Beyond
the Far Horizon by
Carolyn Leiloglou is third installment in the Restorationist series and
follows the perspective of Ravi, a friend of Vincent and Georgia’s. Ravi used
to fight for the wrong side, and even though he’s been assured that the
Restorationists now welcome him, he struggles to feel like he belongs. But would
leaving solve the problems he’s already running from? Just like its predecessors,
this tale is full of art appreciation and art history as well as plot twists
and action scenes, and there are strong Christian themes and messages present
throughout. Occasional black-and-white illustrations provide the perfect
accent. At the end, find an author’s note and a list of all paintings and
artists referenced. Softcover, 272 pages.
Art appreciation meets Christian thematics in the Restorationist series by Carolyn Leiloglou. When twelve-year-old Vincent’s
little sister disappears inside a painting, Vincent discovers they are
part of a secret society of people who can travel through paintings with the
purpose of protecting them. The series then follows the adventures of Vincent,
Lili, and their friends as they fight back against the evil Distortionists,
tackling themes of identity, worthiness, belonging, and more along the way.
Readers will be exposed to famous paintings, artists, and art history, and
strong Christian messages are present throughout. A list of all paintings and
artists referenced is included at the end of each book.
