I really admire the faith of the lead character. Nevertheless, I’m usually not a fan of supernatural stories. Congratulations on book of the day!

This book sounds interesting. However, the fiction seems to be about unnatural forces. But I like thrillers and crime dramas. So I might enjoy reading this book. Great review.

Congrats on BOTD!
"The Shaft," a good criminal drama/thriller by Scott B. Delaney, follows Andrew Morrison and his family. Andrew Morrison and his family have been helped by spirits sent by God. It seems that this book is enjoyable.

I'm really enjoying the suspenseful tone of the book. The author does a great job of keeping me guessing about what's going to happen next. I'm also intrigued by the supernatural elements that have been introduced. I'm not sure if I believe in angels and demons, but I'm definitely curious to see how they play a role in the story.
I'm looking forward to reading more of The Shaft and seeing how the story unfolds. I'm sure it's going to be a wild ride!

I love Christian books. This a good clashing with detestable book. Its all about confidence. A book I should peruse. A decent book

An exciting encounter between those on the side of good vs those on the side of evil. A great show of persistence despite the fear of execution. Andrew's story inspires confidence, and persistence despite the challenges faced.

Based on this review, this book appears to touch on many interesting and controversial topics, which I think will make for a great read. I enjoy a suspenseful novel so I think this will be a read that I will be able to get through quickly and enjoy. I'm intrigued that there are some existential elements involved in a thriller and think it can get the reader thinking more seriously about their own beliefs.

I might not love this book. The book's cover didn't do well to draw me into this book. However, the review is well-written. Congratulations to the author on winning BOTD.

A religious group and the pharmaceutical industry are in conflict due to their differing interests. I found the plot of the book enjoyable, and your in-depth evaluation suggests that it is worth reading. I congratulate the author on winning BOTD!

Christian crime thrillers with supernatural aspects are one of my favorite genres because you never know what the supernatural aspect will bring to the plot. Thank you for your review.

Today's book seems to be a modern-day battle between forces of good and evil. There are those who will go to extreme lengths to demonstrate their opposition to organized religion. Those looking for a faith-based thriller with a hint of the otherworldly might consider this.

This certainly seems like something that needs to be read by people who agree with Christian beliefs to be enjoyed. It’s well written, but definitely not for me.

Evil continues to contend with good trying the most gruesome ways to try put a spoke in it's wheel
This episode resorted to crime and violence having many killed with kidnapping added as a last resort

As expected the God of heaven and all good intervenes to curtail the mayhem

Even those without religious affiliations would be grateful for the intervention

From the review this compelling story sounds like a must read
And I'm looking forward for the experience
