Pilgrims of Promise (Journey of Souls, No. 3) [Paperback]

C.D. Baker (Author)

Book Description

Unsuccessful in their mission to reach Jerusalem and to rescue her from Islam, Wil and a band of children begin the journey back home. They have endured starvation, disease, and the horrors of watching their young comrades die or be killed on their pilgrimage.

Where was God? Why did the Church not prevent such a misadventure? Vivid and haunting, the final book in this trilogy reveals some of humanity's most atrocious acts toward the innocent, and yet simultaneously some of the greatest kindness. It is strangely not all that different from today.

From the Author

This is the third and final installment in 'The Journey of Souls Series,' and through it I was able to delight in the final adventures of the many characters I had grown to love. Changed by suffering on account of the pursuit of Truth, our friends finally discover liberty. This book ended a decade of research and writing for the series and, if I'm honest, it was very difficult to write; I found it very hard to say good-bye. --Author

Excellent, Excellent series. If you like historical, Christian fiction without fluff this is the book for you! I read the whole series and really enjoyed it. I am also a fan of Bodie Thoene and Francine Rivers.
