Forsaken is a pretty good story. It's about a private detective assigned to the security detail of a famous televangelist. It was interesting to read a Christian novel with main characters who have such a sordid history, but it was refreshingly real, too. The book is suspenseful enough that it kept me up late to find out what happened, but it seems to have several endings, never really wrapping itself up very well. The characters are interesting, though. Overall, not a bad read. What an intriguing story through former Secret Service now Private Security Personnel Taylor Pasbury's eyes. The entire novel is told in a recitation with bits of humor as if in a verbal report. As a huge Alias/spy-type fan this story was a great fit in genre for me. It is shocking that I had not found author James David Jordan's work before, and now that I have I plan to read much more. I'm especially excited that as soon as I finish this review, I can start reading the sequel to this novel "Forsaken" which is called "Double Cross". Including some of the nit and gritty, this is a very realistic tale that brings to light the good and bad in people. Strength and forgiveness of ones-self are themes as well as terrorism plots and rescue attempts. This was one of those books where when I had to put it down to tend to something else I was amazed at how far I had already read. A page turner and a tool to delve into realism issues of the reader's own-self is only part of what makes this a great book. Highly recommended. *Thanks to Julie of B&H Books for a copy to review.* What an intriguing story through former Secret Service now Private Security Personnel Taylor Pasbury's eyes.

HTML: When Simon Mason, the world's best-known televangelist, receives threats from Muslim terrorists, he hires Taylor Pasbury, a beautiful former Secret Service agent, to take charge of his security. Taylor is thrilled to receive the high-profile assignment, but she has no idea that Simon already knows more about her than she could imagine. When the terrorists strike, making a demand of the pastor that would shake the most steadfast saint, Taylor draws on all of her hard-knock toughness and training as she fights to save Simon and his daughter. Along the way, she discovers that she is not the only one who has done things she would like to forget—and she is not the only one who understands that some things are more important than living. "James David Jordan pens a fascinating tale that is more than a suspense novel. An intimate exploration of the soul's need for acceptance and belonging, it touches the nerves of some of our most sensitive fears and longings. Forsaken is a moving and relevant saga of faith on a collision course with the brutalities of our world." Endorsements: "James David Jordan pens a fascinating tale that is more than a suspense novel.

I couldn't put it down. Forsaken is a must read." —Patricia Rushford, author of Deadly Aim and As Good as Dead "With more twists and turns than a rip-roaring rollercoaster ride, Forsaken will keep you guessing right to final page. You'll find no easy answers here but many to consider." —Ken Abraham, New York Times bestselling author "I have read many enthralling suspense novels, meaningful love stories, and books that challenged my thinking and purpose, but never has a novel combined all three elements with such adeptness as Forsaken." —RelzReviews .Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
