This is without a doubt one of the best political thriller novels I’ve ever read. I read this book about 20 years ago and all I remembered was I loved it. So, I came across it again and decided to read it. Wow! The book will keep you glued to the page until the very last word. There’s no stopping to breathe, unless you just close the book.

This novel was written after 9/11, but it’s very relevant to today. I love the way the author brings in the Christian faith and explains the differences between Christianity and Islam. I’ve learned so much.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves political, military suspense/thrillers. Hold on tight cause this book will take you on a white-knuckle ride from beginning to end.… (mere)

A thought-provoking book about Christian community, in the best sense. Starting with the command to love one another, the authors look at several 'one another' verses from the New Testament. They suggest what they might have meant, and how they can be applied today.

I was particularly taken with their interpretation of the idea of submitting to one another, which was rather different from standard evangelical teaching, yet seemed much more akin to what would have been meant.

Not sure how far I will put this into practise, but it would be very encouraging to see more real community within the Christian church. I shall certainly be reading this again in future.

Four and a half stars, really.… (mere)
