Customer Reviews

Absolutely Extraordinary!!!!!!

Other reviewers have already written about what an impossible-to-put-down thriller this is. That is absolutely true, but David Shapiro's book is much more than that. It is also a fascinating and well-researched work that in novel (in both senses of the word) form illuminates Christianity's deep Jewish roots. Certainly, there are many dry historical tomes that point out how Christiantity arose from Judaism and the many misinterpretations of Jewish theology that were necessary for Christianity to be established and flourish. David Shapiro's book puts forth the same information in a fast-paced narrative that fairly screams to be brought to the silver screen. Make no mistake, this is an important book that will certainly serve to disturb some and enlighten others. Truth always does that. At the same time it is a delight to read! My copy has made the rounds of my family and I heartily recommend it to all my friends.

Impact beyond the pages - a wonderful work

This book kept me up until after 3 in the morning because I couldn't put it down until I finished reading it. And it had an impact that continues beyond the pages: One is left reconsidering old assumptions, dreams are transformed into possibilities. The insights into both Jewish and Christian theologies and history are enlightening. Controversial? Maybe. But truth sometimes is. And in this work of fiction there is ample measure of Truth. Kudos to the author on a great job. I highly recommend this book.

Inspiring lesson in Judaism plus mystery and intrigue

Promise of God is a real suspenseful page turner... and an education in Judaism at the same time. I found myself unable to put the book down both because of the exciting and fast-paced story and because of what I was learning about the philosophy and promise of Judaism simultaneously. Highly recommended.

Not to be missed!

The Promise of God is a page turner from beginning to end. I could not put the book down. The book contained everything from intrigue, suspense, mystery, romance and history. I enjoyed the author's unique style of writing. The book takes you on a journey through different individuals lives and from all parts of the world and ties them all together in a remarkable conclusion that will stay with you for a very long time. It is thought provoking and insightful. This is a wonderful book and should be a definite read on everyone's list, it is on mine.

Shapiro Delivers a Powerful Story with The Promise of God

The best part of The Promise of God is that while you're feeling like you're part of a page-turning adventure, you're simultaneously learning much about the foundation of Judaism. Shapiro's historical facts are very well done. His multi-cultural story spans across the globe and shakes up the very core of world religion. With an anything but traditional good vs. evil theme threaded within the pages, The Promise of God hosts a colorful cast of characters, including a cardinal caught up with a crime ring, another who discovers shocking and world-changing information about his roots and a media mogul who is spurred on a spiritual mission at the loss of his wife. The novel has "movie" written all over it and will keep you at the edge of your seat with no chance of putting the book down! Tell all your friends.
