Critical acclaim includes this from Jerry Jenkins, Writer of the Left Behind series: Gary’s story has all the twists and turns you want in a yarn that just might keep you up all night. Enjoy and be looking for more from him!
Here’s what best-selling author and pastor Stu Weber had to say: Witing like an evangelical Louis L’Amour, Gary Brumbelow has an uncanny ability–by engaging our senses and implanting us into the middle of the story–to lead us to evaluate our own lives. What might I have done trapped in a similar circumstance! It smacks of my favorite of Jesus’ parables.
