Son of Perdition (Legacy of Ahab Book 3) (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

Timothy Jacobs spends his young life trying to prove that he is not like his father, the infamous Captain Ahab. Certain of his own goodness compared to the misguided mariners he observes on the Boston waterfront, he feels no need for the salvation of Christ. His popularity and success as a midshipman at the U. S. Naval Academy at Annapolis seem to confirm that he is on the right path. But when he is tragically wounded in a Civil War battle, he is nearly consumed by rage at God, whom he now regards as unjust and uncaring, even cruel. Compelled at last to read the account of his father’s futile battle against a white whale--and God, Timothy finds the course of his life altered forever.
