What a joy it has been to follow Queen Red and Fox! The Great Destroyer is the final book in the Red Fairy and Fox Adventures series by Courtney Denelsbeck, releasing on December 11, 2024.

Many thanks to the author for providing a complimentary copy of this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.

Book Synopsis

The power to rid the world of evil comes with strings, one of which is to resist peeking into the past.

When Queen Red’s desire to see her parents leads her down a dangerous path, she risks losing everything she holds dear. Meanwhile, Oliver must navigate his abandoned, cursed kingdom and the implications of the Creator’s words on his life as they uncover the mysteries of Red’s magic.

Drexel forms treacherous alliances and faces his own inner demons as he fights to reclaim his kingdom. When their worlds collide, Red, Oliver, Fox, and Drexel must join forces to defeat a powerful evil that threatens to destroy them all. Will they have the strength to prevail, or will the darkness consume them?

Book Thoughts

What an enthralling adventure this book takes you on as it continues to follow Queen Red and King Oliver in their quest to lift the curses off their kingdoms. I love that this series not only answers many of the questions around hollows and the darkness that covers the land, but that it introduces the creation story in a powerful allegory for readers. I couldn't help but be immersed in these worlds that are seeking to undo the effects of Genesis 3 while unraveling multiple plot lines. Courtney Denelsbeck does a splendid job of engaging the imagination through her creative drawings and animal descriptions while diving into the hearts of Queen Red, King Oliver, Fox, and many other characters.

Everything is well-balanced out between the plot, the people, and the spectacular places the author has envisioned. The faith arc is profound and well worth waiting for throughout the three books. In fact, these are the types of books I would have loved to escape to as a child or youth to further understand just what it means for God to make all things right again. This epic series has a conclusion that tugs at your heart and brings meaning to everything that Queen Red and Fox have gone through. If you're looking to share the gift of a Christian allegorical fantasy series that is both inventive and innocent, I recommend all of the Red Fairy and Fox Adventures for youth and adults alike.

Review: Another Gospel?

Having listened to Alisa Childers ' podcast over the years, I really enjoyed "chewing" my way through her debut book, Another Gospel? A Lifelong Christian Seeks Truth in Response to Progressive Christianity . It's taken me so long that she's now onto her third book! 😂 Book Synopsis A Movement Seeks to Redefine Christianity. Some Think that It Is a Much-Needed Progressive Reformation. Others Believe that It Is an Attack on Historic Christianity. Alisa Childers never thought she would question her Christian faith. She was raised in a Christian home, where she had seen her mom and dad feed the hungry, clothe the homeless, and love the outcast. She had witnessed God at work and then had dedicated her own life to leading worship, as part of the popular Christian band ZOEgirl. All that was deeply challenged when she met a progressive pastor, who called himself a hopeful agnostic. Another Gospel? describes the intellectual journey Alisa took over several years as she wr...

Review: For Us

If you've been following April Barcalow for some time, you'll be just as excited to know that she has recently released a marriage devotional. Newsletter subscribers can receive a free copy, and you can learn more about the background of For Us: Seeking God's Heart for Marriage on her website. Many thanks to the author for providing a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions are my own. Book Synopsis All throughout Scripture, when God wants us to understand the close, intimate relationship He longs to have with us, He uses the imagery of marriage. That’s no coincidence. Marriage is an echo of the lasting love we share with Him, a framework to help us understand, and a gift. But good marriage, the kind that reflects Him, doesn’t happen without intention. Without building each piece on the solid foundation of Christ. Without choosing one another, even when it’s hard. This 30-day devotional weaves together Scripture, personal experience, and story threads to seek God’s ...
