The Secrets of the Castle (Thunder and Lightening Series) (Volume 1)

By Aaron M Zook Jr

Description:

Intrigue and danger surround two young boys and their dogs as they seek to unravel a castle mystery.

A nearly disastrous car wreck in Germany launches twelve-year-old Gabriel Zanadu, Alexander, his fourteen-year-old brother, and their two dogs, Thunder and Lightning, into a sinister adventure near the famous German castle, Neuschwanstein, Unexplained eavesdropping, death threats, and heart-pumping danger drag Gabe, Alex, and the dogs into the clutches of a little-know foreign terrorist network, After they are kidnapped by the terrorists, and even though they are scraped, bruised, and battered, Gabe and Alex use what they've learned from their military dad and home-schooling mom to clash with the criminals.

Book Takeaway:

Excitement and adventure can give way to fear, pain and struggle if parental guidance is disregarded; however, God does listen to our prayers and rescues us even though we may not have followed His direction in the beginning or our journey.

Why the author wrote this book:

I wrote the book to create and adventure/mystery series of two boys raised in a Christian home that would grow into maturity in all aspects of their lives - mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual. Similar to YA mystery series in the past, this twelve book series will include the spiritual growth of these two young boys into manhood and their personal commitment to the Lord Jesus Christ. The series doesn't cover up the human nature of the boys as they progress in their growth, which creates a realistic and believable understanding of how a boy might come to the saving knowledge and grace of Jesus, the Messiah. The first two books of the series are cross-over books, opening the door for non-Christians to become involved in the series and the lives of two explorers learning about life in the adult world through investigative eyes.
