What readers said about Dancing
"I found myself not wanting it to end. There was so much imagery and amazing detail in the story. As an artist I was amazed at how accurately he understood us. "
"At least a dozen times, I had to stop reading for a moment to control tears. The story is that gripping, that real."
"When I read Dancing Priest I was immediately captured by the breadth of Glynn's story. It was, at the same time, an action story; a love story; a story about spiritual struggles; and a story about one man who believes he can make a difference."
And on A Light
"It turns suspenseful and heartwarming. A Light Shining has all the qualities of those classic tales that stay with you for the long journey. These characters become friends and fellow sojourners ... making their way into a reader's heart and encouraging a deeper faith--one that has hands and feet. We all need such role models as Michael and Sarah-Kent Hughes."
"Read A Light Shining any way you Kindle, Nook, paper. Be prepared to leave long blocks of time to read. Guaranteed. Be prepared to be captured with this story. I found myself going through a range of emotions as I read, yes even tears."
"Yes, the same characters from Dancing Priest are here and some fascinating new ones, too. Yes, there are glimpses into Michael's everyday life as an Anglican priest. But from the very first sentence, you know that we are most definitely not in Kansas anymore. There is something ominous afoot, a threat that hangs heavy over every page."
Glynn Young is an award-winning speechwriter and public relations professional, and a contributing editor at Tweetspeak Poetry. In addition to the novels Dancing Priest, A Light Shining, and now Dancing King, he is the author of the non-fiction book Poetry at Work. He lives in suburban St. Louis.

Dancing KingGlynn Young
With the publication of Glynn Young’s third book in his "Dancing Priest" series, I set aside time to reread the first two and the new one, "Dancing King." The books are so real that at times I catch myself thinking that such-and-such a plot point actually happened in real-life England.
I’m so into these characters that while buying a Valentine’s card for my husband, I set one aside thinking, “Sarah should give this one to Michael.”
But the main reason to read the series is that no one can write a crowd scene like Young.

Captivating, imaginative, lovely, and in general a swell read. You could read just this one but I promise you will want to read them all.
