Wisdom Hunter by Randall Arthur with a Back Cover Review


Pastor Jason Faircloth knows what he believes. His clear faith, in fact, is why he is one of the most prominent pastors in Atlanta. He relies on it to discipline his daughter, his wife, his church. He prays daily that others would come to see God’s ways as he does.
And it is about to cost him everything.
Groping for answers in the face of tragedy, Jason begins a search for the only family he has left: the granddaughter kept hidden from him. Soon he finds himself on an international adventure that will take him straight into the depths of his soul. He is determined not to fail again.
A fast-paced suspense novel rich in spiritual depth, Wisdom Hunter explores what it means to break free of Christian legalism—and discover why grace can mean the difference between life and death.

ABOUT Randall Arthur:
Randall Arthur is the bestselling author of Jordan’s Crossing and Brotherhood of Betrayal. He and his wife have served as missionaries to Europe for over thirty years. From 1976 till 1998, he lived in Norway and Germany as a church planter. Since 2000, he has taken numerous missions teams from the United States on trips all over Europe. Arthur is also the founder of the AOK (Acts of Kindness) Bikers’ Fellowship, a group of men who enjoy the sport of motorcycling. He and his family live in Atlanta, Georgia.

Back Cover Review:
Wisdom Hunter is about more than legalism – an issue that still holds the church in an iron grip today. And not just in America, the sickness has spread abroad too.

Whether the author intended it to or not, it also asks the questions: Is the way we experience church the way it was meant to be? Are Pastors fulfilling their roles? Is seminary preparing future ministers to encourage spiritual growth in others or to fulfill only the role their denomination expects them to play?

It says so much without ever erring on the side of being preachy. It is solid and down-to-earth. It is a thought-provoking and stirring book that will needle its way into your heart and thoughts.

I identified with his characters so strongly that, twenty-four hours later when I thought about the ending, it brought tears to my eyes – now that is a connection that every writer wants to form with their reader!
