About the Book

LION HEART & ALESSIO: THE VICTORY RIDE BOOK FOUR MISSION GENTLENESS & SELF-CONTROL is an educational and quirky adventure about faith, family, and the struggles we must overcome to live a victorious life. The diverse characters in the series go through a transformation where they learn what it means to be accepted by Jesus, not because we follow religious, man-made rules, but by believing in Jesus and inviting Him into our hearts. As the characters accept Jesus as their personal Savior, they receive supernatural powers enabling them to spread this wonderful truth: The Good News. Readers will fill up on Scripture and have a blast doing it as they learn to become superheroes of faith. The author recommends that her series be used as a read-aloud with parents or teachers so sensitive topics can be discussed.

Book Summary

Jed and Makarios (aka Mak) have big dreams of becoming pro skateboarders, traveling the world to compete against the best. Jed’s stoked because he’s finally old enough to enter the Victory Ride skateboarding competition with his older cousin, and best friend, Mak. But when he finds out that Mak and his family are moving to Greece, Jed’s dreams kickflip out of his control. In his devastation over Mak’s move, Jed decides to quit skateboarding. But after a mysterious encounter, Jed and Mak receive an ancient treasure that comes with supernatural powers. Transformed into warriors named Lion Heart & Alessio, Jed and Mak are sent on a spirit-filled adventure that they never thought was possible.

In Megan Joy Chapman’s newest book, Mission: Gentleness & Self-Control, you’ll need a box of tissues, or two, or three. She has a way of bringing up real-life issues in a way that makes sense. For me personally, her series has touched several parts of my own story and helped bring some new perspective to it. Her newest book also encourages you to follow your dreams and “face your fears.” I identify with the character Jed because we are both worrywarts and resistant to do new, hard things. We also both have genuine desire to follow Jesus, but we sometimes let our fears or practical minds get in the way. Mission: Gentleness & Self-Control teaches us to let go of hatred or bitterness and to let go and let God. The story shows us the real transformation that happens when we invite Jesus into our lives. It also shows us that God has a bigger picture and plan for our hardships in the long run.

I really appreciate how Megan’s books have taught us kids at Wilderness Way Girls’ School about Jesus and how He wants a relationship with us. Mission: Gentleness & Self-Control shows us how to give God glory no matter what happens in our lives. Megan Chapman demonstrates the greatest example of this through her work. Plus, skateboard flying with Jesus? Way cool!

For young teens looking for quality in a series, they need not look any further. Megan Chapman’s books offer all the excitement that young people enjoy. From skateboarding to fashion, you will be taken on an exciting journey that will draw you closer to Christ.

Mission: Gentleness & Self-Control is a good wrap up to the Lion Heart & Alessio series. Through this two-part book, one can see the heart of the Father reaching out to His children, wanting them to know they are seen and loved. I can really identify with the hurt, pain, and unforgiveness that Grandma Anna battles with, before finding healing on the other side.

Also very relatable is the struggle of a young boy who works through the pain of a tragedy and breaks free from his crippling fears, in order to influence the world around him. This Lion Heart & Alessio book has touched my life, and I believe that all other readers will find it to do the same for them.

The Lion Heart and Alessio series is one of my favorites, and this final installment, Mission: Gentleness & Self-Control, definitely served it justice. This book not only captured my attention but also talked about touchy subjects in Christianity with grace. Megan Chapman did an amazing job showing how God provides and how fun a relationship with Him can be. She also showed that God can take something tragic and make it into something beautiful.

This series did wonders for me, furthering my relationship with God. The well-placed verses, always on topic throughout, made me want to read the Bible. As a teen living in New England, the least Jesus-focused region in the United States, I’m inspired by the storyline that Megan Joy Chapman has created to reach more people for Christ.
