I recently received the book Tales of the Defended Ones to review. Tales of the Defended Ones tells the story of five children who need defending. Ben, Joseph, Antonio, Caitlyn, and Jorani. All from different countries, with many things in common.
Ben and Joseph lose their mothers, but find a family looking just for them. Antonio is rescued from what seems like a hopeless situation. Caitlyn dares to trust that truth will set her free. Jorani is delivered from slavery into the arms of grace.
As you follow these real life stories, you will see the hand of our Defender God shielding and defending these kids. While we may have never encountered the type of things these kids need to be rescued from, we all can relate to God coming in to save us. These are tales of the weak and wounded. Tales of how our amazing God has made them strong and whole again. Just like he does in our lives.
While Tales of the Defended Ones is written for youth, I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. The writing is not so simple that adults will be put off by it. The children’s stories were told in a way that won’t scare children reading this book. I was impressed with how the author handled a difficult story of slavery. Showing the girl scared and hurt, without sharing the details of her slavery.
I highly recommend Tales of the Defended Ones by Beth Guckenberger as well as the first book in the series, that I reviewed last year, Tales of the Not Forgotten .
