Book Review Disclaimer

The Apes of Eden – The Journey Begins by Jon P. Gunn is a fascinating read. I got caught up in the book and had a hard time putting it down.

Jon P Gunn wrote the book in “rhymed iambi pentameter thus falling into the category called heroic couplets. Each line has 10 syllables and the pairs of lines rhyme.” This follows the style of Geoffrey Chaucer and many of the plays and sonnets of William Shakespeare. For me this made for a great read.

The author developed a story around spiritual restlessness using apes as his main characters as they travel through human history looking for God. He did a great job of taking a very deep, philosophical subject and creating a fictional look at it. The story was easy to follow and very well written. I really like the way Jon P. Gunn developed his characters and made them real and easy to identify with.

I really enjoyed reading The Apes of Eden – The Journey Begins by Jon P. Gunn and I recommend it to all readers.

If you like books about the Rapture and Tribulation you will love reading “The Son of Perdition” by Len du Randt. This is one of the best books I have read in this genre. What makes it even better is it sticks to the biblical traditions of the end times.

The storyline is well developed and easy to follow. Each twist and turn helps build on the total story and comes together in the end in a triumphant conclusion. I easy found myself  putting me in the story as an unnamed character.

The characters were very believable and easy to identify with. Even the bad guys were compelling in their story which made you cheer all the more for the heroes. I caught myself several times cheering and encouraging the good guys.

I really enjoyed the book and had trouble putting it down.

I highly recommend this book.

“The Castors of Giza” by Chris Hambleton blew me away. At first I thought it was just another good book about ancient Egypt but the more I read the harder it became to put down. I was totally captured in the story.

The author did an excellent job of tying the various storylines together.  What started out as a story about the building of the Great Pyramid took on new meaning when the author brought Abram and Sarai and the Biblical story of their trip to Egypt into the story. I love when an author is able tell an Old Testament story and make it real and at the same time stay true to the original Bible text. Chris Hambleton did an excellent job of this. Plus, there is a surprise biblical twist I won’t tell.

The characters he added to the story were well developed and believable. I found it easy to join them as an extra and follow along, getting lost in the story.

I totally enjoyed reading “The Castors of Giza” by Chris Hambleton.

I highly recommend this book.

“Elijah – Steps to a Life of Power” by Bob Saffrin is an excellent book. The author has taken the life of Elijah and broken it into very detailed segments telling of his struggles and ultimate triumph of faith and power. Then the author takes each segment and relates it to our lives and shows us how to achieve all that God has for us.

The book is well thought-out and written making it easy to read. I found the book very uplifting and applicable into today’s world and my life.

I highly recommend this book.
