This review is from: Tried by Fire: The Second Book of Journeys (The Book of Journeys) (Paperback)

"The Book of Journeys series takes the reader deeper into spiritual
insights with entertaining stories that are packed with symbolism and
allegory. Tried by Fire: The Second Book of Journeys continues the adventures
of characters we have come to know and love in Seeking: The First
Book of Journeys."
-- Pastor Dale Hollin, Columbiaville Assembly of God, Mich.

"Tried by Fire: The Second Book of Journeys is my favorite in the Book of
Journeys series so far. I can relate to Salina's struggles to find her way
in a society that demands what she cannot give--allegiance to cultural
norms that she must resist in order to follow the Messenger, whom she
has grown to love."
-- Chaplain Rose Poag, Methodist Minister, Hot Springs, Ark.

"I ate this book up! I felt like I knew Salina personally. It was fun to
go through her journey with her, triumphing when the Resisters triumphed,
and suffering with them when they had a setback."
-- Megan Garber, Student, Va.

"This book took me on a journey that I'll never forget! I, too, want to
be a Resister in the army of the great King."
-- Amber Hollin, Home-schooled Teen, Mich.
"I liked the way Salina's father was always there, protecting his daughter
and yet relinquishing her to the service of the King, even when he
knew it would place her in danger. This book kept me on the edge of
my seat!"
-- Ralph Brummett, Lynch Station, Va.

"I was drawn into Salina's story and found myself caught up in her
struggles and victories. As I read the final pages, I eagerly anticipated
picking up the next book in the series to find out what happened to
Christiano after he was taken captive. Salina's fidelity to the young
man who had captured her heart on their trek through the jungle will
remind other young women that true love is worth waiting for and
God always has a plan."
-- Aimee Gamache, Grade-school Teacher, Oxford, Miss.
