In a ruined future where the only currency is strength a small community struggles to maintain a place for weakness But when a mysterious electric light appears in the southern sky a young caregiver must leave the only home he has ever known in an effort to save that home What he finds will call into question the nature of survival itself The Shepherd of Princes is a novel about what it means and what it costs to care for another person It is a meditation on the gifts that those who seem to have nothing can offer their society and of the price that is to be paid when those gifts are refused It is a meditation on the hidden gifts that make us human and a warning of the price to be paid when those gifts are refused The Shepherd of PrincesOftentimes the way of obedience is horribly clear and it means loving and being loved in a way that costs us I m ever grateful for stories like these that remind me that life here is not the end of all things and that in the ruins we might be standing in we have a greater Hope by which we can kindly endure Mike Bonikowsky I love this book but hey I wrote it so what do you expect Mike Bonikowsky A thought provoking book that is a little bit A Canticle for Liebowitz a little bit SM Stirling with a good dose of Henri Nouwen thrown in The book has one of the most effective opening sequences I have read by having us read the log journal of a group home for disabled adults as civilization very rapidly falls apart in the face of a very real but vaguely explained societal crisis The change in the log from a professional communication to a diary recounting the harrowing trip to seek safety for those most vulnerable in a world where it no longer exists was extremely moving and his characters swear drink and display a full range of human doubt and emotion in a way that might make it unpalatable to expectations of conservative Christian readers The book is short and engaging and could be read by a dedicated reader in a single day I highly recommend it Mike Bonikowsky I had to flip to the grief for when you finish a beloved book liturgy in every moment holy to cope with the end of this one It s been hard for me to focus long enough to finish a book for a long time But this book immersed me into a heart breaking real warm and vivid world of Micah and the Fold in a way where I couldn t wait to resume reading It sparked genuine laughter and tears and could only be described as warm and grounded I m not sure a book could be humble subtle or powerful in discussing humanity and disability I feel like I need everyone I know to read this so that I can use the landscape Bonikowsky creates to articulate the heart cry I left this book with If you re reading this review please read this book A gem I want to read but perhaps this is stand alone a work of art that clearly took so much lived experience and technical shaping to come to be What an honor to have had the experience of reading this Mike Bonikowsky
