This week we have several bloggers participating in a book review blog tour for Nate Saint: Operation Auca by Nancy Drummond. Links to the reviews will appear below as they are available:
“If you are looking for a great and encouraging biography that will spur you closer to Jesus then this is a great one for you and your kids.”
Reviewer: Angela Parsley (refreshmysoulblog.blogspot.com)
Rating: 5 Stars
“Throughout the book, Drummond weaves the story of God’s sovereignty in Nate’s life, and his willingness to sacrifice for others. This book will encourage young readers to think BIG, as they see how God used Nate, an ordinary boy who loved airplanes to change the lives of the Aucas by showing them the love of Christ.”
Reviewer: Claire Efird (saltshakeronline.net)
Rating: 5 Stars
“I would highly recommend this book for all young people. It would serve well as a home-school resource and would lend itself well for children to do a book report on it. I look forward to reading the other books in the Torch Bearers series and would be happy to keep the collection in my library for my children.”

“If your young reader has not read or heard about Nate Saint, this is a must read. Drummond does an excellent job of demonstrating Nate’s faith, his love and passion for his call in life, and compassion for people. Drummond does this all in easy to read and easy to follow story that clearly captures Nate’s passion… I definitely recommend this book and hope that it captures the heart and spirit of a new generation who follows their dreams risking it all for their first love. I give this book five out of five stars.”

“I highly recommend reading this to your younger children as long as you prepare them for the scene where Nate and his friends give up their lives. Otherwise, older children, youth and adults will all be challenged to examine their hearts and determine whether they are willing to follow Christ completely.”

“The story of Nate Saint is remarkable one for anyone interested in knowing what it looks like for a man to follow Christ, to use his gifts, and to love his fellow man regardless of what they can do for him. Nancy Drummond has written an accessible mini-biography of Saint’s life for children ages 7 and up to dive into.”
