Summary: Unique, suspenseful, and well-developed
Review: A hardened, "dysfunctional" murderer becomes a sincere, suffering soul who senses others' pain intensely. Why? He is injected with an extract of Jesus' blood. Then...something proves terribly wrong, and a heart-wrenching internal struggle begins. Counter this dynamic with the protaganist's potential romatic interest--a woman who rightly is thrust into the ultimate "love/hate" dilemma. Myers combines crisp, driven prose with a cast of characters that are complex without being complicated. I cared for the people in this story--and sometimes that meant being torn between good people going in contrary directions. The pages turned quickly, as the author weaves spirituality with a host of psychological, moral and ethical challenges. Fantastic stuff!

Summary: A Good Thriller
Review: BLOOD OF HEAVEN is an above-average thriller that should please fans looking for suspense and supernatural intrigue. The book's concept is based upon DNA research and, thus, is quite contemporary. Bill Myers seems to have done his homework, since the factual elements of the story come across as well researched (though now a bit dated, since the mapping of the genome has been completed). The story starts fast, introducing all the key players early and effectively, and only picks up the pace from there. I was engrossed from the very beginning. Unfortunately, I don't believe that Myers pulled of the finish as effectively as another more experienced author might have. The plot seems to unravel a bit about two-thirds of the way through, and though the resolution works I felt a bit of a letdown when I was finished. That being said, it shouldn't prevent anyone from picking this one up. On the whole, BLOOD OF HEAVEN is a great read. Myers really is a good writer (he proved that with ELI), and my complaint isn't nearly serious enough to warrant a warn-off. Myers also effectively wraps in some powerful messages and warnings to today's church, and astute Christians would do well to pick up and ponder on them (in particular, the "law without mercy" thread). If you are a fan of authors like Frank Peretti, Sigmund Brouwer, or even Michael Crichton, you will probably be interested in this book (which is only the first in the FIRE OF HEAVEN trilogy). It's a fun, quick read that will have leave you wanting more.

Summary: Blood of Heaven was so awsome that I couldn't put it down
Review: Blood of Heaven is one of the most amazing books i've read. At only 12 years old i thought i'd stop reading it in less than a day. wrong. Blood of Heaven had so much action and involvment i spent several afternoons reading. Bill Myers did an excellent job.

Summary: 1st of 3 great books!
Review: Blood of Heaven is the first of a series of three wonderful books with an entirely original treatment of the end days. Myers just may be better than Milton in justifying God's ways to man! Real people with real weaknesses are portrayed realistically in their trials to overcome evil with good. The characterization was as good as the plot, which is a rare find. The overall message was extremely thought-provoking and ultimately uplifting spiritually. I strongly recommend all three books: Blood of Heaven, Threshold, and Fire of Heaven.

Summary: Synopsis:
Review: Dr.Philip O'Brien wants to change the world. Convicted murderer Michael Coleman only wants to change his upcoming date with the electric chair." Both get what they want and more when Coleman becomes Dr. O'Brien's human guinea pig in order to avoid execution.
O'Brien's experiment in Blood of Heaven, by Bill Myers, puts DNA reproduced from a bloodstain believed to belong to Jesus Christ into Coleman's body. The results are so astonishing that the researchers release Coleman under an assumed identity, bringing the experiment to a new level.
Soon Coleman discovers an evil purpose behind the project, and he tries to stop it before it threatens humanity.
Blood of Heaven's unique storyline mingles suspense and thought-provoking dialogue, entertaining readers and making them think about the ethical limits of genetics and the moral crisis inside the heart of man.
Written by Myers, an experienced fiction writer and filmmaker who has won 40 national and international awards, Blood of Heaven follows the pattern of current techno-thriller books and movies

Summary: WOW, This Guy Can Write!
Review: Ever since my bout with a serious illness I've had a constant passion for "Christian Fiction" based novels. I am constantly amazed at how many different concepts writers can devise based on the life of Christ. This book is by far the most entertaining "Christian Fiction" novel I have read to date, and you certainly do not need to be a Christian to enjoy it. This book is in a class by itself. It is the first book I have ever read through in one sitting - it really keeps you on the edge of your seat! The characters in this book are so real they come to life before your very eyes. Absolutely superb writing and well researched. Thanks Bill for the GREAT READ!
