Wherefore Art Thou Ramón?

By Roger E. Bruner

Description:

When Ramón Montéz and Julianne Carlson were children, they unwittingly started a feud between their fathers. Six years later, the feud is still going strong, and it’s having an increasingly horrible effect on everyone: their pastor and fellow church members, the customers at their jewelry store, and the townspeople in general.

And it’s also affecting the relationship between each man and his wife and each man and his teen. Not to mention the way it threatens the growing romance between Ramón and Julianne.

As determined as the two teens are to end the feud and restore their fathers’ friendship, they have little hope of doing so—until one of their friends proposes the most outrageous suggestion. One that sounds almost certain to work.

But the cost in heartbreak and tarnished reputations will be high. Is this idea even biblical? And will the ends justify the means?

Warning: This novel is strongly pro-life and advocates celibacy before marriage. It also advocates respecting parents—and spouses—even when they’re wrong.

WHEREFORE ART THOU RAMÓN? has something to say to adults as well as to teens.

Book Takeaway:

Christians can't justify doing biblically unacceptable things even if they're doing them for a righteous reason.

Why the author wrote this book:

I love Romeo and Juliet, and it occurred to me that a Christian view of a similar story might be fun, interesting, and worthwhile.
