About this listen

The Powerful Concluding Novel to The Restoration Chronicles

When news that the wall of Jerusalem is broken down and its gates have been burned with fire, Nehemiah, Jewish cupbearer to King Artaxerxes in Persia, seeks God's guidance. After fasting and prayer, he's given leave to travel to Jerusalem and rebuild the city wall, not anticipating all the dangers that await him on his arrival. The leaders of the surrounding nations become his fierce enemies, plotting to assassinate him and halt the work. A drought, meanwhile, has left the country impoverished, many families resorting to selling their children as bondservants just to keep from starving.

Capturing the rebuilding of the wall through the eyes of a number of characters, On This Foundation is a powerful exploration of faith in the midst of oppression and hope that, in spite of appearances, the gracious hand of God is upon those who believe.

Suzanne Toren has done really well in narrating this novel (and the others of this series). I was a little concerned that I may need the written version to keep track of the characters (and their names) but the author made them sufficiently different from each other that this wasn't an issue.
Thanks to Lynn Austin for making a real story from the scriptures. Such works bring the Old Testament to life. While there is connection with the others in this series, I think that this could also be read as a stand-alone.

A Great Story, Well Read

I loved these books. They are, in my view, a brilliant use of Scriptural truth and fictional imagery to make a whole. The narration is very good, and done in the professional way of keeping charachters separate by voice alone. I'm very impressed and grateful for the books.

Brilliant
