When was the last time you went on a great and daring adventure? Chock full of mystery, suspense and intrigue, The Pelican Trees allows each reader to do just that, each step carefully orchestrated by a loving grandfather (already in Heaven) trying to rescue his precious granddaughter and the rest of his family from eternal condemnation. Higgins' new release, "I Never Knew You", was released on 09-01-20. In the first nine months since its released--in September 2020—more than 1000 positive RATINGS - REVIEWS have already been posted on Amazon, Goodreads and Book Bub...and counting! Now available in audiobook! The first seven installments of his award-winning prophetic series, "Chaos In The Blink Of An Eye", are now available. I thoroughly enjoyed reading The Pelican Trees. The story was simply amazing. I found myself unable to put it down most of the time. There is mystery, intrigue, evil plots, and good plots, with enough twists and turns to keep me guessing right up to the end. I have never said this about a book, but I believe The Pelican Trees would make an excellent movie and one that would do fairly well at the box office. It is also a book that can be used by the Holy Spirit to bring others to salvation in Christ because of the gospel message that is throughout. In the end, the theme of forgiveness and salvation really makes for an enjoyable read. Terry Delaney Pastor/Founder of Christian Book Notes. Another Frank Peretti! Only after I started reading this story, did I realize this author wrote stories like Frank Peretti! I have read several of Frank's books and wondered if there were other writers like him. A resounding yes. I will be reading more of Patrick's books as I can afford to... Fran Nolting - Kindle customer. This story reminds me of an allegory. The characters or events represent or symbolize ideas and concepts. I'm probably reading between the lines but I see Shelby as being me...you, the everyday person, the bank deposit box as the Bible, the six dangerous men as the evil that tries to so easily beset us, and the treasure as eternal life. I was a little confused by the title, The Pelican Trees, so when I studied this word, pelican, I came up with...the a symbol of self-sacrifice. So, as I read this book, I realized that Christ is our sacrifice and all-in-all this is what the total of this read is about...Christ, our Savior. This is one of those life changing reads written in story form. A not to be missed read! Tammy W. - Tammy's Book Parlor - Texas The subject of forgiveness has been explored by many authors, yet this author weaves the theme through a tale that is original, fresh, and captivating enough to make it seem like a new concept. I will be looking for more from this author. In the meantime, someone get this forwarded to a director! Carla Knowlton Author of "You're Not Alone" This book has been such a HUGE help to me. You have no idea how transformed I feel right now! After feeling kind of lost the past few months, reading this book was like having a revival in my heart. I cried all weekend, but it was a good healing, forgiving cry. I can only imagine how many lives will be impacted with this new weapon that God's Holy Spirit has blessed our planet with. I see millions of souls being saved after reading this book!!! Blanca Garcia, Mexico City, Mexico. The Pelican Trees was my first Christian novel. I know it sounds cliché, but had someone told me 20 years ago I would be a Christian writer, I would have laughed at them. The only time I ever read books growing up, was when I was forced to in school. I hated English class; it was my least favorite subject. I can assure you the thought of writing books of any kind back then, was as far removed from my mind as America was to China, geographically speaking. It simply wasn't logical. That all changed many years later, when I went to Sanibel Island in Florida. After checking into the hotel, I went for a stroll on the beach and stumbled upon a large banyan tree flanked by two pine trees. All three were full of pelicans. Suddenly, thoughts started popping in my head like popcorn in a popper, and I felt inspired to write a novel. Go figure! A few years later,  The Pelican Trees  was published. On many levels, it's still my favorite book. Enjoy reading... Used Book in Good Condition
