Summary
Summary
Fleeing King Manasseh's tyranny, Joshua leads the faithful remnant to their new home in Egypt. But as years pass, Joshua's desire for vengeance becomes an obsession. Blinded by hatred, he makes rash decisions, placing his loved ones in jeopardy.
Amid Joshua's turmoil comes an unexpected awakening of love--a love that burns so intensely it draws him from the dark inner seclusion where he often retreats. But what will it take for him to grasp the great love his Heavenly Father has for him...and for the chosen people of Judah?
(Chronicles of the King Book 5)

Library Journal Review
Austin's fifth and final book in the "Chronicles of the Kings" series, set during the time in Israel's history when King Manasseh ruled, runs the gamut: action, adventure, family saga, honoring God's worship, wisdom, and control. During his dictatorship, Manasseh maliciously murders many in his community who oppose him, offers his newborn son as a sacrifice, and forces his brother Prince Amariah, with whom he is at odds, into exile. Joshua, based on the biblical character, is the son of a man killed by Manasseh because he disagreed with the ruler's practices. Joshua escapes Manasseh and leads his supporters to a new home in Egypt. His desire for revenge becomes an obsession and makes killing Manasseh Joshua's lifelong ambition. Here, Austin tells another interesting, fast-moving tale of redemption, forgiveness, love, faithfulness, and nurturing. Narrated by Suzanne Toren, Among the Gods is recommended for libraries who want to complete the series.-Carol Stern, Glen Cove P.L., NY (c) Copyright 2010.
