THOUGHTS ABOUT THE BOOK:

Okay, confession time. I haven't read this one yet. However, my oldest son has, and he has shared some of his thoughts with me. I will pass them along to you now, because I am just thrilled that I have such great books available for my son to read, and even more thrilled that he can understand the important spiritual message behind the story!

Aiden O'Neil is a third generation fireman. There have been a lot of mysterious fires in his area, and the firebug seems to be targeting Aiden. It seems as if he is being pursued by the fire itself. But is through this series of life-threatening situations that Aiden must learn that unless God is in charge of his life, unless he is relinquishing control of his life to God, that he will become overwhelmed and make wrong choices. But, if the Lord is leading, you can walk Through the Fire of life with far less pain and calamity than if you depend totally on your own strength. There is a lot of action in this story, and it is a very good book.

So, purchase your own copy and get to know Shawn Grady. He is a terrific debut novelist!
