“Fountains of the Deep” Reviewers Write …

★★★★★

This was a hard book for me to read continuously because it kept breaking my heart. So realistic, even though a work of fiction …. This story will stick with me for a long time; I’m hoping there is more like them to come.

What makes for really good Christian fiction? For me it has to be biblically sound, inspiring, teaching and above all entertaining. From the introduction to the last page, this book definitely fits the bill!

Once I picked it up, this book was hard to put down. The dialogue, action scenes and descriptions in the book were amazing. Would highly recommend.
