I hope you’ve enjoyed this story. I’ve enjoyed sharing it. The guy at Crossway told me back in 1994 that all the editors liked it, but the thing back then was romantic, historical novels. The glowing sword exempted this from consideration. Today, it’s too hard to get anything published and really, who cares. If you’ve been touched by it to be more daring, courageous or sacrificial in following Christ, this yarn has served its purpose.
The title was inspired by a song by Wayne Watson. So, at the end of the story, imagine you’re sitting in movies and the final scene fades and the credits begin to roll with a soft, flowing instrumental in the background. You watch the credits for a minute or two as the bulk of the crowd gets up and leaves. As you stand and put your coat on, credits still rolling, the background song changes. If the link at the end of this post works, this is the song by Wayne Watson. If it doesn’t work, you can find it somewhere…Looking Out for Number One.
For the King! Enjoy.
