ACHIEVED THE #1 YOUNG ADULT NOVEL OF THE YEAR 2020.
Book Includes:
- What if there was an exciting book series that could instill in your children many of the spiritual concepts that you hold dear?
- It has taken years to craft an exciting and funny story that seamlessly unveils spiritual concepts, such as:
- Practical ways to discern the Voice of God and His Will for your life.
- The plight of children in human trafficking. (Never focusing on the disgusting parts.) This can be a tool to make children aware of the danger.
- An overview of Buddhism, Animism and Karmic world views.
- An in-depth portrayal of the Thai culture.
- Gives short-term mission teams an idea of what to expect on a typical outreach.
- Typical day in the life of a missionary kid and missionary family.
- What it is like when an orphan moves into an orphanage.
- .... and much more. All without slowing down the action.
Warning:
- Complex themes are dealt with subtly. Most kids can handle the content in these books from age and up.
I thoroughly enjoyed Rescue, the first book in this series set in Thailand. The book works on several levels. First, there is the story of Chaz, a thirteen year old boy navigating girls, friendships, and Thai mobsters. Running parallel to Chaz's story is that of a girl named Katya who is forced to flee her village or die. Lastly, the book offers insights into Thai culture and the life of missionaries. You will find yourself really caring about these characters and eager to read the next book.

There is more reality to this book than a reader might think. Despite the fact that this is a fictional book, it gives great insight to what life is like for many living in Thailand. A great thing that the author does is that he explains Thai terms through out his book making it easier for those who haven't lived in Thailand to understand the story on a deeper level. This book is a fun read because you will get to experience the intense raw adventure that Sean brings to his book along with his lively characters.

Review by: Clara Won (Age 57)
Journey” is exhilarating. The twists and turns really caught me by surprise. The unexpected challenges and roller coaster emotions set me on edge. On reflecting, I too had some of these hair-raising experiences when I was working cross-culturally. This is a great introduction to learn about cultures. And Sean, a Missionary Kid himself, certainly has the authority to write on this subject. I strongly recommend Missionary Kids to read this Trilogy. You will be spell-bound. And this is a must-read for Missionary Kid’s Parents. You will identify with many experiences in this Trilogy. And I hope it will get you and your children to talk about the shared experiences you have.

Fast-paced, as would suit any story about a dragon, especially when the dragon has conflicting loyalties. Learning to trust God even when it doesn't make sense, and to make him your Lord, over and above your own desires, is well demonstrated for us.
