Title: The Judas Ride
Genre: Fiction
Pages: 188

Synopsis:

This book should be read by the youth of today to show them the dangers and consequences of their actions and life choices. Parents should also read this book to raise awareness as to the plight of many of today’s youth and their struggle to survive from day to day in an ever oppressing world. It is a story of hopelessness and tragedy, of young adults who have all but given up on life. But The Judas Ride is also a story of hope, a story that shows that there can be a better way, that there is hope for those who live on margins of society and who are oftentimes neglected. It is a story of triumph in the face of tragedy, courage in spite of fear, and hope even in the darkest of nights.

Review by Brenda Youngerman
Title: The Judas Ride
Author: Peggy Sue Yarber



The Judas Ride shares the story of a group of troubled teenagers and their pastor as they question not only their existence, but the very existence of God- and how he does or doesn’t play a role in their lives. The fictional tale has this particular group of characters in some very dark places – drugs, murder, self loathing, teen pregnancy, alcohol and corruption.

The tale itself is craftily written and holds well on its’ own merits. There are moments in the story that will make the reader stop and think about their own beliefs and question their own moral caricatures, but as a novel in the Christian genre that is to be expected.

The book is well written and should be a suggested reading in all Christian high schools so that the intended audience will benefit from the advice that flows from Ms. Yarber’s pen.

The part I found especially rewarding was when the pastor was also tested along the way and his faith is brought into question as well. There are so many twists and turns in this book that it really is difficult to put it down until the last page is turned.

Peggy Sue Yarber, Phd, is an educator and mother and drew upon her own experiences when writing this book.
