Life changing in every way!

Sometimes, the smallest items can make the most impact! This book maybe small, but it is mighty! I will forever carry this book with me wherever I go. And it may seem intense to say something like that… but its teachings are bold and enthusiastic! Our world needs more of what this book brings! Hope!

Absolutely Amazing

I just finished this book today and honestly wish I would've read this book years ago. I loved every page, I have always loved older cultures and the truth and guidance in this book aswell as the history is astonishing. I will definitely be reading this throughout my life. Respect go the knight who wrote the letters and Ethan and his team for piecing it together to make this boo, you've practically refurbished history.

Beautiful story with lots of positive messages

This is a really lovely story. I just love all of Ethan Hawke's books and this one in particular is a very uplifting read.

A gift for young men

This book is my go-to coming of age gift for boys around age 13. It’s such a well laid set of qualities & good character for a young man, or anyone for that matter. The narration piece that accompanies each topic is well written and the overarching story from this knight’s life alongside “Grandfather” is engaging. I highly recommend this book for character building in short lessons.
