"By Far Euphrates: A Tale" by Deborah Alcock is inspired by many tales that came from the regions surrounding the Euphrates river. A tale of faith, heroism, and adventure that many readers could only dream of, this book has captured its audience for over a century. Meant as a commentary of what Christianity can do to "improve" non-Christian countries, this book would largely be considered a source of propaganda. However, Alcock's trust in her faith is palpable and does make the story worthy of a read with a critical eye.
