Book 1 of Chronicles of the Kings.. When his evil father plots to sacrifice him, Hezekiah’s mother, Abijah, searches frantically for a way to save him
"One of the Better Christian Fiction Books" according to Michael Gallagher. 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 characte. "One of the best books ever!!" according to chantal. One of best book series I've read. If fact, my entire family is reading the series and we are all enjoying it, from my teenage daughter to my husband. It relays the story of King Hezekiah in a gripping way. It will draw you in and leaving you wanting to read the next book as well as your Bible and it will challenge your own faith in God.. Easy Way to Understand Julie Abbott This was a modernized story of the biblical story of King Ahaz and his son King Hezekiah. It gave a good picture of the horrors of a people who chose to worship created gods. It helped me understand the Old Testament story better.
