Check out some of these Editorial Reviews....
"Well done! A scripturally faithful, and yet realistically creative work. We
tend to think of the men and women of old as sanctified cavemen. You brought
them to life before our mind's eye. You should have seen my kids faces when I
got to the last chapter and put it on hold till the next night. They couldn't
believe what I was doing to them. We pray God's blessings on your work, will be
happy to endorse it, and most importantly, look forward to the next book in the
Peleg Chronicles." --Homeschooling Today Magazine, Steve Murphy,
Publisher
"Bible-believing Christians will get a bang out of this book. It re-supposes early human history in a refreshing way, and spins a bundle of intertwined yarns that are entertaining and imaginative. Its heroes depend on the Lord for help. Unlike other fantasy works, this one contains no magic, no evolution, and no humanism." --The Christian Fantasy Review, Phyllis Wheeler
"It is refreshing to be entertained by a story that has faith in God as its centerpiece. Matthew Harding, in his book Foundlings, portrays a fantasy epic that is both compelling and God-honoring. The tale entertains, uplifts and inspires readers of all ages. But most importantly, it fosters a Biblical worldview and Godly character into the hearts and minds of our youth." --Squires2Knights Ministries, Jeff Purkiss, founder and author
