Jungle Prophet - by Sharon R Swan (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

"Honor from ashes."

Would you choose to gain what you wanted most if the price was a broken promise? Giran travels north to convince other cats to resettle in Sanchia: a jungle region suffering from a lack of predators. Tragedy strikes and plunges him into the midst of a brutal tribal conflict. Amid the carnage of war, Giran finds love and acceptance. But now-he must make an unthinkable choice.

Sanchia is starving! Rhett battles to ease the suffering and keep order but is thwarted at every turn by the vindictive snake, Fatima. Anarchy threatens his beloved home where sometimes the right path is hidden by the weeds of good intentions.

Endorsement:

In the tradition of C.S. Lewis, Sharon Swan presents the readers of her novels with biblical truths wrapped in engaging stories. I am happy to commend her latest work, Jungle Prophet: Into the Fire.

In the book Jungle Prophet: Into the Fire, jungle animals take on human characteristics. Love, hate, jealousy, forgiveness, deception, self-reliance, and self-sacrifice are shown as the animals try to find their way through grim times. Filled with action and romance, the book captivates readers of both sexes. Written for the young teen, the symbolism showing God's love shines through. The accurate descriptions of the animals and topography of the Amazon Jungle are refreshing. The questions at the end of each chapter lead the reader to self-reflection and make the book an excellent discussion guide for teen leaders.

The sequel to Sharon Swan's Jungle Prophet is as fast-paced, vivid, and gripping as the original. Jungle Prophet: Into the Fire recasts the battle of good and evil, set in the Amazon jungle, and follows the new Prophet Rhett, who is humble, chosen, and prone to self-doubt (thus reminiscent of Moses) as he tries to rule and protect a diverse, endangered animal kingdom, in accordance with divine law. Fast-paced, meaningful action and engaging characters will capture a preteen's imagination. The clarity of description, fresh and vivid metaphors, and clear, crisp prose are coupled with a bonus: Swan ends each chapter with thought-provoking questions to lead young readers to more deeply and personally enter the story and its meaning. I definitely recommend.

I enjoyed the allegorical aspects of the world created in Jungle Prophet: Into the Fire. The theme was easy to understand, and the story included interesting animal characters. The fast-moving plot made me want to find out what happened next; I read it in two days.
