Description
Adriel Peregrine, whose surname means wanderer or pilgrim, once embraced the teachings of Christ instilled in him during childhood. However, a series of tragic events, including the loss of friends and service in the Civil War, led him astray from his faith. Immersed in a life of debauchery marked by alcohol, prostitutes, and opium, Adriel became a wanderer in the desolate wilderness of the world.
Amidst the trials and temptations of his journey, Adriel encounters individuals who guide him toward the path of spiritual renewal—the Way of Holiness. As he grapples with the consequences of his intemperate and faithless existence, Adriel faces a crucial question: Will he succumb to the darkness that surrounds him, or will he find deliverance and redemption?
Adriel Peregrine raises profound questions about the nature of our own life journeys and the choices we make in navigating the challenges and temptations that confront us. Through Adriel's story, readers are prompted to ponder whether they will remain lost in the desert of despair or seek solace in the streams of divine grace.

I really liked this book, and wished it wouldn't have ended.
This book is about Adriel, whose name means pilgrim, and has been following the word of Christ, but after a series of very tragic events, he was led astray from his faith. In this book we see Adriel struggle with alcohol, prostitutes and drugs, and watch Adriel as he becomes a desolate in the wilderness.
This book will make you question the choices that you have made in your own life and will make you wonder if you would remain lost or if you would be able to come back to the other side and seek Christ again.
I will recommend this book to all of my friends, it was very eye opening and refreshing in a way.
