That's how to describe Jotham and the work he creates. Working as an apprentince under a master wood carver, Jontham has so much potential. He has two good friends that are always there ready to encourage him. What more could he want? A father, that's what. Jotham has always dreamed of having a father. So when the people of the book share with him about being adopted by the King, Jotham sets out for the border desiring to find salvation. Will he make it? Will his two good friends stop him or find salvation themselves? Will what is beyond the border be what was promised or will it leave him still empty inside? | | Extra Notes: | A true allegory, these authors weave the story of Jotham, Alfric and Gwyneth in amongst danger, suspense, promises, lies, watchers, faithful advocates and the presenting of the Gospel message and a few key elements of living as a child of the King. The story is complex and well done. Just like The Sword, The Ring, and the Parchment, there is an explanation in the back that identifies what the allegorical elements represent and how to truly be saved. The biggest difference between the books is the age it targets. The characters in this book are upper teens or young adults. The book is much thicker and contains a more complex plot.
The book seems to indicate that it was designed to be a series, but I have failed to find a record of any others. | | Reviewer: | | | Recommendation Scale: | 5 |
