What: Book signing



Barely two months after rescuing Raylin in the Abyss, the final quest begins. The mission? Seal the Spirit of the Age into the Serpent to usher in an era of spiritual awakening. But this will require a battle in the heart of Babylon where the Enemy’s power is greatest. To prepare, Daniel and his friends must first navigate a treacherous path through Babylon itself to find the Gates of Eden—and beyond, the Tree of Purity.

The road is plagued with scores of monstrous demons, and Eden isn’t without challenges of its own. A trial awaits within the fabled garden, one that will either purify a growing darkness within the group … or prove its downfall. Should they triumph, further tribulation looms on the horizon. The Enemy is ready for battle, and in his possession is the Vessels’ greatest weakness. Amid each travail, Daniel clings desperately to the Three’s assurance of hope.

Will their promises sustain him when faced with immeasurable loss?

Daniel and the Trees of Eden is a young adult, Christian fantasy novel focusing on sanctification, reconciliation, and faith amidst tribulation. It is the fourth and final book in the Sons and Daughters series, which includes Daniel and the Sun Sword, Daniel and the Triune Quest, and Daniel and the Serpent’s Abyss.

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?

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!

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?

Serpent’s Abyss Publication and Puzzler!

Daniel and the Serpent’s Abyss is Moving Forward!

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?
