Deliverance

A realistic breath of fresh air, just as the previous two novels in this series were. In three words: I loved it. You will fall in love with each character. I dare anybody to read it and not. The writing is so great and vivid that a non-stop movie plays in your mind, in which every emotion is engaged. I cannot wait for the 4th of the series!

What Jefferson Scott has written is his most detailed and consistant series yet!This book was amazing and a must for the series.This book is real, relevant and informative.CANNOT WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONE!?

Jefferson Scott makes his own paths through the forest of Christian fiction. Rather than rely on tried--and tired--formulas, he creates series with freshness, warmth, and realism.In the Firebrand series, he introduces us to a makeshift team of military experts who visit the world's trouble spots, offering physical and spiritual might to deal with problems. The first book revealed the members of the team and transported them to a Russian satellite country. The second book made us love the characters and their snappy dialogue, then whisked them into the the troubles of an African territory.In this third book, Jefferson Scott tackles the dark and difficult times that Christians face in North Korea. The story is a sobering and educational call for prayer and aid to our brothers and sisters in this closed country. Despite gritty details of suffering, Scott uses the warm personalities of his Firebrand team and the faithful demeanors of the Koreans to keep the story from falling under its own weight. When the team is called to rescue a group of North Koreans headed back to prison and torture, they respond with courage. Although a few scenes seem to be missing important details about border crossings and derring-do, the plot races through China and Korea. With chilling moments, warmth and romance, and a final understanding of God's miraculous involvement in our lives, this is a book to savor.If you haven't read the previous books, go back and start at the beginning. If you're already a fan, "Deliverance" is required reading. It is the pinnacle of the series.

Jefferson Scott, please say it ain't so! Please tell me this wasn't the last Firebrand book! Incredible 3 books! In this one, Scott throws a big league hook at you by switching the narration between 2 people, himself and a lady named who is pregnant named Chun-Mi, and he succeeds! In this book, surprise! Jason Kromer is engaged! And to whom, might you ask? Well, the one and only Trieu Nguyen! Eloise sends them this time to Korea, possiby their most dangerous mission yet. Out of all the Firebrand books, this one touched my heart and I'll tell you why. It had to do with how Garth got so attached to little Ki-Won. How Lewis, who couldn't stand to see a little guy suffer, even over puzzle shapes, made him new ones, and how Ki-won fell in love with his new buddies. I think if I were in Garth's situation I would at some point in time feel the rage like he did when Ki-Won was kidnapped and there seemed to be nothing he could do about it. I also was moved by Chris in this by his adoration of Myong-Chol, the former prison guard. I'm pretty sure that in the last Firebrand, Veggie Tales were used to identify one another. This one used Lord of the Rings. Chimp was Gandalf and one person, whom you'll have to read the book to find out, referred to herself as the White Lady. And Mr. Scott, if you think I wasn't paying attention, I did notice the title of chapter 20, 'You Shall Not Pass': BRILLIANT! This is typical Jefferson Scott humor in this series, and it is what I've personally come to love about them. That and the way that the team depends on God. This is a series that hits you in the chest and even possibly makes you a little more human. Now that this series is over, I've gotta find Jefferson Scott's other books! And I will find them!
