Critic reviews

"Weber keeps the pacing brisk and loads the narrative with enough surprise turns to keep readers guessing to the end." ( Publishers Weekly)

Really inspirational

I really love this Book-it really was realistic to what may happen in the churches today and that we are all human no matter what title we may hold GOD has the answer.

Good Listen-Hope To See More

I really liked this book. It was quick paced and I enjoyed the story from the different points of view. I will say that the one-dimensional female characters bothered me. They all seemed to be single-minded schemers except for one; I would have liked to see the character of Savannah developed more-- I felt like the author wanted to tell more of her story, but stopped short. In all, though, the book was an enjoyable listen. I'd like to see more Carl Weber books on audible.
