In front of a campfire in the boundary water canoe area of Minnesota, Marc Greene confesses his past sins to Jason, his twelve-year-old son. In the innocence of youth, Jason promises he will avoid the sins of his father. Marc warns him that the heavy promises he makes now will be difficult to keep in the tough years to come. Just a year later Marc is killed in a helicopter accident and Jason is forced to rebuild his life without his Christian dad in the fragile years of adolescence. Is Jason able to keep the promises he made to his dad at age twelve when he comes up against temptations in high school and college? You probably don't know a kid like Jason Greene, but he exists somewhere beyond this story. You'll come to love Jason; can't help it. It's a heartwarming and easy to read story with conflicts, failures, and victories. "Just a pleasant and touching book." You'll cry and laugh through Jason's Promise - enjoy. Jason's Promise is a good book for any young person struggling with a major life crisis (parents' divorce; death of a parent or sibling; natural disaster etcetera). Roy Swanberg has an unusual ability to write to the pre-teen and teenage readers' ability to relate to and understand situations and circumstances beyond what that age group normally experiences. This book can be helpful, empowering and encouraging to a youngster in need of compassion and understanding. Tom Ziglar, proud son of Zig Ziglar
