What Readers are saying:
“If you like dogs and outdoor adventure, this is the book for you. This is wholesome reading for age ten and up. When a child is lost in mountainous back-country, Joseph and his dog Moon take us on an adventure that is full of challenges as they track the lost child. They encounter natural hazards as well as human dangers and Joseph often depends on his faith in prayer to navigate the threats. The reader will learn a bit about the art of tracking as well as the challenges of surviving in harsh mountain environment. This would be an excellent addition to a classroom library or home-schooling program.” L.S.
“This has just the right amount of tension and calm. With several easy-to-follow plots, it is hard to put down. The Christian message comes out naturally as do the many tidbits about things in the out-of-doors, survival and tracking. As one of the main characters states, “Well, today I’m a little less dumb than I was yesterday.” A refreshing novel.” AD
“This one is my favorite out of the Moondog series so far (Race for the Son). I think it would make a good movie.” PK
I was instantly captivated by this series of books from the moment I read the first paragraph of Moondog Forever Free. I laughed, I cried, I felt fear and momentary sadness as the writing drew me in to what Joseph and the other characters in the book were experiencing. The books are filled with faith, love and trust. And I was encouraged by the biblical scriptures.
The adventure the books took me on through the story-line of God’s love, the love of family and friends, and the bond between humans and our animals was heartwarming. The characters were so vivid. I related to Joseph, Moon, Rocky, Skip and Sarah, and I think that the books should be made into a movie.
The day that I gave my life to God, and accepted Jesus as my Savior was the day my life changed forever.
The books are comforting and one that everyone should experience. Thank you, Thomas, for these wonderful books of faith and hope. BT
