SILVER WINNER OF THE 2023 ICBA

Young Adult Christian Fiction Category!  

— ICBA JUDGE PANEL

Rev. James Darnell, Jr. spent his life traveling with his missionary parents to Africa.  This fictional book contains remnants of real life situations, intertwined with fictional flair in order to create a very unique story.  Some things you wouldn't think were true, were and other things you would think were true, weren't.  

The imaginative journey this story takes the reader on is one worth going on.  This is unlike any book, and through even the oddest parts, God is still the lesson within each fictional experience.    When you think your day is a bit tough, read how the characters in Lightning Butterflies encountered a Puff Adder, a Green Mamba and Army Ants, and suddenly your day is put into perspective and it doesn't look as bad as originally thought.  

The cultural rituals and beliefs of the African setting really stand out and form a unique framework for this entertaining Christian book about salvation.
