Story by Jennie Bishop
Paintings by Preston McDaniels
A menacing villain. An impossible quest. A dangerous journey. These elements belong not to the latest mind-numbing video game nor to a current multimillion-dollar action-adventure cinema blockbuster, but to the enthralling pages of The Squire and The Scroll: A Tale of the Rewards of a Pure Heart. As in Jennie Bishop’s earlier work, The Princess and the Kiss (see below), The Squire and the Scroll will hold readers’ attention as it subtly carries them toward commitment to its theme: protecting and preserving a pure heart.
This captivating adventure follows a young squire who travels a long, dangerous road beside his brave knight on a quest for their king. Children will gain valuable insight as they learn, along with the young squire, what it means to face the dangers of temptation, and what it takes to guard one's heart from all that is impure. Theme verse—Psalm 119:9, "How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your Word."
Recommended especially for ages 6-12.
