The Chronicle

of Windwalker

Home

             David Paul has created a world where the creatures know, love and serve Elmigid.  Here, tiny winged men and women fly and sing songs so beautiful it is as if the song is a living thing.  Flowers dance on their roots like ballet slippers.

             Through this novel, you can experience the thrill of flying on the back of

a warrior butterfly and snuggling into the downy feathers of a raven in flight.  Traveling with Tim and Angelina to Talyara is an adventure that will not only excite your imagination, but also challenge you to examine your relationship with God.  Would you be willing to face new and strange challenges that test every fiber of your being in order to serve an unseen master?  Are you willing to trust the goodness and love of God and follow him even into new and unknown places and adventures?

             This is an adventure that teachers will read aloud in classrooms and children will eagerly embrace.  The characters are people and creatures that children as well as adults will relate to in their weaknesses and aspire to be like in their courage.  What a joy to finally have a fantasy that draws your heart toward victory and resurrection.

Now, just when we thought that, after C.S. Lewis, the era of great science fiction/fantasy writing with a Christian dimension was over, comes David Paul’s The Book of Talyara--the Chronicle of Windwalker. This book has it all—a captivating adventure story with embedded insightful (NOT PREACHY) reflections on the meaning of Christian faith and life. It’s a page turner!
