Duncan's War
Set on the moors of Scotland,
Duncan’s War transports the reader into a seventeenth century landscape inhabited by evil, danger, courage, and faith. Young Duncan M’Kethe finds himself caught in the web of Sir James Turner, the former Covenanter turned military leader of the persecutors. Duncan is torn by his hatred of Turner’s Dragoons, who have treated his friends cruelly, and his father’s instructions to love them. Duncan must be true to Jesus Christ while attempting to rescue his father from enemy hands. Paperback. 277 pgs.
"Here is the ideal book to curl up with on a rainy day, or to read on a dark winter night or on a long journey. Duncan's War
will lift you out of today right into the seventeenth century and onto the wild moorlands of southern Scotland. It is a world inhabited by evil, danger, death, courage, and faith, where another red-head - a girl called Lindsey - crosses Duncan's path at just the right time. How Duncan's day-dreams become reality is a story not to be missed."
--Sinclair B. Ferguson
"Enjoy it; learn from it; and be grateful that free from tyranny we have a liberty under God."
--A. Douglas Lamb
"Children need Christian heroes and Doug Bond's splendid book meets that need. It draws from a genuinely heroic time in church history and tells a story that is rooted and grounded in the truth."

King's Arrow
In this exciting sequel to
Duncan’s War, author Bond masterfully weaves the voices of Samuel Rutherford and John Knox into the historical tapestry of war, civil disobedience, rebellion, justice, a father’s love, and family devotion. A ready archer, Angus M’Kethe, Duncan’s younger brother, matches wits in a life-and-death struggle against the Highlanders. But desperate fear grips the clan with an unexpected murder. Will the Covenanters be found guilty? Angus’ true test of manhood and marksmanship comes at the battle of Drumclog. Paperback. 215 pgs.
"Doug Bond's novels do more than entertain. They educate. Bond weaves the voices of Samuel Rutherford and John Knox into the historical tapestry of war, civil disobedience, rebellion, justice, father's love and family devotion. The books are for boys, but this boy of 60 found himself rooting for Duncan and Angus in the heather of the highlands. Good stuff to help young teens understand current foreign affairs."
--Robert Case, Director, World Journalism

--J. Ligon Duncan III
