Kito wants to be just like his papa, the protector of the pride. Throughout a day and night on the savanna, the cub imitates the way his father roars, swings his tail, shakes his head, and pounces. Kito may be too little to catch a wildebeest, but he is brave enough to succeed in his own hunt. Someday he will be King, just like Papa. With its rhythmic text, dramatic moments on the African plain, playful times for cub and papa, and word-for-word narration this book will make a perfect read-aloud for family sharing.
"Why did Papa offer me to the Lord to become a preacher?" Samuel Grant wonders. "My brother Toby would be much better than me. Things come easier for him than they do me." His sister Hallie's confession to taking the red string off the wrist of the older brother when the twins were toddlers adds more confusion to Samuel's dilemma. Hallie doesn't know if she put the string back on the right brother's arm. Now what will happen? "Maybe I'm not Samuel. Maybe I can live a normal life and get married to Katrina." The brothers live in a state of uncertainty while waiting for their true identity to be uncovered. On the way to finding out which twin is the older one, the Grant siblings endure hair-raising experiences, such a helping birth a baby, concealing the mother's whereabouts, caring for the newborn until the mother decides what she'll do with the infant, and an impromptu wedding. These and more challenges strengthen the character of the young man who was actually offered to the Lord in Papa's Vow.

Thomas yearns to believe in Papa's angels, to see the unseen, hear the unheard, touch that which lies just beyond the ether of understanding. Yet, he is afraid that to do so will plunge him into the same deep place of madness that afflicted his father""seeing angels in the olive trees, and imagining the boy, Jesus, emerging from the caves along the dead waters. Even after he becomes a disciple of the itinerant preacher from Nazareth, and sees the glorious miracles, hears the stories of healing and comfort, he holds back, afraid to commit, afraid to lose himself in Jesus's calling to unconditional love. In the end, Thomas realizes that while his struggle for understanding matters, salvation demands acceptance of the persistent doubt that beats within the heart of faith.
