DESCRIPTION:
"This is an absolutely fabulous biblical novel!" according to Debora Wilder. It is very obvious that Lynn Austin spent a LOT of time studying scripture. She also had to have studied historical records and customs of the time in preparation for writing this wonderful book.This is the second book in what I consider to be a “true” series. By that I m. Brings you to the Real Word Lisa It's a testament to a great author when their readers are sad finishing a book because they want to continue to read about the characters. It's a testament to a great Christian author when their readers turn to the actual word of God by reading their book. I was a huge fan of the Chr. bettyj said Brings history to life. Some people consider 'Biblical Fiction' an oxymoron, but there's nothing better than reading well-researched background to well known historical events. Lynn Austin has obviously 'done her homework' into the customs and cultures of the various ethnic groups, and this brings the story
Fatherhood changes Ezra, and he asks God to make a way for him and the other exiles to leave Babylon for good and return to Jerusalem. When the battles come to an end, Ezra's brother Jude is dead and Ezra is required by the Law he so diligently studies to marry Jude's widow, Devorah, and provide an heir. Ezra, a quiet Jewish scholar and teacher, is suddenly called upon to lead the community as they seek God for a reason for this catastrophe. The Old Testament comes to thrilling life in the latest from Lynn Austin. It calls for the annihilation of every Jewish man, woman, and child throughout the empire on the 13th day of Adar, in less than one year. His prayers are answered and the exiles move to Judea to revitalize worship at the temple - but the fight to keep God's Law is never easy. When a second decree arrives, authorizing them to fight back, Ezra is thrust into the role of military leader as they defend themselves against their enemies. In one life-changing moment, the lives of the Jewish exiles in Babylon are thrown into confusion and despair when a decree arrives from the king's palace in Susa. As more and more of his community are tempted, a new battle emergesthis one for the survival of God's covenant and the souls of His chosen faithful.
