Publisher Description
New in the Misadventures of Peter Paul Pappenfuss series.
Peter Paul Pappenfuss is a pastor’s kid. And he’s a well-known goof off in a small church school in Iowa with the large name of Davenport Christian Academy. He could hardly wait to go to the Pathfinder Camporee. What fun he would have! Or so he thought.
Peter Paul discovers that one can be punished for good deeds—not that all of his deeds were good. And sometimes his creative mayhem surpassed his own expectations. But on the third night of the camporee at the Esther play “Courage to Stand,” he bowed his head and prayed,
“Dear God, please give me courage to stand up against evil.”
“In order for you to fully appreciate Pierce’s storytelling, you have to stop being an adult and crawl back into the eleven-year-old you; the youngster you used to be before everything got so serious. His main character, Peter Paul Pappenfuss, represents many of us who struggled to survive our “members of God’s Remnant Church” childhood. Finally, someone has written down what it was like. Thank you, Seth Pierce, for giving voice to the Peter Paul Pappenfuss in so many of us!” --Charles Mills, author, editor, and radio host.

Review for Camporee of Doom.
I am a Seventh-day Adventist teacher and I have a great affinity for this book. We read this book for worship part of every year school year. My 4th graders who've never heard it before love it. My fifth graders who have heard it the previous year love to relive the story and misadventures of Peter Paul Pappenfuss all over again. It incorporates lessons of respect, patience, kindness, self-control, wisdom and the lack there-of, consequences and relying on a Creator bigger than us. I'm sure I haven't listed everything. We've created many worship discussions about the Fruits of the Spirit and manners just name a few. The can relate to Harley, Gretchen, Peter and Talat. I like the friendship and teamwork they exhibit and especially the forgiveness in the end. We've had a worship on the difference in saying "I'm sorry," and "Please forgive me."
A great book for spiritual growth and entertainment for young people.
