In a word? Wow. ( ) by C.J. in
It's been a long time since I've read a Christian novel that I've wanted to rave about, and DARK TO MORTAL EYES has just shot to the top of my list. Not only is the pace kept to a breakneck speed, but we get character development too, which so many thriller writers tend to neglect.
Robert Whitlow (Christy award winning author of THE TRIAL & LIFE SUPPORT) had this to say about the book: "In DARK TO MORTAL EYES, Eric Wilson coils suspense as tight as a snake prepared to strike." An apt quote, considering some of the events that transpire, but I'll add no spoilers here. Take this as a hint of what's to come when you pick up this outstanding debut novel (which is the first in a series devoted to the five senses). But reader beware - don't expect to know right off the bat what's spiritual and what's natural. The lines between those realms blur in this story, but that's what makes it interesting. What IS reality? You'll have to read on to find out, which is exactly what I did, savoring every page.
I'll leave the plot summaries to others, but suffice it to say that ultimately good triumphs over evil, with one heck of a battle in between. Kudos, Eric, for making it gritty while keeping it clean. I also found it refreshing that the spiritual insights were unashamedly woven into the plot without compromising the suspense.
Highly recommended to all thriller fans, but especially those of Alton Gansky, Frank Peretti, Ted Dekker & James Pence. DARK TO MORTAL EYES is a keeper. Now get out there and buy this book! You won't regret it.

Great Debut () by James in Midwest City, OK
I read this a few months back and am just now getting around to reviewing it. I absolutely loved this book and was instantly drawn to the characters. Eric Wilson is one of if not my favorite author. I love the subject that he deals with and the way he goes about writing the story. He deals with subject that a lot of Christian writers dont deal with not to say that his books are written for Christians because they really arent.
Truly Fireproof!!!!!!!!!! () by James in Midwest City, OK
Eric Wilson does it again with his newest novelization of a Kendrick brothers movie. I cant compare this to the movie as I have not seen it yetbut after reading the book I cant wait to see it. The book is about Captain Caleb Holt, an Albany Georgia firefighter who risks his life daily to put out fires and to save lives but it seems that the fire in his 7-yr marriage seems to be going out. His wife says that she doesnt love him and all they do is yell at each other. When Calebs father tells him to give it 40 days and to take the Love Dare, he decides to give it one more go. A great story with great characters. I highly recommend reading the book if you have seen the movie or even if you havent. The only thing though is if you read the book before seeing the movie you may be a little disappointed as Eric Wilson adds a lot of back story and character devolpment that is not in the movie. My wife has also started reading the book and she loves it so far. Again a great book by a great author.
