A Journey of a Read

I have recently received an incredible opportunity to become a book reviewer for Kregel Pulications. They are sending me books about to be released and allowing me to read them and post my thoughts on the blog. I have already received the first book to review and a personal email from the first author. I am excited and thankful for this new adventure. 

The book is called Glastonbury Tor and it is a story of a quest . . . a quest for forgiveness, a quest for knowledge, and overall a quest for self-discovery. Colin, the main character, is faced with many choices and conflicting family ideas of what his future should look like. His relationship with his dominant father is strained to say the least. His mother, who has died, always wanted him to be a monk and this guides him on a journey to discover what he wants for his life.

Set in the countryside in the days of King Henry VIII, the story is full of mystery, intrigue, relationships and belief. Although it is a work of fiction, the author, LeAnne Hardy, does a wonderful job of setting the tone and taking you back to a very different time and place.

LeAnne Hardy has traveled the world responding to God's call to be a missionary, a call that has taken her to Africa, South America, and Eastern Europe. The diverse settings and plots in her books have been inspired by her real-life encounters there. Many of the stories and scenes from her books come from her family's experiences on the mission field or are based on true stories of others.
