Sacred Trust (Er Trilogy)

Summary: Touching characters, medical accuracy, and a great plot!
Review: I loved this book.

The characters are wonderful and will live in your heart long after you put the book down. Read the other two books in this series, too, which are equally as good.

I enjoyed the very human qualities of the characters -- they were vulnerable yet all had strengths sometimes they didn't even know they had. Even the Christian characters weren't perfect, but true-to-life, especially Dr. Bower whose endearing mishaps only added to the strength of his character.

Sometimes the middle section of a book sags, but that wasn't true with this book. It started out interesting and remained so throughout.

The one disappointment in the end is not knowing what becomes of Lukas's relationship with Mercy. You have to read the other two books to find out!

A thoroughly satisifying book with a strong (though not intrusive) spiritual message.

Summary: Like ER, but with positive moral values!
Review: I read a lot of Christian books, but most of them are non-fiction. I'm very selective about the fiction I read - there's just not enough time to read all the good stuff out there! I used to enjoy reading Robin Cook's medical suspense books, so I was glad to see this series of three medical/suspense Christian novels.

This is the first of a series - the second is Solemn Oath and last is Silent Pledge. Reading them in order is highly recommended!

This wonderful series is centered around a small-town hospital emergency room in Missouri.

The medical parts ring true for a good reason - Hannah Alexander is a pen name for a husband/wife writing team and the husband is an ER physician! These books will appeal to both men and women, and contain suspense, drama, a little romance and a lot of inspiration. I became very attached to the characters of Lukas, Mercy, Clarence, Ivy, and many more. The story also paints a wonderful picture of God's forgiveness and grace in the character of Theodore and others' responses to him.

The only downside to these books is that there are only 3 of them and I've read them all...

Happy reading!

Summary: A book men and women will both enjoy
Review: There's plenty of drama and just enough romance that both men and women will enjoy this fast-paced medical drama. The medical terminology is well-used and realistic, but what captured me most were the personalities of the characters. The authors have a way of making the reader care about emergency room patients we'd only met a page or two ago. Very well-drawn and real characters -- heroes and heroines, but very human too...people I could relate to. Best of all, there are two more books in the series!

Summary: Wonderful Reading
Review: This was my first read of a book by Hannah Alexander. I read a lot of Christian fiction and am often disappointed in a book's slow beginning. Not this book!! I was immediately taken in by the characters and their lives. All characters were believable and the dialouge was fantastic. I love reading good books...I got so caught up in this one, that I read it in just a couple of days. Then I was frustrated because it was over and I didn't have the next in the series.

I have found a new favorite in this writing team of Hannah Alexander and am anxious for the next in the series "Solemn Oath" to arrive in the mail.
