Customer Reviews

Like ER, but with positive moral values!

I read a lot of Christian books, but most of them are non-fiction. I'm very selective about the fiction I read - there's just not enough time to read all the good stuff out there! I used to enjoy reading Robin Cook's medical suspense books, so I was glad to see this series of three medical/suspense Christian novels.This is the first of a series - the second is Solemn Oath and last is Silent Pledge. Reading them in order is highly recommended!This wonderful series is centered around a small-town hospital emergency room in Missouri. The medical parts ring true for a good reason - Hannah Alexander is a pen name for a husband/wife writing team and the husband is an ER physician! These books will appeal to both men and women, and contain suspense, drama, a little romance and a lot of inspiration. I became very attached to the characters of Lukas, Mercy, Clarence, Ivy, and many more. The story also paints a wonderful picture of God's forgiveness and grace in the character of Theodore and others' responses to him.The only downside to these books is that there are only 3 of them and I've read them all...Happy reading!

ER with Values

When Dr. Lukas Bower becomes the full time ER doctor in a small town, he is immediately plunged into hospital politics. One of the first things Dr. Bower does is follow procedure and report an accidental needle stick by Dr. Jarvis -- and makes an enemy. Throughout the rest of the book Dr. Jarvis causes trouble for the kindhearted Dr. Bower, while Dr. Bower continues to treat his patience with a great deal of wisdom and insight. I think this book has it all -- realistic action, a touch of romance, and characters we come to care about.

A book men and women will both enjoy

There's plenty of drama and just enough romance that both men and women will enjoy this fast-paced medical drama. The medical terminology is well-used and realistic, but what captured me most were the personalities of the characters. The authors have a way of making the reader care about emergency room patients we'd only met a page or two ago. Very well-drawn and real characters -- heroes and heroines, but very human too...people I could relate to. Best of all, there are two more books in the series!

Excellent book

I just finished reading Sacred Trust and was very impressed! The book has a great plot,is faced paced and makes you care about the characters. It protrays Christians in the medical profession in a very positive light and explores some of the issures they face. I highly reccommend it!

Excellent drama plus family values!

A fast moving novel, with a believable story line. Fun to read, but very thought provoking in the area of family values, also.
