My Father's God A Novel

Beacon Hill Press of Kansas City is pleased to announce the July release of My Father's God, the fourth book in Lynn Austin's award-winning Chronicles of the King Series. Biblically based on verses from Kings, Chronicles and Isaiah, young King Manasseh has been appointed to the throne after his father's sudden death. Reared with his best friend, Joshua, and instructed in the beliefs of their fathers, the young men's lives are forever changed one fateful night, pitting them against one another and transforming the friends into mortal enemies. As Manasseh slides deeper into the dark world of pagan rituals and ancient evil, Joshua comes close to abandoning his hope and faith in the God of his fathers. Weaving a complex novel of suspense, action, inspiration, and God's enduring grace, Austin brings a new level to Biblical fiction. She challenges the reader with intelligent writing and by creating real, often fallible characters.
