I was hoping to blog about this book BEFORE lent began but sadly just didn't get to it. I am so sorry about that. Still, I have to say we really are enjoying this story and I highly recommend picking it up for next year's lenten season.

Have you heard of or read Jotham's Journey? That is an advent study. This story, Amon's Adventures, takes place roughly 30 years later. Amon is Jotham's son. Jotham gets accused of stealing money from the temple and is sentenced to die. Amon, as the oldest son, sets out to try to prove his father's innocence. The book is set up in a similar way as Jotham's Journey --- each day you read a chapter. The chapter ends with a bible verse and a lesson to be learned. We often have a hard time just reading one chapter a day as it does leave you hanging to find out the 'rest of the story'. It is very, very well written and has been just a joy to read.
