Francine Rivers: The Masterpiece

“The long wait between Francine Rivers’ novels is well worth it when the final page of this book is turned…This is an amazing, beautifully written tale to be savored and pondered and shared with others.” [4.5 stars, Romantic Times Top Pick]

“Christian novelist Rivers (Earth Psalms, 2016, etc.) deftly threads Roman’s and Grace’s lives together as they tiptoe around their emotional scars, eventually shifting into a dance of tentative steps toward a love neither can resist. Fans of Christian romance will delight in this tale of salvation through love.” [Kirkus Reviews]

“Best-selling Rivers (Bridge to Haven, 2014) presents a lengthy, emotionally uninhibited tale of childhood trauma and its affects in adulthood. She handles the difficult topics of addiction, emotional abuse, gang activity, and murder-suicide, all connected to children, with unapologetic directness. Her writing is grounded in conservative Christian values and touches on deeper points of theology and the afterlife. Readers will marvel at Rivers’ storytelling arc encompassing the reconciliation of gritty past misdeeds with the work in progress of a life of forgiveness.” [Booklist]

Craig Parshall: The Empowered

“Trevor Black is back in Craig Parshall’s suspenseful second novel featuring this demon-chasing investigator. The Empowered is a gripping mystery that engages readers and takes them for a wild ride through both New Orleans and Washington, DC. The plot is interesting, and the characters engaging. Parshall tackles hard subjects such as child abduction, pornography and sex trafficking; however, he does so in a way that is not graphic or obscene. This is an excellent supernatural suspense novel, and readers will anxiously await Trevor Black’s next adventure.” [RT Book Reviews]

“Craig Parshall, author, constitutional attorney and special counsel with the American Center for Law and Justice, continues the fascinating Trevor Black series with The Empowered, a terrific suspense series that could also be a standalone title. It’s a riveting story of human trafficking and child sexual exploitation wrapped in voodoo, spiritual warfare and murder. Parshall writes in a “clean read” style, without bad language, sexual scenes or grim and gory crime details, yet his books are page turners.” [Midwest Book Review]
