One enemy.
Two brothers.
And a perilous quest in search of four mystical keys…
Keys that will unlock the gate of Sentinel, the timeless city of destiny – the place that all followers of the Light must one day find. Only true warriors of good King Deus can call it home.
Sentinel: City of Destiny, follows the journey of two brothers from their childhood home of Callow on a quest to Sentinel, the city of destiny in Bravura. Jerol and his brother Jadan are faced with the same challenges boys in our world have to deal with – learning to make good decisions, the value of hard work and enthusiasm, the dangers of covetousness and debt, temptation and desiring the approval of their peers.
Their quest to collect the four keys to Sentinel’s gate takes them on a variety of adventures through cities like Shylock, Narcissa, and Perfidy. While the Pilgrim’s Progress style allegory can seem a little heavy-handed to an adult, it’s perfect for the eight year old and up boys for whom the book is intended. And the fact that the book can hold an adult’s attention so well is a testimony to the story line. This is a book you will enjoy reading with or to your children.
Each segment of the journey contains an important lesson on manhood which is entertaining and Biblically-sourced. The story includes paraphrased verses, along with the chapter and verse references so that the reader can look up the original as well. There is also a helpful section in the back of the book which includes discussion questions and vocabulary. While Sentinel is a fun read on its own, it can also serve as father and son bible study.
You can read the first six chapters and purchase the book here. This is a very instructive and entertaining book, and I highly recommend it to any family with young sons.
