Name of book: Loresmen (Peleg Chronicles: Book Three)
Series: The Peleg Chronicles
Author: Matthew Christian Harding
Format: Soft Cover
Ages: 10+
Overall Rating: 5 stars
The Peleg Chronicles takes place in the historical time setting of “the days of Peleg” a few generations after Noah and the Flood. During this time of dragons, dwarves, heathen priests, giants and the like, adventure is bound to be discovered!
Here the trilogy comes gracefully to a close... After the nearly mind wracking cliff-hanger that left us at the last book, we find our heroes a midst a battle with three giants. Can five mere men really defeat a force such as they?
Meanwhile, Thiery finds himself caught in the middle of a council- the trial of a friend that is being persecuted for his belief in Noah's God. When Thiery stands up for him, testifying to the truths of his story, Thiery gets whirled into battle between the gods- a contest, if you will, to see who's God is true- the multiples of the heathens, or the God of Noah. Will Thiery survive the cruel challenge?
-Worldview: Thoroughly Christian. Even though this book is set in a time before Christ and before most scripture (save the book of Job) has been written, many Biblical passages are quoted by the characters as their own thoughts of God.
-Romance: None- until the epilogue in which two characters get married.
-Blasphemy/Profanity(Exodus 20:7): None
-Era (historical time period): 2200-2000 BC
-Genre: Historical Fiction
-Gospel Given: Yes. As well as it could be without mentioning Jesus- He hadn’t been born at that time.
Final thoughts or comments:
While it is sad that the chronicles have come to a close- what a beautiful ending it had! As in the previous book, the theme of redemption- the idea of grace for the worst of sinners, is glorified and exampled in this book.
I shouldn't say any more- I don't want to spoil it for anyone!
