WOW - gotta read this one

I just finished reading "The Presence" and it was the most amazing book. In the words of Nubee "Cuul". The way Mr. Myers is able to write brings the characters so alive you feel like you are right there with them/one of them. I was unable to put the book down. The book has also made me stop and think about my own glow and what it would be like if we could truly see. I have found things that would show up if visible. Some I knew where there, some I did not realize. If you're looking for a book to read to put you to sleep - DO NOT get this one - it's a "just one more chapter then I'll go to bed" type of book. You may want to read Soul Tracker first to get the full story line but it really isn't necessary to enjoy The Presence on its own. And get the Blood of Heaven trilogy too!

Excellent and unique storyline

What if there was a technology that could allow you to actually see the spiritual world? Would you want to see it? What is there? How would your soul look to earthly eyes? How would someone else's soul appear? Well, that is the basic premise behind "The Presence." Now add the fact that that new technology is in the hands of a madman who has lured unsuspecting people to a "mountain retreat" center. "The Presence" is a great novel. It is not so much a sequel as it is another story in the life of Luke, David and Nubee and other characters first encountered in "Soul Tracker." Each novel can easily stand on its own. The action is intense at times and as usual Bill Myers' characters are very well developed. The story unfolds in very unpredictable fashion. Without adding any spoilers to this review, be advised that you will ponder this book for a long while after reading it. Just consider, what would God do about that new technology which peers into the spiritual rhelm? If you have enjoyed any of Bill Myers' previous books you will not be disappointed. If you are new to Bill Myers books you are in for a great treat! Be sure to read Eli!

Awesome!!!

Wow! Bill Myers has done it again! I couldn't put the first book Soul Tracker down! I read this one in 2 days!! I love the suspense and the characters in this series. A definite must read.

Well worth reading; likely one to keep and read again

Bill Myers continues to improve and fine tune his writing skills with The Presence. Characters, flow, and dialogue are all excellent. Be warned that this book is difficult to put down for a while...it's that good.

Awesome sequel to Soul Tracker

I finished The Presence in two or three days from getting it. Its a real page turner and the writing is excellent (in Bill Myer's case, his writing is usually always excellent). As with his previous book, Soul Tracker, this one really made me think about my spiritual life and the decisions I make everyday. It made me think about the sacrifce Jesus made for us on the cross. Give this book a chance and hopefully it'll reach you in some way like it reached me. Like the previous reviewer said, you don't have to read Soul Tracker to understand this book but I would recommend reading ST first before reading The Presence.
