Lion of Babylon: Best Novel from the Pen of Davis Bunn (Review)

By Pastor Gary Gilmore

Lion of Babylon is above all a book of hope. Undoubtedly the best from the pen of Davis Bunn yet, it offers bold hope to any who are seeking.

This book is about history, culture, faith, relationship, politics, government, love, trust and much, much more. Suspenseful to the max, plot turns without end, yet it is full of teaching, if one wants to learn about the world around them.

Marc Royce has become mired in nothingness since the death of his wife, praying for some direction, some purpose. God answers prayer. Suddenly Marc is virtually overwhelmed with more than his hands can hold: purpose, direction, hope and more.

The search for his friend Alex becomes the search for his own purpose. It is obvious that Marc's faith is powerful within him, and he is lead by the Spirit. How else could he know, how else could he so quickly understand, how else could he make such perfect plans, how else could he make the right contacts and friends?

In Exodus we see the Pillar of Fire by night and the Cloud by day. We see it again in Lion of Babylon. This is a great read, but don't cheat yourself with just one reading!

Surely, at the very least a second book is in the planning.
