An Adventure in Mysticism by Don Mardak

Review
Don Mardak's "An Adventure in Mysticism" is a fictional story with deep spiritual principles.

It is the first book in Mardak's Grand Circle series. The book is broken in to two parts. The first part follows the main character Eric as he moves along his spiritual journey in search of "Truth." This part of the book is part fantasy, part suspense, with lots of spirituality and humor thrown in.

The second part of the book is "The GOSPEL According to I AM." This portion of the book has more of an academic feel to it with lots of Biblical references. While reading this book, I felt like I was getting a very dynamic experience. I was entertained, I was laughing, and I was thinking/reflecting. In part 1 of this book, Mardak gives you a light-hearted, approachable take on spiritual growth, broadening the accessibility of the topic. I know many of us are interested in spiritual growth, but are turned off by dense, stuffy books. "An Adventure in Mysticism" is the remedy.

Readers will think about things differently after reading the book. This is a must-read for anyone interested in spiritual growth. Fortunately for eager fans, the next book in the series, "Armageddon and the 4th Timeline," is available now.

The Meeting on the Moon by Fran Clark

Review
"The Meeting On The Moon" by Fran Clark is a young adult Christian novel that deals with the growing problem of bullying with compelling characters and an engaging story.

The story is about eleven-year-old Andrew Carmichael, a victim of bullying. Although he is athletic, intelligent, and likable, the school bully, Luke, targets Andrew on a daily basis, verbally and physically abusing him. The situation haunts Andrew constantly, and he doesn't know who to talk to or what to say.Clark writes dynamic, true-to-life characters; you'll find yourself feeling for Luke as he struggles with the bullying.

The writing is perfect for young readers (although adults can enjoy it, too), with great dialogue and age-appropriate vocabulary.

The plot is easy to keep reading, yet affecting, and does not feel overtly like a lesson (although there is so much to be learned from the novel). As a Christian book, Clark does an excellent job describing how Andrew turns to his faith to find strength for dealing with the bullying.

Overall, if you're looking for a powerful, well-written book on faith and bullying, "The Meeting on the Moon" is the perfect book for you.
