Summary: At Last!!!
Review: This first book in the Chambers of Justice series introduces Will Chambers, attorney at law. I like the clever but not too cutesy play on words and I really like what promises to be a great new reading experience. Craig Parshall has been a successful attorney for over twenty years and now shows himself to be a gifted writer as well.
THE RESURRECTION FILE refers to the case that down- on- his-luck-attorney Will Chambers is working on. As a matter of fact it's the only case that he has to work on since his law firm recently "disengaged" him and the only clients that he has had lately were "slow pays" or "no pays." All of this trouble only serves to feed the depression that Will has been nurturing since his wife was murdered. The fact that he keeps trying to solve his problems with alcohol has only made things worse.
Like Will himself, the case seems hopeless. A small-time preacher, Angus MacCameron, has written a scathing commentary on the recently published scientific findings of Dr. Albert Reichstad. Findings which claim that the Resurrection of Jesus Christ was only a myth; further stating that he has proof that the body of Jesus is still in the tomb. Reichstad hires a high-powered attorney to sue the preacher. Like chasing a mouse with a nuclear bomb. It certainly raises the question, "why would a renowned scientist be so upset over the words of an unknown preacher in an even lesser known publication?"
As the answers to that question unfold, so does this thought provoking tale. It's a compelling, realistic story right off the front pages. And, as Will is pursuing truth, God is pursuing Will and the author easily incorporates Will's spiritual awakening without ever being preachy.

Summary: Awesome stuff!
Review: This was my first Craig Parshall read, awesome stuff! Instantly you find yourself pulling for Angus MacCameron, and more importantly, the truth! Will Chambers has the attitude that gives you s smile at times, and then there's times where I couldn't help but feel sorry for him. This is the first of a 4 book series, so I'll certainly be reading more of Mr. Parshall in the future! Angus MacCameron is being sued for defamation of character of a well respected professor, and he turns to Will Chambers, an alcoholic lawyer for help. I like how early on, Angus compares the Christian walk as to a coliseum, "Will you be standing with the Christians, down in the blood and sand, when the lions come charging-or will you be with the pagans, cheering up in the stands?" That poses an awesome question that each of us have to answer one day. This was more than just a courtroom thriller, it was more than a mystery. Well worth the read!

Review: This was my first Craig Parshall read, awesome stuff! Instantly you find yourself pulling for Angus MacCameron, and more importantly, the truth! Will Chambers has the attitude that gives you the will to smile at times, and then there's times where I couldn't help but feel sorry for him. But you can see the wheels turning through his head as well. This is the first of a 4 book series, so I'll certainly be reading more of Mr. Parshall in the future! Angus MacCameron is being sued for defamation of character of a well respected professor, and he turns to Will Chambers, an alcoholic lawyer for help. I like how early on, Angus compares the Christian walk as to a coliseum, "Will you be standing with the Christians, down in the blood and sand, when the lions come charging-or will you be with the pagans, cheering up in the stands?" I can easily see Sean Connery playing an Angus MacCameron. That poses an awesome question that each of us have to answer one day. This was more than just a courtroom thriller, it was more than a mystery. Well worth the read!

Summary: Outstanding beginning of a series!
Review: What a find this was! I won't repeat the plot line like several others. Rather, I'll say that this first novel caused me to rush to my computer to buy all 4 that have been released and to pre-order the one releasing in January! Parshall does a fine job with characterization, creating 3-D likeable characters. Attorney Will Chambers struggles with internal and external forces to get his life and career back on track. We end up with a close study of the man plus an intriguing plot and some great courtroom dialog. I have now read all 4 of the Will Chambers books and can't wait for the next one. They have each been unique and exciting to read...enough action to keep you up late because you just have to find out what will happen. This author is a treasure. The added prize is the deep spirituality of his Christian message. There is something (and most likely everything) to delight all readers in this book and in all his books.

Summary: John Grisham fans will love this author!
Review: Will Chambers is a down - trodden, alcholic attorney whose life has been in a downward spiral since even before his estranged, yet beloved wife's murder. Now, he finds himself kicked out of his firm, abandoned by his friends and associates, and with two clients left; a deadbeat and a pastor with a case that is, kindly stated, strange. Reverend MacCameron is the defendant in a defamation case, having published an article attacking a recent archaelogical discovery that, if true, would render Christianity a sham. It is Will's job to not only save his client's reputation, but also to defend the truth of Christ's rising from the dead. Since Will is an agnostic, this will be a challenge. Will finds that he is facing the powers of darkness, and that those forces are reaching out to destroy him as well as his clients. At the same time, the world itself teeters on extinction as terrorists mobilize weapons of mass destruction. *... In a novel that reaches out to fans of Grisham, the LEFT BEHIND series, and Indianna Jones, Mr. Parshall begins what looks to be a groundbreaking and promising series. Will is a hero that will be easily sympathized with by the legions of less than perfect readers who might be tired of "perfect" heroes and heroines. The action is absorbing, whether legal or historical, and the reader will come away with renewed faith and also with a greater knowledge than he or she had before the book. *...

Summary: Resurrection File
Review: WOW! I've been looking for a good Christian fictional writer for some time now and I think I've finally found him. I am interested in mystery, intrigue and a good plot, not just a love story with a happy ending. I found Resurrection File just as wonderful and intriguing as the Left Behind series. Thank you Craig Parshall! I anxciously await your next book in the Chambers of Justice series.
