The Whirlwind

Journeys to Fayrah #3

by Bill Myers

Carved from the Blood Mountains, a perpetual reminder of Imager’s great love for mankind, the mysterious Bloodstone opens a gateway into multiple dimensions. As Denise, Nathan, and Joshua visit these fantastic realities and learn of Imager’s unfathomable compassion, they must also battle strange creations while fighting the internal wars of their own hearts. This profoundly creative and entertaining allegory for children eight to eighty is a sparkling-fresh depiction of life’s most important journey. In a dramatic showdown the children finally trust Imager enough to receive his Breath. But is there enough power in it to overcome the evil they must face? Moreover, can his Breath protect them from the crushing mirrors that reflect their past failures in the Sea of Justice?

About the author

Bill Myers was born into a Christian home, and although as a child he became bored with Christianity, he decided at the University of Washington quote, to "make God my boss." Ironically, at the University his worst subject was writing. He claims to have prayed, and said that he would be able to do anything for God, except write. Even so, he has become a prominent Christian writer, and has a large amount of successful books and films to his credit.

[Jerry (Rebel With a Massive Media Library)]

The style of writing may definitely be geared towards the younger set, but this twenty-four-year-old book lover still found it entertaining, if a bit short. Those who enjoyed the previous two installments in the Journeys to Fayrah quadrilogy will find plenty to like about The Whirlwind. One other thing of note: One part of the book seemed eerily reminiscent of the Horcrux scene in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Before you accuse Bill Myers of copying J. K. Rowling, keep in mind that The Whirlwind

Reread as an adult. Simple story, but everyone needs to remember that hard work does not and cannot lead to perfection.
