During the last decade of my two decades as leader of the Christian Civic League of Maine I devoured all the novels authored by Patrick OBrian in his Aubrey/Maturin series.  I was recently reminded of the story by the review below.  I decided to pass it along as a blog post.  OBrian wrote over twenty novels in the series.  I offer my highest endorsement and recommendation to readers of historical fiction.

As leader of the only Maine political institution effectively confronting the pedophile juggernaught I felt alone.  I drew much solace and wisdom from OBrian’s portrayal of Captain Aubrey as always alone … especially at the most difficult moments in the discharge of his duties.

I thank God for the story.

My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ sustained me.  He used this narrative as a tutor in leadership.
