Rating: Summary: Too judgemental for me .. Review: I liked the story but like most Christians, the author judges other religions as if they are not acknowledged by God. I think the sentence that bothered me the most was on page 57 where the author states "His followers make the Muslims in Iran look like Boy Scouts." With the state our country is in right now, we are trying to accept all religions and nationalities as equals, this book promotes prejudice and judgementalness. I won't recommend it for that reason. There are alot of good mysteries out there that don't try and prejudice people against other religions or spiritual practices. Plus it's way too expensive for a paperback!
Rating: Summary: Another Style of Vengeance Review: Mark Earwood knows his turf and introduces you to the real people who live there. I have seen or met in action them myself. Mark spins his yarn in an unpolished style that is typical of his characters. He skillfully achieves realism without coarseness and vulgarity. He tackles the deepest dilemmas that have always plagued the victims of crime and misfortune in lay terms without resorting to cliches and professional jargon. Moreover, Mark arrives at satisfying answers that resolve our questions of justice and redemptions. I would not hesitate to recommend "Vengeance of the Father" to anyone caught up in the violence that besets us.
Rating: Summary: Vengeance of the Father Review: The author, Mark Earwood, is a "trailblazer" in writing a Christian thriller. He does a great job developing the characters and story with suspense and mystery. It is apparent the author has had a personal experience of his own faith in order to portray moral character throughout this novel. The two key Christian concepts demonstrated in this thriller are love and forgiveness. Again, the author is familiar with these concepts as these are fulfilled in relationships in this refreshing literary work. Ending was abrupt but positive in restoration of relationships, new and established.
