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?

Better Than Its Predecessor. Takes This Series To The Next Level. You Won’t Be Disappointed.
By: Peter Younghusbandon 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!
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.

It’s been a minute since I’ve posted, but, I finally have some news. Last week I signed the contract for Daniel and the Serpent’s Abyss with Dove Christian Publishers! They were awesome with my first two books and want to champion the third as well. Thanks Dove!
There’s not a solid publication date yet, but, naturally, I’ll update everyone as soon as it’s scheduled.
What’s that you say? What is Serpent’s Abyss about? I’m glad you asked. At this point, I don’t want to give too much away. I will give you some clues as to different places featured in the book, however. Ten points to anyone who can figure out where the following pictures are.
Any ideas?

“I don’t know what to do! What if I make the wrong choice?”
We’ve all been there, haven’t we? Torn between a slew of choices. Unclear about God’s will because he’s not speaking audibly…again. Wondering if we are on the brink of ruining our lives by choosing something God doesn’t want for us, but desperately wanting to do what’s right.
“What if I choose the wrong college?”
“What if I date the wrong person and miss an opportunity with my soulmate?”
“What if this isn’t the perfect job?”
“This church? Or that one?”
As a therapist, I’m privileged to be a part of people’s lives as they explore God’s will, make decisions…and discover the outcomes. And here’s what I’ve learned: the Apostle Paul is right. God WORKS OUT all things according to the purposes of His will. Even things that seem bad (or even horrible) at first. Even our messy, uncertain choices. Not only that, if we are truly His children, He works them out for our good. What a relief!
Over the next year, go make choices and stop being so afraid that you’ll make the wrong one! IF you’ve submitted your life to God, and IF you are seeking His will, then He WILL guide you. It’s what He promises. Even when you don’t feel Him doing so. Even when you don’t have a strong discernment between two possibly good alternatives. Are you really so powerful that your messy choices can alter the destiny God laid out?
I have one thing to say about that:
Pfft!
