Book Review - The Price of Valor

The Global Search and Rescue series from Susan May Warren goes out with a bang... a ka-boom... a ka-plow... and a whole lot of action for the entire team. The Price of Valor focuses on Hamilton Jones; we finally get Ham's book and learn more of his story. I love the way Warren writes her fiction as the story of what God does in the lives of Ham and the people around him. These characters, our GSAR family and friends, build each other up and support each other when things get hairy... and things get hairy in The Price of Valor, for sure!



We learned in The Heart of a Hero (Global Search and Rescue, book 2) that Hamilton Jones has been reunited with the darling daughter his wife Signe kept secret from him. Now he is more convinced than ever that Signe is alive and he is determined to find her, to bring her home, to redeem her to the family they could be together. The choices he has to make are unenviable, and the lessons in forgiveness and redemption are more easily said than done. 


With her trademark realism and frank conversation, Warren handles the struggles we all find in the depths of our human hearts and the truth of our Savior's love, grace, forgiveness. She calls out our own confusion through the struggles of her characters, who tend to feel (like we all do sometimes) that the battle is ours. When we, and they, are tempted to believe that our responsibility is to BE Jesus, we're refocused and reminded that our responsibility is to SHOW Jesus. Her characters may have much greater adventures than I do, but their struggles and lessons they learn are very relevant.

The Price of Valor by Susan May Warren releases October 6, 2020. You can preorder now from your favorite bookseller to make sure your copy lands in your hands ASAP.
