like historically accurate dramas that include intense relationships, terrible adversity, romance (not at all overt, but beautifully portrayed) and an overall uplifting story. Give me ten starts and I'll click all ten of them for this series. Most libraries have them, too!
‘Hear, O Israel! Yahweh is God—Yahweh alone!’ These words of the Shema state the theme of this book. We follow the life of Hezekiah from childhood to the early years of his Kingship in ancient Judah. This book based upon the Old Testament accounts rivets the reader and brings the Biblical story to life. This is the second time I've read this book, but love it more than ever. Definitely five stars!
When you compare the Bible and this book, it is like you are right there with them at the same time. It is so nice to think about what they could have been thinking or feeling so many years ago. This book makes all of them so human but still I can't wait to see some of them in Heaven. Wow! When I put the book down, I find myself reading it over and over again because it is such a fascinating read from beginning to end. But, I have to go on to see what Hezekiah does next, as king. God is Good. Well written.
This book is full of action. It has the political intrigue of ancient times. As a Christian it's the Bible coming to life. This book will grab your interest even on a secular level. I've been a Lynn Austin fan for years but never have ventured into her Bible based books. What a mistake! I am hooked and fear hitting the end of this series! The best book I've read in a long time. I live the fact that it's nearly from the pages of my Bible, but don't think that means it's tame! Gotta run ..... off to buy book #2!
Though Austin has to fill in details the Bible leaves out (and gives background to characters not disclosed in the Bible), this story does take the reader back in time. I found it fascinating how Austin reveals the rationalization leaders took in their journeys of compromise towards idolatry. This book isn't just the story of King Ahaz but of his sons, wife, relatives, advisors facing fear, Assyrians and other enemies, submission, heartache, hope and resolve. I truly recommend this book with no compensation but the enjoyment I received by reading Gods and Kings.
