[Kaitlyn Rinehart]

I appreciated the lesson of hard work and perseverance in this story. Another lesson is the importance of obedience to God's calling on your life. I highly recommend this book for any reader young or old.

Great read with my 8-year-old.

Great story coming back around. Loved it! Thank you Lamplighter Theatre

[Lindsay Jacobs]

An absolute favorite! Beautiful language, excellent message, enjoyable for the whole family.


UPDATE: We read this again (maybe the third time?) and loved it even more because my Jack is much older and took in the beautiful story, even commenting right at my favorite passage… “wow, that was wise!” My Jack is a conqueror, too, and this story is a JOY to share with him and his siblings.

[Loretta F. Miller]

[Danette]
