Finding Freedom Book Review

Finding Freedom

This is a fantastic read for those who enjoy Christian fiction. “Finding Freedom” is a book which has a very powerful story. The story centers around Katie and her husband David. Katie's family have lived there for generations. David whom Katie falls in love with, is new to Zion in comparison to Katie. They meet and fall in love at Zion, which is supposedly a Christian community, but in reality is a cult. Katie feels out of place there because of the rules of the Zion community. I will not go into the details to not spoil too much of this book, but it’s the reasoning as to why Katie, her love interest David, and her parents leave Zion. Yes they leave loved ones behind. Find out who by reading this book which is part of a Christian fiction series.

The theme of the story: a personal relationship with God. This is what Katie seeks throughout the story. So they leave Zion for a happier life. There are a few minor issues I had with the story, but I’d rather not go into it because I don’t want to deter anyone from reading this inspiring Christian fiction story. I recommend this book to everyone. This book is available @ Amazon. Click title link below to buy a copy.

Review of "Let's Finish the Game"

A Compelling Book!

This book is a great read. It's comprised of multiple short stories covering different genres such as horror and sci-fi. Let's Finish the Game is a well written and thought out book of Christian fiction! There are a few grammatical errors here and there. The page numbers are missing, but don't let that deter you from a spectacular book. Besides, the stories are short and easy to find, not to mention keeping you on pins and needles. This author is as talented as the great horror writers out today. I won't name the writers. You know who they are. I won't give any spoilers. I will say that there are twists and turns throughout this fantastic piece of writing. The stories are so descriptive you can just picture what the character, scenes, and everything else would look like, act like and etc. It's the kind of book they make short films out of.

In the words of the author: "The first of its kind: A book featuring action, drama, horror, romance, sci-fi, comedy, suspense, thrills, chills, and spills! This book will keep you entertained to the very end." My sentiments exactly. So I highly recommend this book.
