I like an intriguing story. This one about the death of Father Anthony, viewed from the perspective of his nephew sounds interesting. Thanks for great review.

Seems like an interesting read, but religious books are not for me. Thanks for the review!

Although today's BOTD isn't for me, those who enjoy religious novels, especially those that follow the Catholic religion, will want to check this one out. The suspense will keep you on the edge of your seat and twists and turns are sure to keep you guessing. Thanks so much for the helpful review and great work! :-)

Good review. Interesting that the review is written in such an even pace, with plain and crisp sentences. Good opening paragraph as well.

As mentioned about flash cards that author put in between novel to revise the storyline, caught my attention. This might be something of a new pattern to read.

A religious novel that sounds this interesting would be a joy to read. I appreciate that the author catered for the needs of both religious and non-religious readers. Great review

That Reviewer said, "You have to have a Catholic foundation or an idea of their beliefs and practices to follow most parts of the story in this book." Later in the review they said the author caters to the reading needs of both the religious and the non-religious because of the strong story line. It sounds like a good read for someone who understands Catholicism. Thank you for the review.

The writing skills of the author is commendable. I love the plot and storyline of this book, and I would love to read it. I would love to know if John later learned of the thing about Father Anthony that he didn't know at first. Thanks for your review.

Latest Review: The Maestro Monologue by Rob White

Post by Williams Udoh »

Being from a Christian family and having to face different challenges that make me question whether or not the Christian faith is worth it, I have to say that this book seems like it would offer a lot of encouragement to me. It may have some differing views as I'm not strictly Catholic, but I'm interested in seeing how the men in this book face the challenges that are put before them. Great review!

I'm not into religious books at all so I'll pass. Surely others will appreciate this novel a lot though.

The book is deeply rooted in Catholicism and all the beliefs associated with it. The characters in this book have a connection to the Catholic Church, the practices, and prayers. The author shows his deep roots and vast knowledge of the Catholic Church. The review is great.
Congratulations on Botd 🎉

It is unusual to find a religious book that does not preach. I appreciate this because life is influenced by more than religion. Thank you for your review.
