The Canary List, by Sigmund Brouwer

Filed under Book Reviews, Fiction

The Canary List, by Sigmund Brouwer, was the book I chose to review for ‘Blogging For Books’. First, let me say that if you are Catholic, this book is not for you.   This book attempts to do what Dan Brown did in The DaVinci Code – use the Catholic church as a backdrop, then throw [...]

BURN, by Ted Dekker & Erin Healy

I really wanted to like BURN.  The cover looks super-cool, the blurb on the dust jacket sounded interesting, and it’s Ted Dekker; you just can’t go wrong…right? A couple of years ago I would have given this book a 5-star rating simply because it had Ted Dekker’s name on it.  And let’s face it, there [...]

I chose this book to review for the Thomas Nelson Blogger Reviews. I am a huge fan of the Circle Trilogy, so it was with great excitement that I sat down to read ‘Green’. I won’t recap the story for you, however, I will say that while I enjoyed ‘Green’, I didn’t really feel like [...]

Robert Liparulo is fast becoming my favorite author.  Even more so than Ted Dekker.  With his latest book, Deadlock, he just gets better and better. Deadlock is a ‘John Hutchinson’ novel.  I recommend you read Deadfall prior to jumping into this one, as Deadlock is a continuation of the first book.  If you enjoy fast-paced, [...]

Seems like I’ve read this before. I picked this book from the Thomas Nelson blogger reviews. THE NOTICER, is about a man named “Jones” who appears in the lives of people just when they need him the most. His role is to offer a ‘different perspective’ of their current situation, so that they may change [...]

Field of Blood, by Eric Wilson

I was skeptical, I admit it. A Christian vampire novel?! Get outta here! Surely it would be silly, boring, and preachy, right? Wrong! Here’s the gist of the story: Gina, our heroine, is a Romanian girl being sought by the undead.   The book asks the question, “What if Judas’ death didn’t end his betrayal?  What [...]
