Invitation to Lakehurst – Book Three
Some things seem so far out of reach we’re afraid to even hope for them, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t…
Unlocking Lakehurst’s secrets has freed something within Elijah himself. Suddenly, tomorrow isn’t something to be dreaded, and though he still has no confidence in the man in the mirror, for the first time in memory he can look there without hanging his head in shame. But his newfound internal peace does not extend to those around him. The first true friend he’s ever had is looking cancer and a long prison sentence right in the eye; and the woman who unknowingly holds his heart in her hands is about to become collateral damage. Elijah now knows where to turn, but unbelievably God seems to be pointing him right back to his dark past, and the man who he blames more than any other for his becoming homeless in the first place.
Where do you go when you’re clinging to life and have nowhere else to turn? You climb a mountain you swore you’d never set foot on again. Severely wounded and running from a firing squad or hangman’s noose, Jedidiah climbs aboard Dasher and races him toward the one place the tracker, Howard, can’t—or at least might not follow him. What he’ll do when he gets there he hasn’t a clue. When it comes down to it, there’s only one thing left that he cares about; and if setting his beloved horse free is the last thing he ever does, that will be enough.
Atop a tall oak tree, Falling Tree watches as his enemies draw near. Except to his unbelieving eyes he sees that they are not searching for Cherokees, one of them is being pursued by the others. My enemy is fighting himself, He thinks. The Lord is fighting my battles for me. But then why does the wounded soldier being chased ride straight to his oak tree before collapsing, and why does Falling Tree suddenly feel the need to help the unconscious man? And more importantly, what will it mean to all the people who are depending on him to bring them through the great trial they’re facing if he does?
