Stubbornly, she
curled her fingers into a fist, unwilling to let go, not when everything inside
her was begging her to heed God’s message – trust, listen, remember. “I can’t
remember,” she whispered. “I tried, but I just can’t remember. If it’s so
important…help?”
Genre: Speculative Fiction
Target Audience: Girls and Boys 11-15
Subjects: Angels, Family Relationships,
Friendship, Spiritual Warfare, Trust in God
Summary: Christmas is coming! There is
every reason to be excited, but Prissie finds reasons to not be overly excited.
The angels she has come to care about are involved in some serious battles. An
angel has been taken by the evil ones and the search for what is hidden is
heating up. A powerful fallen angel is in the area and is creating all kinds of
trouble. In the midst of it, Prissie is being challenged on all fronts to view
the people around her the way God does, including those she dislikes. When the
battle culminates on Christmas Prissie has an important role to play.
Notes: The Broken Window is the third
in a kid-friendly series dealing with serious issues such as spiritual warfare.
In this third book, Prissy, a fourteen year old girl is beginning to understand
a bit more of what it means to follow God and live His way and see others the
way He does. It’s also a picture of friendship and what it means to truly be a
good friend. Like other speculative fiction, it speculates “what if”, in this
case, “what if someone could see all the angels around them and could interact
with them”. But it does a good job carefully not doing anything to contradict
Scripture in its speculations, but rather teaches and enforces Biblical
concepts. I highly recommend this to upper elementary and young teens.
