Rock of Refuge is the second book in the Mysterious Ways series. The setting is the Colorado Territory in 1871. Charlie, a young man of eighteen, lives with his grandfather on their farm. Charlie has longed to go on a cattle drive and has finally been given the 'go-ahead' by his grandfather. During the cattle drive, Charlie has many chances to share his Christian faith and he does so without hesitation in the hopes of sharing the good news about Christ. Of course, not every man on the cattle drive shares Charlie's faith and there are some bad feelings among some of the crew. He learns what it means to be a man of integrity as he meets several "villains" along the way. Charlie faces all kinds of new trials on the cattle drive and continually draws his strength from his relationship with God.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I am NOT a reader of "westerns." To be totally honest, I couldn't put it down! Even though the main characters were mostly male, it totally held my interest and I couldn't wait to see what happened next! This is a faith-strenghthening novel for the entire family to enjoy together!
