"The Wizard" by H. Rider Haggard is a story set in Africa where Reverend Thomas Owen, a man of the church, seeks purpose among the Sons of Fire. The book examines themes of faith as he travels to a distant land to bring his religion to a fierce tribe. The story starts with heartache, dedicating itself to a child who died in African wars. We soon find Rev. Owen on a Sunday, disappointed with his congregation until a visiting preacher tells tales of missionary work and stirs something within him. As Owen grapples with difficult choices, this sets up a collision between his beliefs and the world he is entering.
