A Really Good Read

I am an avid reader of this genre and I loved this book! It ranks as high as Harry Potter, Inkspell, Artemis Fowl, or any other. Unlike those, however, this book gives readers a sense of moral and spiritual values that are lacking in today's society. If youlike fantasy, you will love this book!

"Quest for Asdin" is also a Quest for Truth

Dr. Bush's fantastic adventure story set in the magical land of Spectara is a charming allegory of modern day philosophical development. Writing out of the Christian tradition, Bush tackles the daunting question of how one can confidently advocate a single religious worldview in light of spiritual pluarlism. The result is a triumph that should capture the imagination of a Roman Catholic, conservative Southern Baptist, Hindu spiritualist, or even an agnostic who is still searching for answers. The people of Spectara face an evergrowing darkness which threatens to undermine the traditional values each culture holds dear. In order to save their world, each race contributes an ambassador, similar to that of Frodo Baggins and the Fellowship of the Ring. Throughout the journey, each ambassador learns that their perception of truth does not suffice when confronted with knowledge of foreign beliefs, and, more importantly, is powerless to stop the great evil engulfing their world.When all hope is lost, a hero emerges to challenge the lies of the enemy and sacrifies his life to save his friends. Through this messianic hero, the remnant of Spectara learn that while each culture possessed some fragment of the truth, only the Author and Finisher of creation is the authority on truth, and the only hope of deliverance is to trust in his promises."Quest for Asdin" is a splendid adventure story and the magical land of Spectara pushes the human imagination to the limit. This is a book that demands color illustrations, and hopefully these will be included in future editions. Even in a genre as cluttered as fantasy, Spectara sets itself apart from conventional novels because the landscape is a giant prism of light. At a time when morality and truth are seen in shades of grey, "Quest for Asdin" synthesizes the confusion and paints a bright hope for tomorrow.
