Goodreads asked Lynn Austin:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Lynn Austin I've recently returned to Biblical Fiction with my newest series, "The Restoration Chronicles" I was inspired to write this book on an amazing trip I took to Israel. I believe there is so much we can learn from studying scripture, and that its truths have a great deal of relevance to our modern lives. In talking about Israel’s history, the Apostle Paul wrote, “These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us” (1 Cor 10:11). I’ve heard many people say that they find the Bible difficult to read, so it’s my prayer that Return to Me and the other books in the series will bring the Bible to life for those readers. I hope they’ll begin to see that the men and women in scripture were very much like us, and that they will be inspired by the walk of faith of biblical people like Ezra.
