A Courageous Heart

by Theresa Stinnett

Thirteen-year-old Emiline Elmwood wants to be courageous. She dreams of daring battles and heroic missions. But, that doesn't keep her from feeling afraid when her simple life in the West takes a perilous turn. As she and her friend, Peter McDougall, explore the wild woods, they find a little more adventure than they bargained for. Winter's storms become perilously cold and there's something strange about the cave they find in the hills. The sense of coming danger makes Emiline feel uneasy. Could it just be her imagination? Or has something or someone been watching their every move? Danger lurks around every corner and its enough to put both Emma and Peter on their guard. Will they be brave enough to face their enemy? Or will they find their courage pushed to its limit and discover that only faith in Christ can strengthen them in their hour of peril?

This is the third book in the
“Hero at Heart” series.

About the author

I am an author of novels ranging from children's books to adult fiction. As a Christian, I try to pour my love for God and righteousness into each book I create. I started writing when I was about eight years old, and I haven't been able to stop. It seems that I always have a story or two running through my mind. I am also an illustrator, and am looking forward to publishing a series of children's picture books in the future. My goal in life, and as an author, is simply to do God's will and to share his light with the world.

Philippians 4:8 ...Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
