Max Moment: Milestone and Reviews

A couple weeks ago I typed out the final words in the first draft of the second (as yet unnamed) Missionary Max book. I have to say, I'm more excited about this one than I was the first...there is nonstop adventure, action, and some pretty surprising twists. They were even surprising to me.

If all goes according to plan, I will finish the editing process in the next couple of weeks, and send it off to the publisher.

In the mean time, if you haven't read the first book, you can get it here (affiliate link) and here (remember, it comes in three parts).

Need a little convincing? Here is a list of some of the more recent reviews of this book:

Fundamentally Reformed wrote a great review, the followed it up with an interview.

Bible Geek Gone Wild called The Astonishing Adventures of Missionary Max "a fun-filled adventure story with enough peril and intrigue to keep readers on the edge of their seats."

Coralie at Life More Abundant says it is a "surprisingly enjoyable read".

If you are interested in reviewing The Astonishing Adventures of Missionary Max on your own blog or website, please let me know in the comments section, and I will send you your very own copy, free of charge.

Max Moment: Another Great Review

It's been a while since we have featured a review of The Astonishing Adventures of Missionary Max here. Stepping up to end the drought is Shaun at Bible Geek Gone Wild, who posted a very generous review of the book earlier this week.

Money quote:

The Astonishing Adventures of Missionary Max is a fun-filled adventure story with enough peril and intrigue to keep readers on the edge of their seats. Once I got into the story, I simply couldn’t put it down and finished it in one sitting.

Thanks Shaun!

Max Moment: The Hawker Hart

In Max's first adventures on Cabrito, a World War Two airplane called the "Hawker Hart" plays a key role. Here is what the book has to say about the plane:

"The Hawker Hart was an airplane whose time never came. A sturdy biplane built by Great Britain between the Wars, it came in both fighter and bomber versions. By the opening of hostilities, however, it was hopelessly obsolete--no match for the Japanese Zeros or German Messerschmitts. Still, the hardy planes were put to use in behind-the-lines operations, and in the defense of places that had little chance of being attacked.

"Made out of metal--not the flimsy canvas of World War I-era planes--the two-seater Hawker Hart was different in other ways as well. Its nose came to a sharp point, and in contrast to the usual arrangement, the pilot sat in front while the passenger sat in back. The passenger seat was also equipped with an air-cooled machine-gun, giving the plane a sting as well as a bite."

For more detailed information on this fascinating plane, check out this site, which includes an in-depth history as well as updates on several restoration projects.

And of course, if you are interested in knowing how this figures in to the story of a missionary on a tropical island, read The Astonishing Adventures of Missionary Max.
