I'm not looking forward to reading about sci-fi that has religious overtones. It appears that the plot was well-written. However, I won't be able to read this book. Great review

Although I am a Christian, I do not enjoy books with a religious message, although it is original to combine fantasy with the Bible.

I typically enjoy fantasy and thrillers, but this story line seems too much like Lord of the Rings. I'm also not a fan of religious fiction. Great sights, just not a book for me.

It's interesting to see a fantasy book based on the Christian fate. However, it's not something I would enjoy.

I love Christian books because there is always a good lesson to be learnt. Reading this one however, would be a challenge because it seems abit scary.

The book seems exciting and thrilling and the combination of demons and the Second Coming of Christ is really interesting. But I'm not a very religious person so I think this book isn't for me. Still I'm sure the book will find its reader. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

This is an interesting fantasy fiction, an allegory of the Christian faith and spiritual warfare of believers every day. Wow! Very interesting!! Yes, it does sound very similar to Pilgrim Progress , a Christian classic. Your review is well written and convincing. I would like to read this book sometime.

I don't do much sci-fi, but Christian sci-fi is new to me. As the book is free today, I may just give it a try. I do wonder why there was a need to change the names of the books and characters in the Bible.

It’s been a minute since I’ve read fantasy and I like the way this review already has be intrigued and makes me want to read more. I feel as though this book will make me ponder about things especially with the religious aspect of things due to upbringing but that’s just me on a person level. I can’t wait to sink my thoughts into this book it’s seems like a great book to start my spooky/fall season with!

This sounds like an interesting fantasy thriller. I love that that are mentions of instances from the Bible because I feel that it brings in some familiarity as you read. I’m curious to read about the battles between good and evil to see how the story unfolds. Thanks so much for the review!

A fantasy novel with an underlying Christian message. Seems like a fascinating book that teaches on the spiritual war between good and evil. I also like your review. It is thorough and precise. Thanks.
