  Things We Didn't See Coming

  by Steven Amsterdam

  • Rated 4 stars

  Russell W wrote:
  When you pick up a book about the post-apocalyptic world, this is not what you would expect. It is at turns despairing and haunting, but somehow the main character, all the while struggling to survive, remains in possession of a kind heart. This book was actually as touching as it was surreal.

  A Well Spring Novel: Book 1

  Soul's Gate

  by James L. Rubart

  • Rated 4 stars

  Melissa Church wrote:
  I'm not really sure how to review this book. OK...I really liked it, but not everyone will. There are parts that are pedantic and self-serving, but the story remains strong and the characters totally won me over. The story introduces ideas that are so far out of the realm of the ordinary that it strikes a chord within the heart of this Christian for MORE...more wonder, more of the miraculous, more vision...more Jesus. And yet there are some aspects that are just far enough beyond the fringe...

  The Fifth Stage

  by Richard Stachler

  • Rated 5 stars

  Margaret L wrote:
  This was a very unusual mystery and I loved it. It was part historical mystery and part medical mystery. The characters were great, the plot was outstanding and it was very well written. The undercurrent mystery of dreams and larger ethical questions were very intriguing. It was long and a little bit slow at the beginning but it was well worth the time spent reading it.
