  • Evaluating . . . All Souls

          All Souls, A Gatehouse Thriller (#1) by K. T. Kaufman (aka Karin Kaufman), is available on Kindle for readers who enjoy contemporary speculative thrillers. K. T. Kaufman has written a thoughtful, disturbing story for the first book in her Gatehouse Thriller Series. Jane Piper is a hunter of "Sacks". Sacks are those…

  • Another look . . .

          Visiting over here again. So as you virtually sit in this pretty place with a book or e-reader, perhaps you can leave a comment about your thoughts on being a reader over there.   Lord, thank you for always accompanying me even when I'm wrong. I'm desperate for you. In the Name…

  • An Honor . . .

         It has been my honor and my pleasure to have read all of Vince Flynn's novels and to share my reviews of them with you. If you haven't had the privilege to read these amazing stories which nail down the current state of our country, I hope you will make the time to read…

  • He is . . . The Last Man

      (Reprinted from November 22, 2012)                                     I knew I'd feel like this after I finished Vince Flynn's latest release The Last Man. I tried to take my time with it, but you just can't do that with a Mitch Rapp novel. Huh-uh. Just. Can't. Now I have to wait for the…

  • In a noble . . . Pursuit of Honor

      (Reprinted from October 28th, 2009; my first read and review of a Vince Flynn novel)                                         Haven’t I described myself as a rule-breaker when it comes to writing? Well, I officially broke my own self-imposed rule of reading only Christian fiction. And let me tell you why. Recently on the radio…

  • Sunday’s Offerings

      Then Caleb silenced the people before Moses and said, "We should go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly do it."   Numbers 13:30 (NIV)

  • Having to use . . . Extreme Measures

      (Reprinted from July 20th, 2010)                                            Vince Flynn is a New York Times Bestselling novelist which in all seriousness should speak volumes to that newspaper. He’s a political thriller writer who’s not afraid to portray the shady shameful workings of those people who’ve been voted into office by unsuspecting citizens. He’s bold…

  • Determined to . . . Protect and Defend

      (Reprinted from July 12th, 2010)                             Vince Flynn’s Protect and Defend could’ve been written today, but it was published in 2007 which means he probably wrote it sometime in 2006, possibly 2005. And that’s the way it is with Vince’s novels. They’re poignant, impeccably researched with sources probably too deep to expose, and…

  • Committing an . . . Act of Treason

      (Reprinted from June 30th, 2010)                                               Consent to Kill by Vince Flynn left off with Mitch Rapp’s version of justice, an ending which brought me to tears and displayed some of Vince Flynn’s best writing to that point. In Act of Treason we pick up on Mitch’s reaction to his loss after…
