Customer Reviews

One of the best Christian novals ever written!

I read in this book in just a few days. When I started I had a hard time putting it down. As I read this book by Vic Cassizzi, I found myself not only being caught away by its remarkable writting style, but also coming to a greater reality of what might have actually been going on during the time of Elijah's life. This book is not only written with an amazing dedication to Biblical and historical acuracy, but also with a devotion to cultural facts for that time period in history. This is a must read!

An interesting perspective on an old story.

When I read this book I had to keep going back to see if it wasstaying within the framework of what the Bible has to say aboutElijah, and it was. This novel was a creative development ofwhat might have been the full story of how this account wasplayed out. I found myself caught up in the drama and couldn'twait for the next scenerio, even though I knew theoutcome. This was a very creative novel and there was clearlya great deal of research done to make this novel fit into thehistorical context of it's time,of which much might not be knownto most readers. I recommend it for Bible and non-Bible readersalike. I hope there's an encore.

An Old Yet New Wonderful Story

What an exciting novel! The native of North Carolina who wrote this book is obviously a man who believes in God. Each chapter delivers emotion-stirring events and thought-provoking possibilities, some of which are true to the Scriptures and others which the author created. Elijah, the prophet of the Old Testament, battles against the evils of demon worship, child sacrifice, and complete disregard of the authority of God. Intrigue, suspense, courage, love, brotherhood, betrayal, and triumph are all part of the intense story that moved me to tears, made me very angry, and deepened my respect for the prophet Elijah. I highly recommend this book as one you will want to add to your collection and tell your friends about.
