The ride is exciting. The characters real and engaging.” —Charlene Hecht, BA Music Education, Longtime writer, including “Gunsmoke” Fan Fiction“M.F. Erler skillfully pioneers a new writing genre, mixing elements of science fiction, dimensional time-travel, and modern Christian spirituality. She uses likeable characters in well-crafted settings in which we can identify with their real-life struggles.”—Richard Bartlett, MA, PhD“...[M.F.] Erler’s book, with its futuristic sci-fi focus and true-to-life grittiness, is not your typical Christian novel. At times, it unabashedly describes the realities of the darkness of humanity in order to contrast it with the power of hope and love found in God’s grace. This unique book is well worth your time to read and I highly recommend it.” —Pastor Kevin Bueltmann, Trinity Lutheran Church - Associate Pastor, Trinity Lutheran Camp - Executive DirectorMF ErlerPeaksAndBeyond.comFor readers of all ages, The Peaks Saga (7 book series)Clean Read, Christian sci-fi, time travel, Action Adventure, Christianity, family, coming of age, book seriesMG, YA and Adult Read more
