Lions for Ajax

“This poignant work of fiction offers lived experience and sharp theology on a weighty subject: how to parent, shepherd, disciple, and love a child who hates that God made him a boy. This child does not live in a microcosm, but rather, a feet-on-the-floor, gritty Christian family. In the end, the hurt boy becomes the healed boy by learning to follow the crucified Christ. Christian fiction of this merit can heal us of our deepest fears. This book deserves the highest praise and the widest possible readership.”

“This work of fiction can encourage parents who struggle to teach children whose hearts seem to be closed to other methods of instruction. I hope many will follow in Nancy’s footsteps in using storyteling to bring light to hard issues in creative ways.”

“Lions for Ajax weaves the different perspectives of the characters into a beautiful story that applies important teachings of the Bible to family life. I felt as if I was invited to be a part of the Trellert family, seeing firsthand how Joe and Lisa interact with their children and neighbors. This book gave me a model for discipling my family. It will also help me in my interactions with the non-Christian world—present biblical help in a loving way. Thank you, Nancy, for writing this wonderful and encouraging book. ”
