Great Fiction with Great Values Makes Great Reading

Terri Blackstock has done a masterful job of combining heart-pounding fiction with Christian values. You will absolutely not be able to put this book down and yet you will have no sense of guilt or shame at having read it, because you know the writer is committed to following Christian values. What is also refreshing is that Private Justice doesn't follow a formulaic, Polyanish, everything-is-okay storyline. There are real people, with human flaws, who fail their families and their God. Christians make mistakes. Men are not Knights in shining armor and woman are not breath-takingly beautiful homemakers with perfect waistlines and no bad thoughts. There is a marriage on the rocks that is put together only by God who allows tragic circumstances to force two independent belivers to come to grips with His will for thier lives. This book mirrors the real Christian life. You as a reader will at times wonder if Terri Blackstock has inside information from your life. What I also enjoy is that Private Justice is so tightly written that she doesn't have to overwhelm the reader with unneccessary minutia about the field of police and fire and rescue. This was my very first Terri Blackstock novel, but I can assure you that I will read many more. She has a wonderful storytelling talent. May God richly bless her work.

I wish I had read this sooner!

My sister has been telling me about this series for months and I didn't think I was going to enjoy reading it. I finally decided to read it and now I am practically pacing the floor waiting for her to bring me the next book so I can find out what happens next! This is a really great book and if you aren't sure if you want to read it or not, I hope that this recommendation gets you to read it!

Terri Blackstock is one of my new favorites!!

I am reading the Newpointe 911 series in a Christian bookclub I belong to. Within three weeks, I've already read two of them! Private Justice is a nail-biting thriller that entertains as well as spreads the word. The characters are so realistic you can imagine them living in your neighborhood. I can't wait to start the third book in the series!

There is NO better book than this one!

I am only in the 8th grade and I couldn't put this book down! I could not go to sleep at night just thinking about what was going to happen next. It is so great how Terri links everyday situations... I take that back. These weren't everyday situations. The situation of this book was linked to trusting and relying fully on God. It was so gooood! I recommend this book to EVERY reader out there... boy, girl, young, or old. It is an excellent mystery that can't be put down!

This book kept you on the edge of your seat.

I thoroughly enjoyed the suspense of this book. I found it refreshing to read a book of this caliber of quality that was free of profanity. It is a great book. I understand why she'll give you your back if you don't enjoy it.
