Summary: Superlative...Profound...Powerful!!!
Review: This was my first journey into the world of Bill Myers, and I can't say enough about how compelling a journey it was!! I was glued to this book and literally couldn't put it down. Oh, sure, there were those times I had to fight myself not to pick it up..you know, like at work, on the road, wherever I could find a spare minute. Myers writes with incredible power and conviction, and you come to really care for his characters, and in particular Michael Coleman, who doesn't convince easily, but takes a chance by having the blood of Christ put into his own bloodstream and genetic make-up, thus altering the way he views the world and people. Of course there are the villains, and you actually care for them as well. Then there's Katherine Lyon, his sponsor, who he ultimately discovers was one of his victim's spouses, and the story blows you away!! I've been in the criminal justice system for over 20 years, and I could completely relate to this vicious killer - Michael Coleman - and Myers description of his profound change almost brought tears to my eyes and softness to my heart. There are other subplots as well, but I won't spoil it for you. This book is relatively inexpensive on Amazon, so you can pick it up without breaking your pocketbook. If you want inspiring, this is it. If you want powerful, riveting, and the rest, this is it!! Five stars can only minimize what I'd like to give it - how about 20 stars!!

Summary: The Last Word on Blood of Heaven
Review: Well now, let me say that this was an excellent book but of course, it's not for everyone... I'll start off with the negative comments first. If you are looking for a book with tons of spiritual depth and truth, you'll read this book and probally scream, "HERESY!" It was extremely far-fetched as far as Christianity goes. I go as far to say that it was pretty secular. Therefore, if you're the type of person who would get offended at a little symbolism and scientific views, just think to yourself, "It's only fiction." In spite of the above written, I absolutely loved the book. It was one of those books that rarely ever had a dry moment. I could not put the book down. There is a lot of scientific "stuff" in there but they explain it to where it's easy to understand. I applaud the way the Myers wrote three different plots then intertwined them. So what else can I say? The book was completely clean. You could read it without having to worry about language or adult themes. It wasn't offensive, but I'm sure that someone out there would think of it as too extreme and write bitter letters to Bill Myers. If I had to sum up the book in one sentence, I would say that is action packed, science based book with a Christian flavor in it. This my friends, is what you call a review from a college student that is having a hard time putting it into words. Oh well, better luck next review. :)

Summary: Wow! What a concept, highly believable.
Review: When I first read the cover I was intruiged. With todays emphasis on Science as the savior of man Bill Myers craftily weaves together the world of science and spirit in a way that leaves on scratching there head wondering if it really could happen. Science is on a colision course with the spiritual side of man, cloning is just one of many issues where these two world are set to colide. A masterful work indeed.

Summary: Yes this is fiction, and it's good!
Review: When I read this book, christian fiction was very new to me...I was not expecting it to be very good. What a shock I had when I started reading! I could not put it down, it was read in one shot. My congradulations to Bill Myers on his first adult fiction that I know of. (the other two published later are great too)
