Führ du Mich zum Frieden
Als einstiger Jugendfreund von König Manasse ist Josua in Ungnade gefallen. Nun muss er sich und seine Familie in Sicherheit bringen. Ihm bleibt nur die Flucht ins Nachbarland. Und so baut er sich in Ägypten eine neue Existenz auf, zusammen mit Manasses Bruder und einigen Priestern samt deren Familien. Treu wollen die Geflüchteten auch in der Fremde dem Gott ihrer Väter dienen, bis sie eines Tages in ihre Heimat Juda zurückkehren können.
Aber Josua kann das Unrecht, das Manasse seiner Familie angetan hat, nicht vergessen. Im Laufe der Jahre wächst ein unbändiger Hass in seinem Herzen und er sinnt auf Rache. Blind vor Wut trifft er als Anführer unüberlegte Entscheidungen, wodurch er die Menschen, für die er Verantwortung trägt, in Gefahr bringt.
Was muss geschehen, damit sein Herz sich der Liebe Gottes öffnet und Frieden findet? Und wie kann er dazu beitragen, dass Juda zum lebendigen Gott zurückkehrt?
Das atemberaubende Finale der großartigen Bibelromanserie um die Könige Hiskia und Manasse, eng angelehnt an die biblische Vorlage.

About the author
Lynn Austin
70 books6,020 followersFor many years, Lynn Austin nurtured a desire to write but frequent travels and the demands of her growing family postponed her career. When her husband's work took Lynn to Bogota, Colombia, for two years, she used the B.A. she'd earned at Southern Connecticut State University to become a teacher. After returning to the U.S., the Austins moved to Anderson, Indiana, Thunder Bay, Ontario, and later to Winnipeg, Manitoba.
It was during the long Canadian winters at home with her children that Lynn made progress on her dream to write, carving out a few hours of writing time each day while her children napped. Lynn credits her early experience of learning to write amid the chaos of family life for her ability to be a productive writer while making sure her family remains her top priority.
Extended family is also very important to Austin, and it was a lively discussion between Lynn, her mother, grandmother (age 98), and daughter concerning the change in women's roles through the generations that sparked the inspiration for her novel Eve's Daughters.
Along with reading, two of Lynn's lifelong passions are history and archaeology. While researching her Biblical fiction series, Chronicles of the Kings, these two interests led her to pursue graduate studies in Biblical Backgrounds and Archaeology through Southwestern Theological Seminary. She and her son traveled to Israel during the summer of 1989 to take part in an archaeological dig at the ancient city of Timnah. This experience contributed to the inspiration for her novel Wings of Refuge.
Lynn resigned from teaching to write full-time in 1992. Since then she has published 27 novels. Eight of her historical novels, Hidden Places, Candle in the Darkness, Fire by Night, A Proper Pursuit, and Until We Reach Home have won Christy Awards in 2002, 2003, 2004, 2008, and 2009 for excellence in Christian Fiction. Fire by Night was also one of only five inspirational fiction books chosen by Library Journal for their top picks of 2003, and All She Ever Wanted was chosen as one of the five inspirational top picks of 2005. Lynn's novel Hidden Places has been made into a movie for the Hallmark Channel, starring actress Shirley Jones. Ms Jones received a 2006 Emmy Award nomination for her portrayal of Aunt Batty in the film.
