Lynn Austin is a former teacher who now writes and speaks full time. She won the 2003 Christy Award for her historical novel Candle in the Darkness, as well as the 2002 Christy Award for Hidden Places. She and her husband have three children and make their home near Chicago, Illinois.
Austin's fascinating, insightful, biblically based fictionalized account of King Hezekiah of Judah brings the Old Testament to life in a way that will take the listener back to those incredibly tumultuous times. She bases her book on the main events in the life of Hezekiah, the prophets Isaiah and Micah, the land of Israel, and the city of Judah. In particular, she relates how the Assyrian army surrounded Hezekiah's kingdom and how his close advisors disagreed with his ideas of governing by divine law; they wanted him to make peace with the atrocious bullies. Austin's descriptive page-turner is rich in history. Read by Suzanne Toren, Song of Redemption is an informative, enlightening, and engaging novel. Recommended for popular historical fiction collections. Carol Stern, Glen Cove P.L., NY Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
