Author: Terry Hughes
Publisher: Covenant Books, Inc.
ISBN: 1638850372
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 318
Book Description
After crossing the Atlantic Ocean, Ethan Sayer and his three daughters are now faced with finding the four remaining Saint's Treasures. God told Ethan that he and his three daughters would travel with His four emissaries and reveal treasures which would be a test for the Gentile world. Ethan believes they will be in nations that he was sent with one of God's angels. It will be an around-the-world trip, and one nation is still a mystery! The only deadline was given by Ethan's wife, "Have Lyndsay and Alicia back in time to register for their college classes." Come along on this around-the-world mission and meet kings, queens, princes, princesses, and other world leaders. Visit distant lands and, more importantly, meet the people that live there. These are the people to whom God sent His emissaries. They are the real treasure in a fallen world. The challenge for the Sayers is that the emissaries are the Dragons of the Apocalypse, and they are to ride these dragons across oceans, mountains, and over hostile countries. Ethan Sayer has looked at pioneers of early flight as his guides to accomplish his mission. Ethan feels an urgency that his oldest daughter does not share. She wants to enjoy the journey, but Ethan feels he must complete the work as quickly as possible. Join this family as they experience a world full of joy and sometimes sorrow. They will make friends with great and small alike, but it is not all blissful, but that is life.
