This ebook is amazing! The author has certainly done her research in the Bible in order to write as accurately as she does concerning the characters! I was very impressed

What a wonderful piece writing this book is! I could actually pick up my bible and follow along with the book on poor Hezekiah's life. I have never ever been able to to that with any other historical fiction book. There is just the right amount of creative license from the author to make it believable, but not to much to distract it from the story. I just can't say enough great things about this book. Truly a great read.

I got this books for free. I immediately bought the next 2 installments. Great books. I was encouraged & motivated to study the bible more. Lynn Austin has been added to my list of favourite authors. If you like Francine Rivers, you will love Lynn Austin.
I really appreciate the effort and time that went into the biblical research and history. I rate this book 5/5

Straight out of the Bible with a few decorations! It kept me on the edge of my seat to see what would happen next. Thanks for making this a free e-book. Would love to have the others in this series free also.

This book is an action-packed work of historical fiction. It really puts you there with the characters, & helps you to imagine what it really may have been like to live during the times of the kings of that era.

This was an incredibly personalized view into the life of King Hezekiah during his formative years. The dramatic pictures of the lives and times of ancient Judah draw the reader in to the uncertainty of being a son of a selfish, worldy King who has defiantly turned his back on God. I look forward to reading other works by this author, who so vividly brings history to life.

I already had read this book in Dutch. It's such a beautiful story. If you reread the story in the Bible....you'll know so much more of the history behind the story!

The book and software was very easy to download. I enjoyed the book immensely. It has challenged me to go back and read the account in scripture. Would highly recommend.
