Fire in the Night: The Dark Country Quest

When night falls over the Dark Country, a boy is handed something he doesn't understand: fire.

He has been walking a long time in a darkness so thick it has weight. Then the night splits open, and a fire is placed in his hands. Piece by piece that fire becomes armor — truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, and the sword of the Spirit. But this armor was never forged by human hands. As the boy learns to wear each piece — and as a man in chains waits on a promise that will cost everything to keep — he discovers the secret that changes everything: the armor is the fire, and the fire is a Person.

Fire in the Night: The Dark Country Quest is an illustrated quest through the armor of God in Ephesians 6, written for young readers ages 9–12 who are learning to stand firm in a dark world — an allegory in the tradition of the stories Jesus told, where every road, shadow, and gift stands for something real inside you.
