ENUMCLAW, Wash., Aug. 23, 2012 /Christian Newswire/ -- We all have "Giants" in our lives -- parents, mentors, religious leaders, employers, coaches, teachers -- individuals who profoundly change and uplift us. They inspire us to achieve impossible goals and to persevere through struggles. Clark Burbidge has known many giants in his life and through his new exciting and adventurous youth novel, Giants in the Land, he challenges readers to cultivate the "heart of a giant."
Burbidge says, "It is the nature of humankind to seek out individuals and circumstances as examples. Such influences teach us how to confront sudden change or find security in difficult times. After following for a lifetime in another's footsteps, we may look back with surprise as we discover how many walk in our own footsteps."
The characters in this book challenge readers to become examples worth following. Although Giants in the Land targets a tween and teen audience, the underlying theme addresses age old questions of faith and hope during sudden changes in our lives. This is the first of a trilogy from Burbidge that will encourage and inspire youth to rise up and fulfill their highest potential.
Giants in the Land made its debut with a book signing, media coverage, and giveaways at the International Christian Retail Show in Orlando, Florida July 15-18. The author will have T-shirts at all signings and other public appearances as free giveaways. These shirts were highly sought after at the recent international show with their exciting look and message, 'Live with the Heart of a Giant' which appealed to fans of all ages.
This great story inspires and encourages our youth to become a giant in how they live, how they respond to life difficulties, and how they interact with others. The author is available for interactive presentations at schools, libraries and faith based groups.
