LONGWOOD, FL-Picking up where Secrets in the Attic left off, David and Debbie Paton's Missing Pieces ($21.99, paperback, 978-1-60477-193-0) chronicles the adventures of Carl Wilson, son of Mark Wilson. Carl is about to embark on his quest to bring back his grandparents, two missing pieces to a complete family. But will this young man in his teens survive a trip into the city when all he knows is wilderness living and nothing of the modern world? Setting out for the cold, dark, gray city with only a few clues on how to find his grandparents is only half the battle. Will his grandparents believe who he says he is? Will they turn him in to the state? What about the dangers of getting caught? These questions and more run through Carl's mind as he prepares to seek out the missing pieces of his family.
Designed as the second book of a three-part series, Missing Pieces is a fictional story with a lot of gospel truth in it. Says David Paton, one of the co-authors, "Christians need to be ready for the persecution coming their way. As the world's economy gets worse, certain people groups will feel the pressure economically first. In my Christian walk, I have experienced persecution, starting with my family and friends rejecting me and calling me names. Also at work, higher work standards were placed on me, hoping I would fail. Still, this is nothing compared to what I think we will face as we get closer to the end times."
This thought-provoking, adventuresome, fun, and enjoyable read will ground readers in their faith and sear the Bible in their heart. The Patons believes this is especially important given the fact we are approaching the end times; they feel a strong knowledge of God's Word will reinforce people as they find strength in God throughout the difficult times that lay ahead.
