Editorial Reviews
A Soldier Surrenders is an incredible story about Saint Camillus, a great sinner who became a great saint. He is entirely human, very flawed, and easy to empathize with. His story is sure to inspire anyone who struggles with temptation and sin--and who doesn't? As always, Susan Peek keeps readers hooked! She treats us to lively writing, entertaining situations, and crisp dialogue. A Soldier Surrenders is filled with action and drama. Peek's novels are among the most worthy and inspiring I've ever read. I fervently recommend it! - Therese Heckenkamp, Author of Past Suspicion
A Soldier Surrenders tells the amazing tale of the conversion of Saint Camillus. Inspiring and interesting, this book will not be easily forgotten by its readers. For my own experience, it was a wonderful opportunity to meet a great saint who I'd never heard of before. The author did a laudable job of bringing Saint Camillus to life and his story to our hearts. The book centers on his conversion--one that will inspire people in every walk of life. This book was a great read, one of the best young adult stories I've read in a long time. - Ann Frailey, Author of Aram
