Good morning

Just finished reading the Rebel-series.

I was captivated by Col. Swynyard sincere and powerful transformation when he accepted Christ and how his whole life changed. His conversion was exceptionally well articulated.

His mercy, also towards the two soldiers who tried to kill Starbuck, was also very Christ-like. Made me think of the mercy Mr. Pickwick displayed to Mr. Jingle in Charles Dickens’ The Pickwick Papers.

So glad the Colonel was promoted at the end. To quote from The Bridge on the river Kwai: ‘Here in the wilderness, you have turned defeat into victory!’
