The Brueggen Stones

By Sarah Glover Byrd

Description:

Lynn's an in-between. Not a child, not an adult--even if she does have a job in a department store. In fact, her life isn't interesting at all. . .until the day she trips and bumps her head on a Chicago sidewalk.
Plunged headlong into the world of Tarth and a vicious war between the evil sorcerer, Gefcla and the kindly Stallis, Lynn decides she should try to fulfill a prophetic rhyme from Keshua, the Healer. Only she can't let anyone else know, or they might try to stop her.
Chell, a Stalli warrior, wants to help, but he is hours away--and Gefcla isn't!

Book Takeaway:

I want readers to identify with characters who aren't superheroes or even super-spiritual. They have faults and weaknesses that need correcting; they are also likeable, often funny people, who need to depend on Keshua more than they realize. I would also like readers to have a new appreciation of trust and an expanded awe of what might be out there in Christ's kingdom.

Why the author wrote this book:

I wrote The Brueggen Stones because I wanted there to be more fun fantasy with a Christian worldview. This is the kind of story I have always enjoyed reading, and I wanted to give it to other people as my way of obeying the command to love one another.
