“The superb caliber of writing, intricate development of the plot and the detailed creation of a future world make this excellent novel [SWORDSMAN] flow. The rich, multifaceted characters their trials and triumphs keep the reader engrossed in this fast-paced, futuristic story. Reading it will be worth every minute of sleep you lose. Once you open its pages, you will not be able to put it down until the last word is read.” Alicia M. Singleton, independent book reviewer
“Besides the technical things, (plot, dialogue, etc.), this book has enlightened me on a completely different level. I could relate to the characters because they were real to me. I had the same questions and doubts that they did. I was only doing one thing wrong: I was talking to people instead of talking to God.” C.P., college student
“Incredibly written, and definitely worth the time it took to read.” S.L., college student
“The Fellowship of the Mystery is a gourmet feast for the mind and heart. No church or public library could make a better investment on behalf of its patrons than this outstanding series. If the powerfully positive impact this series has had in the mind and hear of this lifelong voracious reader is a valid indicator, no home in which dwells at least one person who treasures excellent Christian novels will want to miss having a personal set.” Charles Collier, from Missouri
“I was especially pleased that the book touched the hearts of several students and has led them back to prayer and seeking God’s heart.” a professor at a secular university
“Don Cole’s character made me wonder if there actually are people out there that were sent to this earth from God for a specific purpose.” college student
“Nearly jumping off the page to become part of the reader’s daily thoughts, the characters’ lives intersect in unusual ways as they navigate a treacherous world where all the lines defining the human experience are being aggressively blurred and the only permanent fixture in life is the demand to blindly accept the status quo.” Dr. Stephanie Bennett, Professor of Communications
“Until I read this, I didn’t realize how much my own life had evil in it. . . . It really got me to look at my own religion. It showed me how I have fallen away . . . [and] made me realize also that I can talk to God, and ask him for forgiveness.” E.C., college student
“I loved the in-depth, complex characters.” J. L., college student
“While reading, I found myself questioning my own relationship with God and realized there wasn’t one. Now I’m trying to start fresh and build a new relationship with Him.” S. O., college student
“It touched my soul and opened me up to God for the first time in a while. When I finished reading one night, I prayed. I haven’t prayed in a number of years because of my selfish religious accusations. Now I find myself talking to God several times throughout the day.” N.M.
“I found myself continually planning what I would do to respond to situations in the book . . . and had to keep reminding myself that they had not really happened!” K. T. of Puyallup, WA
“SWORDSMAN and it’s two companion books actually let you see how an individual or society can slide into a Hitleresque abyss–one compromise at a time. Yet all is not dark. Terry consistently weaves light throughout the trilogy—with characters whose courage and tenacity hold the line against evil or whose acts of love and self-sacrifice demonstrate God’s faithfulness and renewing grace.” Amazon.com reviewer
“It was so descriptive and well-written. I felt as if I was in the story with the characters, experiencing their pain, and sadness, and happiness. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys reading about how the Lord can affect a person and completely change a person’s life.” S.S., college student
