Orphaned at age seven, Talen Enns vowed to complete the pilgrimage from France to Jerusalem that cost his parents their lives at the hands of Muslim Turks in the fall of 1083. Thirteen years later, his quest to fulfill the vow and discover why God spared his life unfolds in the shadow of Pope Urban II’s crusade to wrest the Holy Land from Muslim control. Believing the crusade to be an affront to Jesus’ gospel of peace, Talen wants no part of it. But when the pope’s armies threaten to overtake him, he finds his quest becomes a race against time.
