Sigmund Brouwer: ‘Thief of Glory’ book review

Sigmund Brouwer has remained a household name among readers of all ages for over two decades. With thrillers like Out of the Shadows and 2011’s chilling The Canary List, Brouwer has gripped his adult readership with a consistent diet of hair-raising suspense novels resulting in nearly four million books in print. For his most recent, Thief of Glory, Brouwer pens from a more personal perspective. Centered by ten year old Jeremiah Prin, the wartime dissolution of his family and the budding love story between he and his young friend Laura, this breathtaking tale poignantly documents the physical, emotional and psychological trauma of war while exposing slivers of light from the main characters’ persistent hope cultivated by deep spiritual perspectives from the heart. Thief of Glory is a most-compelling novel. And the story it births will fortify even the most desperate of souls with eternal hope.
