By Mark J. Janetta is an exciting new book for teens and older. Don’t approach this book thinking you’re getting the usual Disney story of princesses and princes. This story is about young adults learning to be leaders in the face of prejudice and deep-seated national rivalry.

The setting is in the mystical Northern and Southern Kingdoms. Janetta’s experience with gangs and kids comes through without being preachy. The fight scenes are just as believable and riveting as are the character’s inner emotions. Readers aren’t forced to choose sides, but they are shown how understanding and forgiveness can bring about real change for a person and ultimately a nation.

Mark J. Janetta, a devoted husband and father, wrote another book, Little Lambs Wonder Why? for his two young daughters. He wanted to explain why he and other mommies and daddies deploy to foreign soil to fight for our country. This sweet story helps little ones know that they will never be alone because their Heavenly Father, the Good Shepherd, always watches out for them.

 

Originally from England, Mark and his wife became U. S. citizens in 2011. Previous to enlisting, Mark built a non-profit skate ministry park combining his love of skateboarding and inner-city ministry. Janetta is currently part of the prestigious 1st Infantry Division and 1-26 battalion serving in Afghanistan. 

Both books are available at Amazon.com
