A MUST READ!!!!!!!!

Wow! This is a book hard to put down. It is about a boy named Patch who lives in a world where being a Christian or questioning the non-Christian world about the Christain beliefs is illegal. Patch is in hiding from the head macho Ms. McCry, who wants to bring an end to the Christians. There is also some battles of demons and angles. We can thank God that our world has not come to this. A book for any teen or adult. Read it, you'll be thankful you did.

Amazing Books

I had the hardest time putting this book down! I ordered them to read on a trip, and I hatted the fact that I was almost through with them. I wish there were more books like these! The authors did a great job of describing the characters well. The people are easy to relate to. The books do an excellent job of keeping the readers entertained, but also give advice for every day problems. I highly recommend these books! They are great for teens of any age =).

So, so good!

Once I started reading this book, I had a hard time putting it down! This story chronicles a world where it's illegal for Christians to speak up about their faith. It follow's a boy named Patch as he denies what is to be "the norm" and ends up in a mental facility. But something happens--while in the mental facility, he starts to tell others about God. And the remarkable thing is, it sparks interest and questions. Of course, I am not going to chronicle the entire book, but I will tell you that it's something that you won't want to put down once you start reading it! I suggest reading this book and then passing it one to someone who might not be saved. Or even to someone who is---and be thankful that it's not illegal for us to show our faith!
