Why read it?

1 author picked For a Noble Purpose as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I love character-driven stories. I found that, and more, in the Christian historical novel For A Noble Purpose.

The story revolves around a group crossing the American frontier by wagon train in the 1850s. They hope to build a utopian community in the Pacific Northwest.

The story evolves into a metaphor for life’s journey. Prepare to be surprised, and I was. At first, I was skeptical about allusions to the Book of Tobit and about the “gifts” of some characters. I’m glad I kept reading. Good writing/storytelling/characters, and unexpected twists combine into a delightful whole. Also, I appreciate novels…
