“Reader Beware: Peril Lies Ahead! Kathryn Butler has written a fast-paced adventure story that introduces brave readers to profound truths about the Christian quest. In Escape from Rome foolish choices often lead to sorrow, and wise choices sometimes yield feasts and joyful reunions. Just like in life, though, circumstances can also spiral beyond the chooser’s control—for good or ill. And sometimes the miracles of redemption and forgiveness intervene, both where they are sought and where they are least expected. Whatever perils you face as you battle lions, gladiators, and flames in these pages, dear reader, you can trust your character’s fate in the hands of this gifted storyteller who points all endings to the sovereignty and love of God.”
Ginger M. Blomberg, author, Charlie and the Preschool Prodigal; mother of five

“The Lamplight Series captures all the adventure and excitement of the ‘choose-your-own’ books we loved as children yet thoughtfully remains grounded in a biblical worldview. Readers will return again and again to explore new paths, carefully considering how each choice shapes the outcome. A thrilling and delightful read!”
