Post Haste and the Lonely Island
I just got through reading Post Haste and The Lonely Island. They have been my favorite books so far by Ballantyne. In the Lonely Island, I was intrigued with the exciting plot of the mutineers. I was amazed at how the Word of God was used to change their hearts! The childlike faith of the natives and the mutineers children made me realize how powerful God's Word is in changing the hearts of man. They didn't need fancy sermons our teaching to believe in the promises of God!
I loved reading the extensive details of the telegraph and post service in Post Haste. It was fascinating all the huge volumes of mail that were circulated in Great Britain even then! That is something I really enjoy about Ballantyne books, the research and deep study that he takes you in each book.
Thanks for reprinting these great books, and I look forward seeing more soon! -Melinda
Melinda, I really do like the way Ballantyne wrote The Lonely Island. He did a very good job sticking to the actual fact and history of what happened on Pitcairn Island while spinning a great tale. And it is an amazing witness -- what happened with the people who survived. Thanks for your comment.
More Vision Forum Ballantyne Books
Hi, I was wondering if they can publish more of his books, in the Vision Forum style. I already have the twenty books that they have published, and I love them! I would really appreciate it. Thank you. -Benjamin
Benjamin, Thanks for your request. I am right with you! Currently I am pushing to have another set printed. But, right now, nothing is for sure about new titles being published. I will pass your note on to the publishing team. -Joshua Titus
