Providence (my novel) is now available online!


Hello blog followers.
 
PROVIDENCE:

Jude had obediently performed his duties for several millennium. He had executed the Will of God without question or hesitation. That is, until recently. Now he felt the onslaught of human emotions invading his being at the very core. As he struggles with his internal conflict, forces larger than he pull him in directions he had never imagined before.  Just as he thinks he is about to regain control of himself, he encounters her. A waitress at a BBQ restaurant in Texas.  What she does to him he never expected.

With the demon, Mia, seeking his soul and a Texas Ranger pursuing him for the death of a stripper, Jude finds he has nowhere left to turn. Alone for the first time in his existence, he runs. What he finds was the last thing he was looking for…

Book Review, The Name Quest, by John Avery

My Book Review, The Name Quest, by John Avery

Overall I felt the information in the book was very insightful and dove deeply into the varying aspects of God in relation to the names or descriptions that have been used to describe him throughout the Bible.  There were plenty of Biblical references, commentary, and anecdotal compliments to expand on each point.

Unfortunately, I felt the presentation to be a little chaotic.  It seemed at times that the information was being poured down my throat without any recognizable organization.  However, that may be just the way I absorb information.  For example, I expected the names to be neatly packaged into broader compartments that shared common characteristics – instead what I discovered was a continual exposure to information that I found hard to digest and retain.

In all fairness to the author, I believe the book would serve a reader with a more distinct purpose (research or study guide) than it did me, reading for pleasure.  Even though I do find the subject matter intriguing and helpful, the organization caused me to have difficulty navigating my way through it.

If someone were doing research or specifically focused on the subject I would recommend this book, but if you just searching for casual reading this book may not be for you.

I received this book from the publisher through BookCrash. I am not being compensated for my review. If you are interested in purchasing this book you can do so at http://www.amazon.com/review/R13URWVUY2W0CL/ref=cm_cr_pr_viewpnt#R13URWVUY2W0CL
