About the Book

Book:  Two Rivers

Author: Michael W. Henry

Genre:  Fiction

Release Date: April 10, 2020

In 1840 Pastor Allen Hartman leaves behind his white-steepled church in New York, and the woman he hopes to marry, to serve as a missionary to Indians in the Oregon Territory. On his epic westward journey, he is plunged into the dark end of spiritual warfare and vital intercession. His mettle is further tested when he’s asked to stay in a village of Arapaho already contending with a malevolent witch doctor—where Allen has to draw upon courage he didn’t know he possessed and discovers ministering to Indians is not at all what he imagined.

Arapaho medicine man Two Rivers knows one thing—the Great Spirit is sending White Falcon to help his people defeat the malicious spiritual forces determined to overpower the tribe. But even as White Falcon teams up with Two Rivers, Allen finds himself enslaved in a cave and in a heaven-meets-earth clash of faith with an evil sorcerer. With his life at stake and his new friends unable to help, will Spirit-led prayers of believers lead to a complete victory, or will something be left undone?

More from Michael

Two Rivers is a story about courageous faith. I wrote it because as a missionary in Mexico, I had experienced spiritual encounters that I felt needed to be shared. A historical fiction seemed the perfect place to demonstrate the power of prayer and cross cultural respect in an authentic way.

My Thoughts

This is the first book that I have read by this author. This book is set in 1840 in the Oregon Territories. This is not a time period that I have read a whole lot on. This book focuses on a young man who is set to begin some missionary work. As he starts his travels - he encounters a lot of "road blocks" in his journey. Pastor Allen will learn how to cast out demons (which I have seen - and is very surreal), and deal with other aspects of spiritual warfare. Pastor Allen is very secure in his calling -and is very obedient to the Holy Spirit. Since he will be a missionary to the Native Americans -this book will deal with witchcraft a bit. However, it is done with grace and God's glory shining through. 

This book is well written, informative and flowed nicely. The author has done great research to educate on Native American culture and religion. 

I received a copy of this book through the Celebrate Lit blogging program. All thoughts are my own.
