Books with author D. W. Murray

Like most brothers and sisters Jack and Katie Campbell don’t agree on much until they embark upon an incredible journey to find and capture the white horse of Christ’s return. When the children are lured into the Nohr world, a place ruled by evil wizards who are at war with the Almighty, Jack becomes a useful pawn of the wizards and Katie is forced to reveal the whereabouts of the magnificent white stallion, using God given knowledge she didn’t even know she had.It is a plot wrought with danger, but with a valiant angel to watch over her, Katie encounters menacing ogres, wicked goblins, and a host of monsters she has never dreamt of, to find an animal she never knew existed; all to save her brother from an evil wizard who will surely destroy him if she does not deliver the white horse of Christ’s return, known as Majesty. Book 1 in the Majesty series.

"Key Words with Peter and Jane" uses the most frequently met words in the English language as a starting point for learning to read successfully and confidently. The Key Words reading scheme is scientifically researched and world renowned. "Book 1c" continues Peter and Jane's adventures and introduces 20 new words such as 'ball', 'shop' and 'toy'. Once this book has been completed, the child moves on to book "2a". "The Key Words with Peter and Jane" books work because each of the key words is introduced gradually and repeated frequently. This builds confidence in children when they recognise these key words on sight (also known as the 'look and say' method of learning). Examples of key words are: the, one, two, he. There are 12 levels, each with 3 books: a, b, and c. "Series a": gradually introduces new words. "Series b": provides further practise of words featured in the 'a' series. "Series c": links reading with writing and phonics. All the words that have been introduced in each 'a' and 'b' book are also reinforced in the 'c' books.

In this, the second book in the Majesty series, Katie and Jack Campbell, the child of God and the wizard’s apprentice, continue their search for the white horse in a world beyond fantasy and imagination. Led by the dark wizard Gellzoowin, Jack forms an alliance with a being more powerful than magic itself and Katie is drawn deeper into the wizard’s plan as she seeks to save her brother. With God’s instruction there can be no turning back as Katie tries to understand the message she has been given and learns her role in a mystery that surrounds both her and her brother. In the process she must trust the wisdom of God as she tries to rescue her brother from the powers of darkness, while Jack pursues the legendary book of magic known as the Vaulted Verses. With the band of trolls, the fairy, the elf and the bear king to help her, their journey grows more perilous when they reach the hidden city of Penn Raven, the city of wizards where a new menace arises, a menace that threatens to destroy the wizard kingdom itself. It is then that Katie discovers her true purpose in God’s plan and the role of the white horse in a conflict that will decide the fate of wizards and all of the Nohr world.
