Summary: Good books all around - great ones, only a few.
Review: And this is a GREAT book! My copy is probably more marked up, underlined, and dog-eared than my Bible I've had since second grade! I've recommended this novel to all my friends and family who will listen; several finally gave in and enjoyed it. NOTE: It will be easier to read for those of faith, who believe God can and does talk to us in modern times. But the story is a good one for everyone - a story of morals, standing for what you believe in, and not giving up . . . despite all the World may throw at us. T.J. Case sacrificed his political career when he crossed the party line and backed a Republican friend for his U.S. Congress race. When he felt he had lost everything, God gave him a vision to go to Washington. He went thinking he was to work with the administration in the Education arena. What actually happened was the explosion of support for a daily Bible Study in the White House - which ultimately leads to a major change for many, many of the nation's leaders. These few words cannot begin to explain the amazing story found in this book. Every time I read this book, I have to pause now and then to get the tears outta my eyes (I hate crying, but this is worth it). Racial barriers are broken down, and love for your fellow man begins to grow. Caring for the poor and homeless is another heart-warming side story. I'm no longer interested in politics, although I am a Gov't Attorney. And books like this give me some hope that I can make a difference, and that there are people out there who care about issues as much as I do. Hope you enjoy it!!

Summary: The Presence
Review: I have read most of T. Davis Bunn's books, as well as many, many other Christian books. This is my hands-down favorite! It speaks to today, it speaks to my heart and it jives with my spirit. I read it right after it was published and have read it probably 5-6 times since...it never fails to lift me, humble me, and make me cry! If you like Christian fiction, this is a MUST-READ (over and over again).

Summary: Christian fiction at it's apex .
Review: I have read several of the author's books, and his works gracefully reveal a knowledge of the world enhances and flavors each work in a way that few writers offer.

Summary: The Presence by T. Davis Bunn
Review: The author seriously mixes his political opinions with the Word of God. It's a slow, slow book that does not live up to the potential of its theme. The plot is not well developed and characters are left hanging. Take a pass on this one!

Summary: Good writing, but....
Review: Very good written style, but the ending is a little predictable. It feels like a kingdom now book, so you'll like it better if you really believe that Christians will rule the world before Christ comes (which I don't). The voice coming through the man that he can't control becomes a little tiring after a while, though I assume this is the point of the book. I doubt the prophets of old or today have this sort of experience (read the book of Hoseah, for instance--his experience doesn't seem to parallel this at all).

Summary: The Holy Spirit takes Washington D.C. by storm!
Review: What can happen when the Holy Spirit totally takes over the life of just one Washington politician? T. Davis Bunn gives us a glimpse of the awesome ability of God to storm the toughest strongholds when The Presence invades the nation's capitol. Highly recommended!
