For fans of thrillers and suspense, with a Christian twist.

“Dad. This isn’t for me…is it?”

The holy glow of an ancient artifact illuminates Matthew and his father.

In the past two months, Matthew has learned an untold secret of his father’s past, and the family secret they are sworn to protect. It all started when a figure from the past approached Matthew’s best friend. A person with sinister motives who believes he is working for Jesus, and will stop at nothing to set his plan in motion.

Matthew Light is the last son in a long line of pastors that stretches back thousands of years. Follow Matthew's journey as he discovers the secrets of his family’s past, and the repercussions on those closest to him.

This incredible journey, of a family that walks a spiritual road to honor their families responsibility of guarding a priceless Christian Artifact for thousands of years is an amazing read.

I felt like I was back in high school praying for the end of class because the teacher made class so boring.

Great story bad narration

Did not like the predominance of “relic worship” theme. The theology of bringing the old covenant into the new covenant age was also disturbing to me.

Good adventure story

I took a gamble and so glad I did! One person said it was slow moving, I didn’t see it that way. There are a number of characters and back story. So- it takes a hot minute to get to the meat- but made the story that much richer! And someone claimed not to read if you were a Christian. I am one, and proud of it, but not sure what was so ‘bad’? There were numerous excerpts of sermons that kept you engaged, the overall message of Christ and what He did for us is shared throughout. There is spiritual warfare all around us and this was a book presenting a hypothetical battle. I’m pleased I took the chance. Fixing to read the next one in the series. It’s hard to find ‘good’ Christian fiction unless you are all about romantic love stories. If you want to see more books in this genre, you gotta be willing to support the authors out there writing it! ❤️

Most of the way through the second chapter and totally giving up on this book. The writing seems very clunky and the narrating paced speaking is highly annoying to me.

Clunky and boring

I was excited to read the book initially. But the storyline is so slow so many irrelevant details just couldn’t even finish it. Don’t waste your money.

So so slow

For me, the story moved too slow and there was too much preaching. I'm a Christian and very familiar with the Bible - I have read through the entire Bibke more than once. For me, way too much time was spent on preaching. I got bored. I don't generally get bored during audio books, and I read a lot of different genres. I needed the story to move faster and get to what the main theme is. I found myself getting frustrated with the story not moving forward. I got about 3/4 of the way through before I stopped.

Too slow moving

as a Christian I could not. This is sci-fi not biblical. The first 7 chpts are boring because the narration is so bad. No where near Peretti's work which is much better.
I gave it a chance but it is a waste.

I wanted to enjoy this, but

Slow disjointed story and an even worse choppy narration. I could only take so much before it became a no go for me.

Terrible
