Description
WILL HE HAVE TO CHOOSE?
Razim's family are Muslim. His best friend, Daniel, is Christian. It's never mattered before. But now Razim's brother has become a crazed Islamic extremist and Daniel has turned into a total Jesus freak-and Razim is caught in the middle.
When Razim stumbles across a prayer card of an old man with brown skin just like his, who seems mind-bogglingly happy that he's being eaten by lions, Razim's curiosity overflows.
What could possibly make a man happy to face his own death?
And will Razim have to risk his own to find out?
PRAISE FOR A LION FOR A TOMB
I found A Lion for a Tomb profoundly entertaining, enlightening and educational. My 15-year-old son read it aloud to his younger siblings who hung on every word. I deeply admire what the author has accomplished.
SARAH ROBSDOTTIR, two time Catholic Media Association Award winner & author of Brave Water
A Lion for a Tomb captivates readers, drawing them in and holding their attention.
ANDREA JO RODGERS, author of Heaven-Sent Miracles and Rescues
I loved this, start to finish. Fast read, beautifully written, relatable, with plenty of twists. Turner deftly weaves the wisdom and heroism of Ignatius into the modern life and struggles of teenage characters who are easy to care about and root for. I was immediately drawn into Raz and Daniel's world and friendship, and the strength of that friendship makes me want to keep reading again and again. If anyone has ever wondered what Saints who lived thousands of years ago have to do with their own lives, this book answers in spades!
NANCY BECHEL, YA editor at CatholicReads.com
Every book in the Friends in High Places series weaves the life of a saint into the life of a modern teen. In A Lion for a Tomb, Corinna Turner tells the story of St Ignatius of Antioch, making this early martyr a believable inspiration for a young man facing an incredibly difficult choice.
MARIE KEISER, Author of Heaven's Hunter
A Lion for a Tomb can be read on its own, but is the fourth book in the Friends in High Places series. The series is Parental Guidance since it contains some mature themes.
Friends in High Places is a short fiction series that presents saints' biographies in the context of imaginary teenagers' lives. The stories are written primarily to entertain, with inspiration and education thrown in for free!
