Lynn Austin
A friend of mine introduced me to Lynn Austin about a year ago with “Eve’s Daughters,” and I have been devouring every other book of hers since then, when I have time. Her novels tend to involve the lives of women who cross paths and are forever changed because of it, or young women in search of something, yet find something opposite of what they were searching for. I love how she develops the characters almost instantly, and I am always drawn into the story in the first few pages, wanting to read more.
She writes Christian Fiction novels which I find very entertaining and also encouraging, sometimes inspiring. Some of the characters in the novels have faced such hardships it makes me appreciate the blessings in my life all the more. A few of the novels focus around a historical time such as the World Wars which peaks my interest in history, which as a student was my least favorite subject, so you know she must be a talented author to do so.
The collection of novels I have read by this author include:
* A Proper Pursuit
* Hidden Places
* Eve’s Daughters
* All She Ever Wanted
* Candle in the Darkness (Refiner’s Fire series)
* Fire by Night (Refiner’s Fire series)
* A Light to My Path (Refiner’s Fire series)
I am reading “A Woman’s Place” right now and love it. I’ve been reading almost non stop stop for the past 3 nights. It’s about 4 women from very different walks of life all coming together to make a difference for the war effort, and in doing so, form friendships that transcend their station in life.
Lynn Austin Books Remaining on my list:
Gods and Kings (Chronicles of the Kings series)
Song of Redemption (Chronicles of the Kings series)
The Strength of His Hand (Chronicles of the Kings series)
Faith of My Fathers (Chronicles of the Kings series)
Among the Gods (Chronicles of the Kings series)
Though Waters Roar
Until We Reach Home
I can’t wait to read more books by this author!!!

Promised Land [CD-ROM] Queensryche’s follow-up to the double-platinum Empire is something of an acquired taste, but it’s well worth the effort. There’s considerable variety here; the heavy progressive-rock of “I Am I” and the ballad “Bridge” were hit singles, but there’s also the funk-inflected “Disconnected”, the edgy, spooky “Lady Jane”, and the piano-and-vocals “Someone Else?”. The title track is probably the stronge… |
