The fifth book of multiple Christy Award winner Lynn Austin’s Chronicles of the Kings series, Among the Gods is a stirring tale of faith and forgiveness. The sweeping, biblical epic resumes immediately after Faith of My Fathers’ turbulent ending.
While leading the exiled faithful into Egypt, Joshua’s yearning for revenge against the tyrannical King Manasseh smolders into an obsession—his wrath contained solely by a simple yet courageous servant girl’s love. After every attempt at exacting retribution fails, Joshua struggles to renounce his hatred and accept that God’s plan is for mercy, not vengeance. Thus the redemption of Manasseh, impossible though it may seem, is exactly what God intends—and will not be fulfilled without Joshua’s clemency.
Austin’s sublime gift for bringing sacred scripture to life, elaborating upon historical detail with remarkable depth and ingenuity, shines forth in Among the Gods.

"Great series as Lynn Austin once again teaches through her writing the love of the Lord and how he teaches us through our experiences in life. This book of the series is the most speculative as far as historical accuracy, but still a very worth while read. " — Lori (4 out of 5 stars)

“[An] interesting, fast-moving tale of redemption, forgiveness, love, faithfulness, and nurturing.”
" I really enjoyed this series, but the last book dragged a little. Some things that were in this last book seemed repetetive and drawn out just to make the story longer! It was interesting to go back in the Bible and actually read in Corinthians what happened. I thought Lynn Austin did a good job telling the story from King Ahaz to Mannaseh! "
