Synopsis

LION HEART & ALESSIO: THE VICTORY RIDE (BOOK 1) MISSION LOVE & JOY is an educational and quirky adventure about faith, family, and the struggles we must overcome to live a victorious life. The diverse characters in the series go through a transformation where they learn what it means to be accepted by Jesus, not because we follow religious, man-made rules, but by believing in Jesus and inviting Him into our hearts. As the characters accept Jesus as their personal Savior, they receive supernatural powers enabling them to spread this wonderful truth: The Good News. Readers will fill up on Scripture and have a blast doing it as they learn to become superheroes of faith. The author recommends that her series be used as a read-aloud with parents or teachers so sensitive topics can be discussed. Discussion questions and coloring pages are available on her website: meganjoychapman.com.

Jed's stoked because he's finally old enough to enter the Victory Ride skateboarding competition with his older cousin and best friend, Mak. But when he finds out that Mak and his family are moving to Greece, Jed's dreams kickflip out of his control. In his devastation over Mak's move, Jed decides to quit skateboarding. But after a mysterious encounter, Jed and Mak receive an ancient treasure that comes with supernatural powers. Transformed into warriors named Lion Heart& Alessio, Jed and Mak are sent on a spirit-filled adventure, together, that they never thought was possible.

About this title

From the Author

My hope from the beginning was that my youth series, Lion Heart & Alessio: The Victory Ride, would draw families together, and that readers would be able to identify with at least one of the many diverse characters throughout the story including two superhero skateboarders, a surfer, fashion designer, an artist, dancer, retired circus performer, accountant, scientist, a grandma and grandpa and many more. There is something for everyone in this Bible-based family redemption story. I recommend that my series be read aloud with parents so sensitive topics can be discussed. Discussion questions are available on my website.

From the Inside Flap

In this book it's amazing how God intervenes through a dream to connect with a child. I believe God can use this book to inspire children of all ages to seek God and discover their dreams as well as God's dreams for them. This is much needed in literature for young people in this day and age. Children are dreamers and we need to give them something to dream about . . . and that's living for the Lord Jesus Christ.

In this day and age with books all about this, and all about that, one thing has to be central for me to even consider a read, let alone recommend it to someone. Christ has to be central! In just one chapter as I encountered Jed, Mak, and their love for skateboarding, I was more than excited to see God's fabulous work through His One and Only Son boldly and beautifully presented as really He is. Jesus and skateboarding? Need I say more?
