The Tower: A Story of Humility

I purchased this as a brand new paperback for my mom for Christmas a few years back but now that I have moved, I put it w/all her RPEvans collection, most of which I bought for her, after she gifted me "The Christmas Box " & we saw the film & the Timepiece and Locket together. Though it is a youthful story, I HAD to add it. Mom passed away Christmas 2022, and I inherited her many book collection. We both love his writings and so I bought a new copy which delivered as a brand new hardback. Both copies were brand new and well loved. I am an author of Miracles Stories Anthologies. Now I'm a singular fan of his writing but Mom's spirit lives on in each book and me. I got started on "The Walk" 5 part series. I got 2 of them already!!!!!! I read John Grisham, the original Star Trek, X-Files, Quantum Leap (not new) and Laurien Berensen's doggie & Melanie Travis fun mysteries!!!!!!

I love the book. It is wonderful just like all of Richard Paul Evans books. I haven't read a book of his yet that I didn't like. He is a wonderful author.

This is a wonderful story that your child will want you to read to them over and over. Adults will enjoy it too.,

While Richard Paul Evans' new tale is lovely to read, the gorgeous illustrations are what truly make this book magical. Jonanthan Linton's illustrations are beautiful, inspiring and breathtaking. His realistic paintings are full of color and light. My favorite is of the old woman as she faces the man...you can see the goodness radiating from her face! I have purchased two other Richard Paul Evans' books solely because the illustrations are so amazing! They are, THE DANCE and THE SPYGLASS...most impressive!!

Jonathan Linton provides the illustrations for this story of a young man who wants to be well-known in his village. He constructs a tower which reaches into the sky so all will look up to him - but finds his position a lonely one until fate intervenes. Good reading skills or parental assistance required.

I really admire Richard Paul Evans writing because this original story feels like you're reading a classic folk tale. The story of a man learning to share with others, and put his vanity behind him has never been more timely. Children and adults should take this story to heart. The art is stunning.
