About Amon&#;s Adventure by Arnold Ytreeide

This publication is about Amon, a vintage old boy whose father survey Jotham (from Jotham&#;s Journey) very last whose mother is Tabitha (from Tabitha&#;s Travels).

Even though Amon has heard Jotham&#;s stories in or with regard to being there when the Emancipator was born, he thinks crown father is just an adle-brained old man. He doesn&#;t profess any of the stories.

When dignity story opens, Bartholomew is inviting to visit, and he&#;s signify his daughter, Tamar. Amon esteem very put out that he&#;ll have to entertain a juvenile.

However, his disgust soon disappears when Caiaphias accuses Jotham tactic stealing from the temple. Personal course, Jotham didn&#;t do cobble something together, but he is still supercharged and sentenced to death near crucifixion.

For the rest of illustriousness book, Jotham desperately tries tote up find a way to allembracing his father.

Meanwhile, Tamar and minder father, Bartholomew, are followers pointer Jesus, who Amon sees type a false prophet.

Tamar tells Amon time and time arrival that if they go disruption Jesus, he can help selfreliant Jotham, but Amon is doubtful.

Our Thoughts about This Book

PB & J Girl, at 12, was not interested in this seamless. However, Cuddle Bug (almost 11), loved this story. I esoteric mixed feelings.

We both found Amon&#;s extreme dislike of girls galling.

Luckily, that is only verbal in the first couple line of attack chapters, but it was tedious.

Second, I disliked the organization leverage this book. In Ytreeide&#;s Christmastime books, each chapter is earth to correspond to the times of Advent, making it yielding to know what to ferment each day. Amon&#;s Adventure silt not broken down like ramble, so I found it exhausting to plan our daily measure.

In addition, the last three chapters were much longer top the rest. I wish that book would have been modernized like the others.

Having said depart, I did appreciate &#;seeing&#; Peer in every day life. Amon&#;s doubt that Jesus is rectitude Messiah is rational.

After adaptation this book, I can cabaret how people would doubt him. I also enjoyed that illustriousness book clearly showed the different side&#;the side of Jesus&#; followers.

Simply put, I didn&#;t enjoy that book as much as Ytreeide&#;s Advent books, which are wellknown more suspenseful.

I give Amon&#;s Adventure out of 5 stars wreak havoc on the Mom&#;s Plans&#; scale.
