Daniel and the Triune Quest

The Trees of Eden Nears Its Completion

Good morning and Merry Christmas! It’s been over a year since I’ve posted. 2022 has been busy busy busy. Unfortunately, I haven’t gotten in as much writing as I’d hoped.

Nonetheless, Daniel and the Trees of Eden, the fourth and final book in the series is nearly finished, and I hope to have it completed in time to release in early Spring or Summer.

Meanwhile, if you happen to be looking for a perfect Christmas present for your Christian Fantasy-loving kids, look no further. Check out the first three books in the Sons and Daughters series to get them all read-up before the fourth one is released. As usual, you can find them at my website HERE, Amazon, or Downtown Books in Dothan, AL.  

 

But Nathan, how can I purchase the first three books? I’m glad you asked.

Voilà. Click on the image below for Amazon ordering.

New Cover for Daniel and the Triune Quest

New Cover

A couple months ago, I thought, “Hmm, DTQ could use some freshening up.” So, it got a new cover. And here it is!

 

 

The new DTQ is now available on Amazon.

Make sure you get read up on Daniel and the Sun Sword and Daniel and the Triune Quest BEFORE Daniel and the Serpent’s Abyss comes out. Which is soon, by the way!


Daniel and the Serpent’s Abyss News and Updates

I’ll be revealing the cover for Daniel and the Serpent’s Abyss next weekend. Meanwhile, here’s the answer to the last photo puzzler.

This is the passage tomb of Barclodiad y Gawres in northern Wales. The legend is below.

 

Barclodiad y Gawres is Welsh for “The Giantess’s Apronful” and is pronounced  BAR-clodi-ad ee GAR-res. The name comes from a legend surrounding the passage tomb, no doubt spread well after the true history of the ruins was forgotten. The legend has it that a giant couple (husband and wife) were carrying rocks north to build a new home for themselves. Weary from their journey, they stopped to ask a cobbler the distance to Anglesey, not realizing they were already there. Scared for his life, the cobbler lied and said they were miles away. The giantess was so distraught, that she dropped her stones, leaving the tomb as you see it now.

Hmm, “Giantess’s Apronful”… a giantess and stones. I wonder how this legend will play out in Daniel and the Serpent’s Abyss.  I guess you’ll have to read it to find out.

Christian Fiction Review by Peter Younghusband

5.0 out of 5 stars (Amazon)
Better Than Its Predecessor. Takes This Series To The Next Level. You Won’t Be Disappointed.
on September 15, 2017

Every author and every reader anticipate that a sequel will be just as good or better than the previous….Well, I can say that this is a better story than its predecessor (Daniel and the Sun Sword)….

Lumbatis has shown more of the biblical aspects of who God is, the Trinity, and the Gospel message….

The account where Daniel meets Jesus is powerful but gentle and bypasses the head and ministers straight to the heart….

I know Lumbatis researched the mythology and culture….[and] translated this research into the plot and setting of the novel very well. It is great world building….Makes it very credible and real.

 Daniel and the Triune Quest is a blast—a breathtaking thrill ride!

A blast—a breathtaking thrill ride! Tantalizing prose, and…deliciously well-written. I fell head-over-heels for the witty, sarcastic dialogue. Daniel and Ben’s adventures are action-adventure spelled out, along with a hefty dose of drama, comedy, and memorable characters.

The action-packed narrative undoubtedly has the power to lure kids away from video games, and the spiritual messages are core, buoyed by dazzling anime-like visuals presented through…clear-cut learning arcs for the two boys.

Parents…should jump at this one and bookmark Nathan Lumbatis for future reference.

Wow! My husband and I couldn’t put this book down. It sure got our hearts pumping! Exciting, surprising, inspiring — but also arresting. It made me stop and think about the realities of God’s purpose for our lives, the very real “battles” we face, and His power & strength available to us in the midst of it all. Rich imagery. So good!

Quarantine-Bored Kids? Let Them Listen to Chapter 1 of Daniel and the Sun Sword

Daniel and the Sun Sword Chapter 1, Read by Yours Truly

If your kids are bored, let them listen to Daniel and the Sun Sword, Chapter 1. I spent WAY too much time putting together some crazy pictures to go along with this video, but it was worth it.

Enjoy!

 


Daniel and the Serpent’s Abyss News and Updates

The final touches are being added to the Serpent’s Abyss as we speak. Cover is done and will be revealed soon, as well as the revamped cover for Daniel and the Triune Quest. Once all this Covid stuff is behind us, I look forward to a fun book signing!

Here’s a few photos of different ruins featured in Daniel and the Serpent’s Abyss. As you may recall, Newgrange in Ireland was the answer to the first puzzler.

Can anyone guess where this one is?

Sons and Daughters News and Puzzler!

What’s new? Hmm. Oh, I don’t know. Everything! Editing is underway for Serpent’s Abyss, as is cover design! AND … Daniel and the Triune Quest is getting a new cover! Here are a few teasers:

 


And now, for the new Photo Puzzlers. Where and what are some of the ruins featured in Serpent’s Abyss? 

See if you can figure them out from these new photos…

And, in case this helps, here’s a dead give-a-way. The ruins are also immortalized in a famous song from Clannad.

Any ideas?

Spiritual Beings

In this Post…

  • View the Trailer for Daniel and the Triune Quest

Spiritual Beings

The Bible Project has always been awesome, but their latest series on Spiritual Beings really raises the bar! Especially because of their emphasis on the Divine Council, the tactics of fallen angelic powers, and…how all this fits within the Sons and Daughters mythology!

Really, I should should say how the Sons and Daughters mythology fits within it…I mean…they are just illustrating what the Bible says.

Anyway, here, in order, is the series. I encouraged EVERYONE to watch them all. But hey, only if you really want to understand the Bible, history, the spiritual influences on human nature…you know…small things like that.


DSS in Top 100 Twice

One thing you should know about authors…we obsessively check the sales rankings of our books on Amazon.

So, naturally, I was happy when my obsessiveness paid off this past week when Daniel and the Sun Sword was in the top 100 for its primary category…twice! Hooray!
