Editorial Reviews

▼▲

"This is a wonderful book - in fact it's a wonderful series. Irene Howat writes with a real warmth and insight. People that you have never met come alive on the page. Christian legends and unsung heroes all become friends you can understand and look up to.
In a world where role models of real integrity are few and far between the Lightkeeper's series fills the gap!"
