More About the Author

Born in Dallas, TX March 1978, Montre Bible has been writing stories all his life. When he was in grade school he baffled his teachers when he'd turn in four page short stories when they only expected students to write a paragraph. In truth his first "book" was a story written in fifth grade about a talking duck-billed platypus. He always had an affinity to spiritually motivated stories with an imaginative twist. As a boy authors such as C.S. Lewis inspired him with the Chronicles of Narnia. Through his life he grew up in a very religious family and spent much time studying religious doctrine as well as ancient mythology. He published his first novel Heaven Sent in 2005. Heaven Sent was the beginning of a series of books about a family who are blood descendants from fallen angels and have been bestowed with supernatural powers. Now living in Los Angeles, CA, Montre Bible continues writing the Heaven Sent Series as well as working on screenplay projects. Other than writing, Montre Bible expresses his creativity as an actor, model, and illustrator and sometimes considers himself a "Neo-Renaissance" man.

4.0 out of 5 stars Awesome!, December 2, 2005

This review is from: Heaven Sent (Paperback)

Heaven Sent is quick and easy read, sure to grasp many readers' attention. I like how this book tied in elements of spiritual warfare and gifts, concepts which so many Christians ignore. The plot is compelling and interwoven with apologetics to convince skeptical readers of the Bible's truth, though Andrew's story is a little exaggerated.

Being a high school senior myself, I relate to Andrew's struggles, and I was drawn to the book because I felt he gave words to many struggles in my spiritual life that I haven't been able to give words to.

Awesome job Montré Bible, can't wait for the next one!

This review is from: Heaven Sent (Paperback)

HEAVEN SENT by Montre' Bible is the story of Andrew Turner, a typical seventeen year old high school student, who finds out his life is not as it appears, and nothing like he had been led to believe. During the prime of his teen years, he realizes the person he thought he was is far from the person he really is.

Andrew was raised in a single parent home. His father walked out, and Andrew's mother became his life. He works a part time job to help make ends meet and would do any and everything in his power to ensure his mother's happiness. When she begins to take ill, Andrew wonders what his life would be like if she were no longer in it. His deepest fear comes true when his mother dies and Andrew is left all alone.

As if dealing with his mother's death isn't enough, he also goes to live with his mother's best friend and her daughter in another city, leaving all his friends and classmates behind. When Andrew begins to have blackouts, dizzy spells and terrifying visions that reveal he may have supernatural powers, he unsuccessfully tries to keep his symptoms to himself so people won't think he is crazy. In the midst of it all, his estranged father comes back into his life.

While he is adjusting to living with his mother's best friend and the reappearance of his father, secrets are revealed to Andrew about his parents. He finds out that he is a half angel and half human and, that there is a demonic spirit that is trying to take over his life and his soul. Feeling like he is in the twilight zone, but finally coming to grips with who and what he is, Andrew is determined to win this spiritual warfare and prove that good does rule over evil.

HEAVEN SENT is a fast-paced, suspenseful read I couldn't put down. Written with well-developed characters and a very unique storyline, this is not your average Christian Fiction read. Although it dealt with supernatural and demonic issues, it also showed no matter how much evil there is, good will always win. The story was not at all preachy, but in fact intriguing, and had me wanting more. Kudos to Bible on his debut novel.

4.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining Angels Unaware, August 12, 2005

This review is from: Heaven Sent (Paperback)

Has anyone ever told you to be careful when you entertain strangers because you could be entertaining an angel unaware? In this coming of age Christian Fiction novel, Montre Bible has taken this particular passage of scripture from the New Testatment and combined it with passages of scripture in the Old Testament that prove that there were beings who were part angel and part human called Nephilim. Further research says that these part angel/part human were giants who roamed the earth all those years ago.

Meet Andrew Turner, your typical high school senior who is dealing with what most young men his age experience. Coming into his manhood, falling for a girl who just likes him as a friend, holding down a part time job after school, and helping his mother around the house as she struggles to take care of him by herself. Then suddenly Andrew's world is turned upside down in one day.

Andrew would always have dreams, but they were coming more frequently and more vividly, while it seemed at the same time his mother was literally losing her mind. When his mother's biological mother passes away, Andrew's past, present and future is revealed to him, his past being the pivotal point in his life. He soon learns that his mother's illness was all part of an unholy plan that will test his faith and touch everything he loves. Andrew's experiences will teach him that he has to stand strong in the Word and put his faith and trust in God.

Author Montre Bible has written a fictional but spiritual novel that challenges readers to look at their own spiritual lives and the gifts and talents they possess from God, to seek Him and allow them to be used. Mr. Bible's twist on his biblical insight concerning angels and humans will cause you to run your own scriptural research to follow along with him as he takes you through the journey with Andrew.
