Reviews

[Debbie]

My mom handed this book to me. This type of Christian fiction dealing with spiritual warfare always inspires me to pray and walk closer with the Lord.

[Audrey]

A family moves to Mexico and ends up facing plenty of danger. It is a story with plenty of action. It makes a person aware of the spiritual warfare around us and the dangers of superstition.

[Jerry (Rebel With a Massive Media Library)]

Definitely not among my favorite Christian fiction reads. Readers can do much better.

[A.J.]

Slow in spots, but I cared about the characters and wanted to know what would happen to them. The writing style and "feel" of the book reminded me of Steinbeck's GRAPES OF WRATH ... by turns gritty and horrifying, then powerful and uplifting. About half-way through, I realized that it is a more modern retelling of the Book of Ruth, or perhaps simply inspired by that Biblical saga. This is not an easy, pleasant, "feel good" book, but it is a book I will remember, and I will be interested to read more by this author.

[Hanan Zavodny]

This book had a very engaging plot and some admirable Christian aspects. The romance and certain violent scenes were a bit too much for me though, and I didn't see as much deep Christianity as I expected.
