THIS WEEK’S RANDOM QUESTION: What is your favorite book? (or, one of your favorites!)

Favorite book? There are so many. I guess if I had to pick one it would be The Stand by Stephen King. Ultimate good versus ultimate evil, faith, the supernatural, and the rebuilding of society. Pretty neat stuff.

I recently finished reading The White Knight, the Lost Kingdom, and the Sea Princess by Judy Carlson. Like young adult fantasy has been influenced by the popularity of Harry Potter, Christian fantasy has been influenced by The Chronicles of Narnia by C. S. Lewis for decades.

After the brutal murder of the royal family a decade earlier, Prince Lael fights for the freedom of the Lost Kingdom. Along his journey, he meets a mysterious Sea Princess who quickly captivates him. Two cousins from Minnesota are dropped into the mystical realm and join the fight to free the Sea Princess while searching for their way back home.

This is a thrilling Christian adventure story sure to appeal to many. The battle against the dark forces will thrill and the romantic element will touch hearts. Eloquently written, Carlson has developed a story with numerous plot points seamlessly woven to create a fascinating tale. Lovers of mythical fantasy will appreciate this one.
