Customer Reviews

Outstanding combination of history, intrigue & romance

Set in southern France in the early 1960's, Two Crosses is a fast-paced drama that allows one to realistically enter the lives of the Americans, French and Arabs living in & around Montpellier as they respond to each other and the joys, trials & sorrows of living during the French-Algerian War. The author's characterizations are rich and the plot is full of unexpected twists and turns, making it one of those 'hard-to-put-down' novels. The honesty with which the characters wrestle with issues of pride, faith, doubt, life and death makes this Christian fiction novel a must-read for those who long for something deeper than just 'romance'. Outstanding!

In-depth look at living out one's faith without easy answers

Set at the end of the French-Algerian War in the early 60's, Two Crosses struggles with the reality of living out one's faith when situations and people aren't perfect, which is always the case. You won't find Christian cliches or easy answers, but you will find a book chocked full of little- known facts about Protestantism, and Hugenots in particular. Catholicism and the Jewish faith are treated with dignity as well. Elizabeth Musser is a missionary in southern France and is knowledgeable of the people and the area. I have her e- mail, should you like it, and I can vouch for her character! A sequel, entitled Two Testaments, is due out in the next year.

Full of history & amp; action-a great read

Action takes place at end of French- Algerian war- a tangle of the horrors of war,a love story, a testing of faith and several sub plots with unexpected endings. Good reading with more to follow
