Drama, thriller, the Church and lots of suspense; what more could you want? Whilst it seems a slow start, the advice is that the pace and suspense quickly pick up.

This story is bloody and intriguing . Well looking at the bloody aspect of the novel might put one off from enjoying the whole story though,aside this l am sure life in the story has some vital lessons for all readers. Great review.

Why were Church leaders being assassinated at an alarming rate? The evil group that has targeted The Call Movement has an assassin who already murdered several Council members. Andrew, a member of the Council, fears for the lives of his family and friends. God has Heavenly Spirits to help him in his fight against this threat. Suspenseful and very scary! It seems to politically motivated. An assassin is on the loose! Definitely a page turner, as you root for good to triumph over evil with God's Divine Intervention. Thanks for a great review.

The plot around the religious stance of "The Call" is interesting since it encompasses controversial issues. Also, the impact of some stances in the pharmaceutical industry gives a lot to talk about. I wonder if Andrew and his family will be able to get rid of the murderers. It seems like an exciting suspense thriller with a touch of supernatural.

A Christian book with the suspense I like. I hope nothing happens to Andrew; besides God is by his side, and who knows, this contact will be a life turn over for Niki. Thanks for this wonderful review and congratulations to the author on BOTD.

Religion and Technology sometimes clash and keeping that in the background the book seems to weave a great plot. While sampling a few pages of the book I found the good flow of the story and the theme appeared quite interesting.
The review is very well made. Thanks.

I myself liked the first chapters and the information they gave. We are just the opposite of each other. I hate long dialogue. The review was well written and gave enough information to encourage reading the book.

This seems like an engrossing religious mystery about good vs. evil. It's about a diabolical group that assassinates spiritual leaders for their own gain. Angels and demons sent in to protect and attack adds a supernatural layer to the plot. The book sample already had me sitting on the edge of my seat and the book review was well done.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting thriller story about an assassin hired by a secret society is tasked with eliminating the hierarchy of a cult in order to prevent the cult from gaining momentum. It might be worth a second look. Well done.

This Christian fiction novel stands out for its unique perspective, intertwined with the author's personal connection to God. The story revolves around Andrew and his family, whose protection by divine forces raises questions about the role of God and angels. While the premise is intriguing, some find the thriller aspect too direct, though the author's impressive background balances this. The detailed and insightful review praises the book's mix of thrilling crime drama, supernatural elements, and faith-based themes. The conflict between good and evil takes an interesting turn in this suspenseful narrative, delving into the depths of human desires. The novel masterfully combines thriller and religious aspects, offering a thought-provoking and positive reading experience. While the story captivates, it also prompts unease, appealing mainly to fans of this genre seeking an exceptional option.

I am intrigued by the Call, a contemporary religious movement that has been growing in popularity in recent years. I am also fascinated by the methods that a secret society might use to eliminate the leaders of this movement.
