Title: Gideon’s Dawn Author: Michael D. Warden Publisher: Barbour Books Inc. ISBN: 1-58660-725-1 Genre: Inspirational/Fantasy
While on a field trip to measure fault movement in the Rocky Mountains, geologist Gideon Dawning was mysteriously transported to another place and time. This new world offered danger and adventure to Gideon, as he suddenly found himself the center of attention in a battle of good and evil that had been raging for thousands of years.
The weapons in this war are words. There are two magical languages, one with the power to create, and the other to destroy. For generations, the language of Destruction has remained dominant while those who spoke the words of Life were silenced. Yet the abrupt appearance of Gideon breathed hope into the ancient prophecies that spoke of the Kinsman Redeemer. But for Gideon to become what he was destined to become, he must first escape Death and then embrace the source of the words of Life.
Gideon’s Dawn is a powerful, page-turner complete with all the essential elements of an epic adventure. The traditional battle of good versus evil is fought in a new arena and with new weapons. Michael Warden has creatively paralleled the great truths of the Bible in his unique world. Christian readers will delight to discover the similarities, and yet be startled at the disturbing implications. The amazing energy of words has both evidences as well as hindrances in this world.
It seems to be no coincidence that every “sword” contains a “word”. Michael Warden has used words to carve a path to a mysterious world that will transport readers, transform their thinking and transcend their imaginations. Words are powerful and so is this book! | |
