The Forgotten Ways — Kathryn Judson

Seventeen-year-old Reuben had been born into a community that had been hiding from a totalitarian government for generations. He'd long dreamed of breaking loose and living above ground, free.Renzo had been born into the society run by the totalitarian government and had served it most of his life, unaware of the hidden civilization burrowed in around his remote outpost in western Northam - until he had been declared an experson, and Subterrans had captured him and taken him underground to save his life.When war broke out between the Subterrans and the Era forces and it looked like the Subterrans might finally gain their freedom, both men had assumed that this fight for freedom was necessary and right. But three years into the war, they are increasingly at odds with their neighbors, and questioning everything they thought they knew about Subterra, about freedom, about right and wrong, about what God requires of a man.They are finding that being a nonconformist who doesn't conform with the nonconformists around you isn't easy. And sometimes it gets dangerous.But what is a follower of Christ supposed to do in a world full of hate, cruelty, and fear? What does following Christ look like in a time of war? Is it like what they've been taught? Is it?
