Do you struggle to get victory over the trials of life? Would you like to know how God's choice servants found triumph in they trials? Every person goes through trouble, even those who are closest to God. Some let the trials defeat them and some rise up on the trials to find joy and blessings. In Seizing Triumph from Trials Author Rick Carter Jr. Ph.D. examines the lives of the great patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph to see how each of these men of Fatih responded to trials and what their responses can teach us about facing the trials of life. It has been said that everyone is entering, going through or just leaving a trial, but how we respond to them will determine our future. By learning the lessons contained in the lives of these men, you can seize triumph from the trials of your life.

Keri, the blacksmith's son, hoped for a little more time between his first kiss and his last, but war and the weather wouldn't wait. One of thirty drafted, he and his friends find their stumbling romances are interrupted by a desperate forty-day trek through a snow-buried wilderness to the king. Disasters both natural and man-made defy their passage. Then the wolfpack shows up: unnaturally large, unnaturally led, unnaturally anxious to stop them. Blood in the snow forces an unsteady Keri into physical and spiritual leadership roles he must master immediately... or die.Placed in Viking Russia, The Ballad of the Blacksmith's Son is a YA adventure following village youth through a new imposed faith, a new future, and the challenges of new bodies with new desires. Haunted by a mute orphan and a one-eyed madman, Keri tries to juggle Christian ideals, secular wisdom, and patriotic duty both at home and into a battle with nature. Author Rick Taylor draws on his military and teaching careers to bring his characters to life. ("I stole their dialogue!") He uses his spiritual and literary background to surround them with layers of meaning.
