This is a very thorough and honest review! I’m a Christian myself, I think I wouldn’t mind reading this though I haven’t encountered a book so religiously told. I’m gonna give this a try.

“Beyond the Fire” depicts insightful circumstances of the harsh realities of the world and the people that live in it. While incorporating the miracles that come from the gift of prayer, Jackson provides a novel that takes you on a spiritual life journey.

An interesting Christian fiction story. Although this genre is not my usual cup of tea, I found that the story, from a sampling, had all the hallmarks of great fiction. Well done.

This seems like such a cool, action-packed book! I definitely noticed what you were saying with this book having a few similarities to the view of Christians depicted in the Gospels. The sample gave me that much. I love Christian fiction so I'm excited about Beyond the Fire. Thanks for the thorough and helpful review :D

Good review. Sounds a little to run of the mill for me. I like a book with action, adventure and mystery.

Your review is all-encompassing. As a Christian, I'm never tired of uplifting Christian Literature and this sounds like a good one to sit down with. Thank you! congratulations on BOTD!

Great review!!! I can't say I've ever read a Christian fiction novel before and I'm not sure this would be the first one I would like to try. The plot doesn't sound that interesting to me.

Beyond the Fire written by Dewayne A. Jackson is an excellent read. At it's core is the Word of God which could offend readers, I had no problem reading about a town Amity. Looking forward to reading the rest of the story! This author is not afraid to wear his religion on his book. Thank you Dewayne A Jackson.

I get confused with too many characters and I'm not into religious theme book so I shall pass on "Beyond the Fire". Congratulation on being BOTD though!

The sample began with a biblical verse and so got my attention... But, then on the very next page when I read about war I lost the interest. I am not a fan of mixing religion and war. I don't think this one is for me. Well, thanks for your efforts.

I like the book, it's my first time to read a plot like this. I like that it mostly deal with faith and retribution. I think it's a bit similar to the pacing of the story with Ken Follet's novels where the story goes beyond from one generation to another. It would be quite a read :D

I read the sample and it just drew me in. I do not usually read religious books, but I think I could get lost in this one. Great review!

I am a Christian so this book seems interesting. A Christian fiction warfare book? Sounds good to me. It presents as a strong trilogy. Very exited to read the intricate details about this unfolding story. Congratulations.
