A Cast of Stones (#01 in The Staff And The Sword Series)

This book is the best Christian based book I have read in a long time. I find it hard to be enthralled by Christian books because I find I tend to be able to predict the ending too easily (because the main character is normally on a journey to find faith). However this book really had me hooked! There were a lot of twists and turns and I really found myself enjoying the main character! The world building is great also - not too much exposition, just enough explanation to help you figure out things on your own. Very excited to read the remainder of the series!

I loved this book as did my whole family. Everyone from the 10 year old and over has read it and fallen in love with the adventure and mystery. Most of us have read every book in the series twice or more. It fired up my boys imaginations and had them play fighting with staffs (bamboo) in the backyard!

I have these books and love them. The author was very clever at making them christian by giving the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit different names. You really get into them, my three older sisters, my younger brother and myself all struggled to put the books down. I recommended them to a friend and she has now bought them as well.
