Wings of Refuge

De: Lynn Austin

Narrado por: Romy Nordlinger

A powerful story set against the backdrop of today's Israel.

Nothing in Abigail MacLeod's life as a wife, a mother, and a teacher has prepared her for what she will experience during her summer in Israel. At 42, her life is in chaos, even before she leaves home - her marriage is dissolving before her very eyes, and her faith is in shambles. This pilgrimage to Israel was supposed to be a new beginning for her. But by the end of the first day, she is forced to board an Israeli jetliner in spite of a bomb threat and watches helplessly as a kind, fatherly gentleman she befriended on the plane dies in her arms.

This is a summer Abby will spend learning about archaeology, delving into the past. And it's a summer that will change her life in ways she never imagined.

excellent read

, I've always had mixed feelings about Lynn Austin's book but this one was fantastic I love the amount of History and how she leaves it in through the story the narrator was great and just can't say enough about how well this book is written and and narrated

Amazing Story

Loved the way this book took you from one time era to another. It was so smooth and easy to follow. This book was so engaging and gave me a new perspective.

Christian values, no swearing , no sexual content

Like learning about Jewish Life and different feelings between Palästinenser and Jewish people and their trials

loved this story

Enjoyed the movement between historical times. Very good story with interesting historical data thrown in.

Thought-provoking

Three stories, three different times in history all woven together like a tapestry. I know that grace is obviously absent from our world and has been for a long time. Even more so these past two chaotic years (2020-21). And grace seems even more distant from us. Ms. Austin is an artist and her words paint images in my mind and heart and they take root. Grace... It only works went it's freely given. It is truly very costly for the giver and is totally free to the receiver. But both are so richly blessed. Lovely book! I think I'll listen to this again soon.

Superbly Written Story!!

Absolutely excellent, detailed, and enthralling story with wonderful historical information that are relevant for all today.

Good read

Too much switching back and forth of time periods. I could do without the reader’s voices for the character change. Enjoyed the ending and spiritual aspects of the plot.

Very good

It was well done. And a great story. It was educational too! I enjoyed it.

Amazing Story

It explained so well how Jesus is the messiah in the Jewish faith. I'm going to go back and listen again.

One Piece if a much Bigger Design

I have hopped and skipped through a lot of Christian fiction. Almost always with disappointment. Too often the Christianity was just thrown in at the end with little real conviction or evidence of a Christian walk in the characters. Often the plot was as shallow as the characters. I love heavy fiction with memorable characters and plots as complex as real life. I also love Jesus and want to relate to characters who are attempting to follow Him, as I do. Finally, Lynn Austin has delivered on all counts! If you are a summer, beach chair kind of reader- you might not like this one. But if you are a serious Christian and a serious reader, I think you will enjoy this book. This would also be an excellent book to share with a Jewish friend that you hope to lead to the Lord.
