Return to Me

By Lynn Austin

Book Overview

Bestselling Author Lynn Austin Launches New Biblical Saga

After years of watching his children and grandchildren wander from their faith, Iddo's prayers are answered: King Cyrus is allowing God's chosen people to return to Jerusalem. Jubilant, he joyfully prepares for their departure, only to learn that his family, grown comfortable in the pagan culture of Babylon, wants to remain.

Zechariah, Iddo's oldest grandson, feels torn between his grandfather's ancient beliefs and the comfort and success his father enjoys in Babylon. But he soon begins to hear the voice of God, encouraging him to return to the land given to his forefathers.

Bringing to life the biblical books of Ezra and Nehemiah, Return to Me tells the compelling story of Iddo and Zechariah, the women who love them, and the faithful followers who struggle to rebuild their lives in obedience to the God who beckons them home.

Customer Reviews

Put me in the times

Like another reviewer, I found this book brought the bible characters to life. This story is one of emotion and the book is good at bringing it out.

Really a Bible study

Brought Bible characters to life

Made the historical events more interesting

Just had finished studying Dan and Nehamiah and this book captured the time period very well and made history feel personal. As someone who is Jewish, I had to sift through the dialogue that was definitely aimed at a Christian audience. It was so well written, I couldn't put it down. The character development was good
