Fantastic, beyond words!

This book, read aloud, is one of the most powerful books I have ever heard. I had read the written book previously and was impressed by it, but only listening to this audio allowed me to take in the power in the story, as it came alive. Highly recommended, and if the listener thinks this is just science fiction, no! Fiction, yes, but I could find a scriptural warrant for almost every event in it. Others have said it, but the powerful message if I were to try and summarize it is the power of prayer.....and what hit me hard is that I said I believed in God and His Son Jesus Christ, the Word of God, the Living Word, and that the Bible is Truth, but I have only begun to take it all seriously, and this book opened my eyes, and started me on a new journey.

Action Packed Suspense Thriller

The way this story unpacks itself from the tendrils of evil and corruption is fascinatingly relevant to our current society. Beautiful told with such an awareness for what is necessary and what the reader can fill in for themselves. Going into my Top 5.

Excellent!

A very good reminder of how important the prayers of the Saint are to freedom from bondage.

Well done

I have to say I was quite impressed with how this story played out. This is the first fictional book I have listened to that helped to demonstrate effective prayer and the power we hold as saints. While the story might be fictional the power we wield through prayer is very real. I appreciate how the author used scripture throughout. I look forward to listening to more books written by this author.

I need more!

I'm not an avid reader, but I do appreciate a great story. Not only is this a gripping and captivating story, but Mr. Jack delivered it brilliantly. His consistency with characters and their voices was unmatched. I was able to feel the emotions and motivations so clearly that I got emotional and wanted to jump right into the story and pray!

Great Book

Although this book may be considered fiction I found that it put spiritual warfare entirely into perspective for me. I loved this book; it helped me to learn perspective with regard to the battle we face daily against the unseen entities. Prayer works, Thank God!!

Love this book.

I believe this book just changed my life. I loved it, and am greatly moved by the story and in awe of how cleverly it was written. It feels like it could have been written last year with all the stuff going on in our world! I will recommend this book to all my friends and family.
