DTQ Release Party is Here!
Looking forward to seeing everyone at the release party today. Just in the way of preparation, I’m re-posting the Literary Losers video from the Daniel and the Sun Sword release event. It’ll get everyone warmed up for the next installment today around 2:00.
Character Spotlight: Daniel
In Daniel and the Triune Quest, Daniel’s pride and lack of empathy causes problems in his relationship with Ben. As in any relationship, healing that breach requires a great deal of humility and communication.
Have pride and self-centeredness wreaked havoc on your relationships?
Is God calling you to apologize in humility to those you’ve hurt so that the relationship can be healed?

Praise for Daniel and the Triune Quest
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.
Reader’s Favorite Review by Sarah Scheele
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!

DTQ Release Party: TWO Days Away
Only two days left until the DTQ release party. Hope to see you all there! In the meantime, here’s a quick word from Hurricane Nate:
Character Spotlight: Ben
In Daniel and the Triune Quest, Ben finds that bitterness and anger isolate him from his friends when he needs them the most. It’s only when he is willing to let go of his resentments that he is able to receive help and fulfill his destiny.
Have you allowed resentment to isolate you from God and others?
Are you willing to forgive so you can grow closer to God and accomplish His purpose in your life?

Character Spotlight: Shakti
In Daniel and the Triune Quest, a new villain takes the stage. Shakti, the self-styled goddess of pestilence, is on a mission from the Enemy, and one thing she’s good at is using fear to manipulate people into her control.
What happens when fear controls us?
We automatically forget the promises of our Heavenly Father and intense confusion sets in. And confusion ripens us for deception. Daniel and Ben aren’t defenseless, however, and learn how to turn their eyes away from the Enemy and his plans, and to focus on God and his power even in the midst of terror. Once fixed on this, fear and deception melt away, and the way of salvation is clear.
Does the Enemy frequently use fear against you?
How can you fix your attention on God and his promises?

Daniel and the Sun Sword Review
Peter Younghusband regularly reviews Christian books at the Christian Fiction Review. Since D&SS debuted, I’ve wanted him to do a review, but he was too swamped. Finally, he was able to not only review it, but also Daniel and the Triune Quest! His DTQ review will be posted hopefully in conjunction with the book’s release. But, while you’re waiting, find a brief excerpt from his review below, as well as a link to the whole post.
Additionally, D&SS peaked on Amazon (probably thanks to Peter), and was in the Top 100 for one of its categories!
The Guru’s Review:
The author asked me to review this novel in 2015 when it was about to be released but I was unable to due to a long list of author requested reviews. I have been able to now as he requested a review of the next novel in the series about to be released over the next few weeks.
Now that I have read this debut novel, I realise what I have missed. This is a wild ride for a debut novel in this genre. Lumbatis writes as one who is a seasoned novelist. It is very hard to distinguish that this is his debut. On all the infrastructure that makes up a novel, a tick can be applied. The pace never slows down, the action never stops, the characters are well developed. Worldbuilding provides a solid foundation upon which everything rests. This is developed well and believable. The supernatural elements are based firmly in Biblical foundations. They are also rooted in the mythology of the geographical location and culture depicted. This is not surprising seeing that Lumbatis is writing from a Christian/Biblical worldview.
In relation to the supernatural elements, I loved Lumbatis’s take on the Gospel message. The same for those of angels and demons and their various forms and names. Using poetic licence that includes artifacts that are supernaturally empowered by God to assist in defeating the power’s of darkness, does not detract from the Gospel message or compromise its tenets. To me, this shows Lumbatis’s motive to adhere to his faith and belief in the Bible and its doctrines.

Book Release Date
The release for Daniel and the Triune Quest has been pushed to July. Editing is finished! Interior layout and cover design is underway.
My hope is to have the release party at Barnes and Noble this time; but there are a lot of moving parts so…we’ll see.
I’d like to get some feedback as I plan for the event, though. Within the past month, I’ve been approached by numerous people interested in writing a book and getting published, so I’m thinking about having part of the release party focus on that. Please indicate your thoughts on this, and a few other specifics, by voting in the poll below.
Where Are These Photos Taken? Puzzler #4
Thanks to one reader for correctly identifying that the ruins from the past Photo Puzzlers have been in India. NOW…can anyone discover their names and the town they are all located in?
Anyone know where these ruins are located?
I’ll give you a hint: they are all near a famous (and ancient) military fort somewhere in western India.
