Book Review: The Ambition by Lee Strobel
Although Lee Strobel is most known for his nonfiction Christian apologetics works including the "Case" series, The Ambition launches his fiction writing career.

Reader Review: Thicker than Blood by C.J. Darlington
Thicker than Blood was a captivating, fast, easy read that was hard to put down. What blessed me most was discovering refreshing, really good fiction that tackled real-life issues without gratuitous language, violence, or sex laced details. I applaud Darlington's ability to prove it can be done.
