You can never go wrong picking up a Lynn Austin book. She returns to her love of Biblical fiction with Return to Me, book #1 in the Restoration Chronicles series. To go along side of it you can read Pilgrimage, which is a non-fiction story of her visit to Israel and her spiritual journey during that time.
Iddo has been waiting to return to Jerusalem. He knows the all the prophets have said that God has said that he will return them home after 80 years. He believes Him, but his hope is a bit strained, he sons don't believe and for his wife, Babylon is home, she was born her and knows know different. How can he continue to believe until he starts instructing his grandson, Zechariah and they work together to bring the country of Israel home.
I like stories that can flesh out stories that I have read all my life. Biblical fiction reminds me that all those written about in the Bible are real people that lived and died, had hopes and dreams and were doing (sometimes) what they thought was right. Lynn has a way of making those characters so very real and that helps those Bible stories come to life.Happy Reading.
