Sons of Thunder is a contemporary Christian fantasy about ordinary people with miraculous abilities. A group of young people discover these abilities in themselves and begin to use them as they come to understand that the powers are gifts from God. At the same time, an opposing group rejects that idea. Calling themselves The Legion, they believe their power comes from strength of will, and wanting the power bad enough to do anything for it.
Here are five of those miraculous abilities you’ll find in Sons of Thunder:
1) Moving objects without needing to touch them. “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move.” — Matthew 17:20. The Legion understands this as telekinesis, but the Sons of Thunder know it’s about faith in God.
2) Moving from one place to another. “The Spirit of the Lord suddenly took Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him again, but went on his way rejoicing. Philip, however, appeared at Azotus.” — Acts 8:39-40. Anna Wales, one of the Sons of Thunder, can move from one place to another, no matter how far away, just by asking the Lord to put her there.
3) Controlling the weather. “He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.” — Mark 4:39. One of the Sons of Thunder calls himself Spark, because lightning comes down where he wants it to.
4) Healing. “they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.” Mark 16:18 One of the Sons of Thunder can heal the deadliest wound just by laying her hands on it.
5) Invulnerability. “They stoned Paul and dragged him outside the city, thinking he was dead. But after the disciples had gathered around him, he got up” Acts 14:19. Connor Merritt is the protagonist of Sons of Thunder. His skin can’t be broken. It makes him bulletproof, and more.
