My Thoughts on Return to the Fierce Land:

This was a neat story about the love of family and facing your fears.  Other major themes are finding the truth in the one true God and forgiveness.  I enjoyed this book though this is not my favorite genre.  This is a good high school or middle school level Christian fantasy fiction.  

I did enjoy these characters and getting to know them better.  They drew me in and made me want to understand them.  The Fierce Land was nicely described though I can’t say I’d want to go there.  

This is a book that I will be letting my teenagers read.  Even though it wasn’t a favorite of mine, my children do enjoy fantasy books and I’m sure they’ll like this one.  So I’m recommending it as a good read for middle to high schoolers or teenagers. 

I have voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from Celebrate Lit. All views expressed are only my honest opinion. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way. All opinions expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the FTC regulations.

I’ve always been drawn to the miraculous aspects of life and creation. I think almost all children experience this, but over time we become so busy and distracted that we lose the awareness of how miraculous life really is. I’m no different. Modern life is pretty demanding!

I love good movies, and I realized over time that there were a great many super-hero movies and movies with Messianic-themed heroes. It made me aware of how human beings hunger to reconnect with that sense of awe we had as children. We all need a relationship with God, not just for His abiding love and hope, the promise of eternal life, and help with the challenges of this mortal life, but to be connected to the Author of the miraculous.

That’s what inspired me to write the Fierce Land series. The scriptures are full of miracles and interventions as well as the heartfelt prayers of humans trying to learn God’s ways and overcome their own internal struggles. And that’s what this series explores, within the framework of a world that is not modern but faces many of the same issues people have always faced. I hope the story is a blessing to those who read it, and that it helps to remind us that our lives are full of miracles.
