This seems a good thriller fantasy book, but not interesting to me. I hope other people will enjoy this book.

This sounds like an exciting thriller, which is a great thing for those who love such genres. It also seems that those familiar with the Bible would be able to derive another layer of satisfaction from being able to pick out biblical quotes.

Although I love a good fantasy novel, I'm not into books about religion. Judging by the sample, the author seems to have done a great job of weaving the two together. It's just not my cup of tea. Excellent review, thanks!

A fantasy-thriller novel intertwined with religious aspects, this definitely opens a whole new vista. From the review, the story kind of reminds me of the recent Netflix thriller show, Midnight Mass. I might give this book a chance. Thanks for the very detailed and thorough review.

While I enjoy fantasy thrillers, the abundant references to the Bible might pose problems for me as I am unfamiliar with the verses. Thanks for your recommendation though!

The Sword of the Spirit by Mark A Norris seems like an intriguing story that Christians might enjoy. It's a thriller symbolising the challenges that Christians face everyday in their pilgrimage.

I have never read anything like this. Its a fictional adventurous book but with Christian elements? It seems intriguing and from your review. I find the inclusion of bible verses in a work of fiction very creative. Nice review!

I haven't read any obvious Christian thriller fantasy before, and I look forward to reading the sample of this book. Young readers may enjoy reading the scriptures in this exciting story. The mix of religion in the theme is interesting. Thanks for your review.

A fantasy thriller that is an allegory of the Christian faith and the spiritual warfare believers encounter every day. I would recommend this book to Christians seeking an understanding of spiritual warfare. Thank you for an enlightening review.

I enjoy fantasy novels and I don't mind religious undertones either. The book is perfect for me.
