About Craig Dressler

I spent many years searching for peace and only found it once I made Jesus Christ my Savior and Lord. Since then I have taught overseas and in Christian institutions in the U.S. In addition  I have written several books including Heart of Terror, Never Fail: Success Strategies, a Western entitled Standing Elk as well as Hafren: A Fantasy for the Young at Heart and Character Concert, two works for teens. Lastly, some years ago a started Unreached Peoples' Missions, a nonprofit organization, which mainly supplies Bibles to national ministries in Southeast Asia.

My Thoughts

Shuh and Ufh, two youths set out on a quest for the good of all.  The Horroh are planning on attacking surrounding lands.  The two youth from Huhland must warn the others.  Each place they went they were held as captives until the message they delivered  is proven to be true.  It is a harrowing adventure with much danger  to self along treacherous terrain.  There is also a creature called a Garrow that comes up from the sea and burrows tunnels and destroys and kills everything that gets in it's way. 

Along their journey pride tends to foil their intentions and the evil they seek to destroy gets a stronghold whenever pride is evident.  

In this book the author teaches that  becoming prideful can lead us into temptation.  But if we present ourselves with humility it leads us to righteousness.  Asking God for forgiveness will restore humility and help us to defeat evil within us and in the world.  

We must trust in God and endure our trials and tribulations with patience and prayer.  God is there every step of the way.

Okay young people let's put on the Armor of God and battle the temptations of evil at every turn!   Reading this book will help you find the way.

How would you describe your Happily Ever After? 

I highly recommend this book.

I rated this book a 4 out of 5.  Only because I had a hard time getting past the first few pages. So don't   make the same mistake I did by assuming the whole book would not be interesting.  As I continued to read I found it to be an enjoyable read with an inspiring message. I would very much have liked some colorful illustrations depicting the characters and there surroundings.  I had a hard time getting an image of the characters in my mind.
