Praise for Thief of Glory
“Emotionally riveting and exquisitely raw, Thief of Glory is an
unforgettable
tale about survival, not just of the body, but of the heart and
soul, with an ending
that will echo in your mind long after you’ve closed the book.
Brouwer is a
master storyteller.”
—Susan Meissner, author of A Fall of Marigolds
“In Thief of Glory Sigmund Brouwer plunges readers into the
mysterious embrace
of the Dutch East Indies during the convulsions of the Second
World
War. Few authors have such an ability to immerse an audience in the
sights,
sounds, smells…and horrors! Brouwer makes you live it…sharing each
moment
of an exotic and terrifying time and place in a gripping, personal
way.”
—Bodie and Brock Thoene, authors of Take This Cup
“Sigmund Brouwer’s Thief of Glory is a powerful story, richly told.
Young Jeremiah
Prins is a complex and fascinating hero, blessed with great gifts
and
challenged by choices to use them for good or evil. The details of
life in a Japanese
civilian prison camp are revealed in unflinching but compassionate
realism,
and the characters depict the human capacity for both great
selfishness
and great heroism. This is truly one of the best books I’ve read
this year.”
—Sarah Sundin, award-winning author of On Distant Shores and In
Perfect Time
“I’ve been a fan of Sigmound Brower’s books for ages, but Thief of
Glory cocooned
me in rich words, vivid descriptions, and true-to-life characters,
making
this book hard to put down. A fan of World War II, I’ve read
countless
tales, but World War II in the Dutch Indies was new to me, fresh
and heartwrenching at the same time. A true glimpse of light
amongst darkness, made even more special due to the
inspiration of Sigmund’s parents’ story. Thief of
Glory is going on my keeper shelf!”
—Tricia Goyer, USA Today best-selling author of over forty
books,
including Chasing Mona Lisa
