The Quest (The Mustard Seed Series #2) [Paperback]

Nancy Moser (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 12, 1999

The Quest, book two in author Nancy Moser's Mustard Seed series, is the continuing story of four ordinary people whose lives are forever changed after they are invited to the very supernatural town of Haven, Nebraska. The paths of Natalie, Walter, Kathy, Del, and Julia are once again joined in a quest of faith -- and a battle against the forces determined to stop them -- as they implement the decisions and direction they received in The Invitation and discover the meaning of Matthew 7:7: "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." When the heat's turned up and the enemy unleashes his greatest opposition, the Havenites learn that it's not enough to know what's right -- one must, with God's help, do what's right. No matter what the cost.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable Second Helping!, December 1, 1999

This review is from: The Quest (The Mustard Seed Series #2) (Paperback)

As the facilitator for a Christian Book Club, I am always looking for selections that our members will find enjoyable and challenging. We hit the jackpot with Nancy Moser's "The Invitation," and we couldn't wait until the the second in the series made its debut. It was well worth the wait! The old, familiar characters are back, with more depth and substance. In addition, we are introduced to new characters who are just as intriguing. Again, the Biblical lessons are very clear, but not "preachy," and the emphasis on prayer is of particular note. Our club consensus was unanimous: we can't wait for #3!

4.0 out of 5 stars Fast-paced and gripping, August 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Quest (The Mustard Seed Series #2) (Paperback)

I'm puzzled by the reviewer who called this book "cute" and the spiritual warfare aspect "amateurish." I found the book impossible to put down and actually liked it even better than its predecessor, "The Invitation." Nancy Moser effectively brings home the reality of evil in the world. The scenes in which the villain, Bo Tenebri, begins to show his true colors are chilling. In my opinion, this book deserves a place right up there on the shelf with the best of Frank Peretti's spiritual warfare classics.
