That said, I highly, highly recommend all of Lynn Austin’s Biblical fiction, particularly her series on King Hezekiah (Chronicles of the Kings). Of course authors must take creative liberties when writing historical or Biblical fiction, but I appreciate it when authors do so in ways that strengthen the story. Personally, I enjoy reading Biblical fiction that is well-researched and sticks closely to the original story. So if you are getting tired of reading the Bible, may the stories below re-light your interest as well. I mean, having the power of Biblical stories brought to life by creative writers with often phenomenal research and description talents? Not only did many Biblical fiction books give me a greater sense of the context of Bible events, they also inspired me to pick up my Bible and re-read the old stories from a new perspective.

When I discovered that there were authors out there who expanded these retellings into entire book-length novels, I was hooked. Not because there aren’t great stories and lessons (and far more than that) in there, but because I’ve heard the stories a few too many times, and in the same way.
