'Book of Dreams' a Masterpiece of 'What If,' Says Reviewer
Dear friends,
My new novel, Book of Dreams, has just been released by Simon & Schuster/Howard Books. In the coming weeks, I'll be sharing reader reviews of Book of Dreams on my blog. Here is the first reader review I've received.
By Don Courliss
Guest Reviewer
It took me two nights to finish Davis' newest book, Book of Dreams. Not because it hadn't "hooked" me, but because I needed to sleep! In fact, I was definitely hooked by the end of the first page. This book is a masterpiece of "what if."
"What if" you were given an icon that helped raise your awareness of the Presence of God to an amazing height?
"What if" that awareness also included an ability to interpret dreams?
"What if" the dreams were those of very powerful men in the world banking system?
"What if" those men were more interested in pleasing God than man?
"What if" that devotion made them targets of an age old, very resourceful Enemy?
The answer is quite remarkable, intriguing, challenging, frightening and downright entertaining.
To be fair, the only objection I can find is that it seems as if the heroine, as well as those involved with her, rely just a little too much on the icon and not enough on the personal relationship with God.
My rating: Highly recommended.
Don Courliss is a retired commercial printer turned model railroad hobbyist. He and his wife, Carol, have been married almost 29 years, and have been involved in ministry for as many years as they've been married. Don is currently teaching a Bible study on the book of Revelation at their church in Tennessee. He and Carol also minister at an assisted living facility in their area; Don teaches a Bible study and Carol plays the piano.
They have accumulated over 500 Christian fiction books in their home library (of which 25 are by Davis Bunn). And yes, they've read them all! Some of them, more than twice.
Disclaimer: Don received a complimentary advance review copy of Book of Dreams from the publisher, Howard Books (a division of Simon & Schuster) in exchange for an honest review.
