Dear Stephen Lawhead,
In June of last year, I wrote to let you know what an impact your books, especially the Albion Series, have had upon my life and call to ministry. I’ve included copies of our original correspondence in this package, however, in summary, The Paradise War was an instrument used by God to inspire a unique, medieval-themed warrior camp exclusively for young men, including sword training, battle games, camaraderie among brothers, discipleship in Christ, and an emphasis on honorable masculinity.
I now write to send you a dvd from that same initial camp, about which I wrote you in June, 2008. (As we might have expected, the sword games were the favorite!) I hope you enjoy it, and once again, want to thank you for being a talented author committed to our Creator’s purpose.
Grow Strong and God bless,
Derek Bartlow
PS: Should you wish to write back, I would love to hear from you. My address is below.
