Here's a little information on my first book, The Crown of Fire, which is a young readers' historical novel based on the life of Polycarp, second century bishop and martyr. You can also buy the book in our online store.
"A stirring read for young people." (Reformation Heritage Books)
"...very well researched and blends fact with fiction to make an exciting adventure story..." (Evangelicals Now)
"...well written and chock full of fascinating history and well researched facts." (Catherine Mackenzie, Children's Editor, Christian Focus Publications)
"In working with a highschooler for English and world history, this book provided perfect reading material, especially the spiritual aspect of the book. She is racing through the book and gaining a good bit of Church history at the same time! I'm excited to add more books to her reading pallet." (Reader review from Grace and Truth Books)
"Reading Polycarp: The Crown of Fire was well worth it...Upon reading the end of the book early this morning, even after having slept only a few hours in the last few days and with a myriad of thoughts about school planning rolling around in my head like steel balls in a pinball machine, I was captivated by the dialog Newsom powerfully crafted between Polycarp and his earthly judge, Statius Quadratus...Consider adding Polycarp: The Crown of Fire (Newsom) to your personal, or school, reading list." (Reader review from Seasonal Soundings)
The Crown of Fire is available on Amazon, Christian Book Distributors, or your favorite online book store. You can also buy the book in our online store.
