5.0 out of 5 stars Storytelling at its best, October 24, 2008

This review is from: Destiny Of The Divas (Paperback)

I devoured this book rather quickly, it had been several years since I have sit still long enough to read, or get enveloped in a fictional story. That said, this was a delightful treat for my mind, body and spirit.
As a female, older than the "target audience" range, I found it most refreshing that the characters were not portrayed as unbelievable comic book heroines, nor did they deal with unrealistic issues. Personally, I was most impressed that the details of the subject matter, kidnapped, missing and exploited children, were kept to a minimum, yet the urgency and importance were pursued with reverence and respectful of 'victims' anywhere and everywhere.
Destiny's Divas activated a "name game" passion within and I thought it fitting to add to Ernie's character naming: Danielle (meaning God is my judge); Dana (meaning coming into own power); Lisa (meaning the consecrated one of divine spirituality); and, Wendy (meaning the wanderer who walks with God). The symbolic meaning to the names, simply added to the author's fitting portrayal of his characters.
The author's attention to the factual statistics and truths regarding abductions, would make the "National Center for Missing and Exploited Children" proud, as a previously active member and volunteer for their photographing and fingerprinting campaigns, my thoughts of this story would be the perfect 'babysitter' gift of awareness - or anyone caring for children. It is also quite apparent that the author knows police procedure, legal loopholes for criminals, as well as forensic evidence, as he references his knowledge in subtle and profound dialogue between his characters.
Destiny's Divas was truly an emotionally charged lesson in the Miracle of youthful purpose and sacrifice, leaving my heart filled with HOPE for our future. It is a story I will remember forever and most definitely share with my grandchildren.

5.0 out of 5 stars I loved it!!!, October 9, 2008

This review is from: Destiny Of The Divas (Paperback)

I started this book awhile ago, and got busy and finally just got to finish it. It is so well written and holds your interest. It starts out with a murder of a child, and you think it is all going to be about that, and it sort of is, but it continues with his sister going about finding his killer. It goes into the paranormal in ways I didn't expect,
and once I began reading it again, I couldn't put it down. My 16 year
old grand daughter was visiting me this past week end, and of course was
bored and I gave her Destiny to read, and she took it home with her and
called me tonight and wanted to know if this author wrote other books, I am sure you or your youngsters in your home will enjoy it. What a great Christmas gift it would make. I highly recommend it.

Destiny of the Divas

This book is a fun fast read. Destiny, looking for her brother's killer forms a band to help in her quest. Without giving the story away, I will just say here is a little paranormal, a little suspense and a little mystery (something for everyone. This is a perfect book for readers of all ages. Teens will love it, also. I wouldn't be afraid to let my 12 year old granddaughter read it.

I can't wait to read Ernie Johnson's next book.
