Review
I just finished reading your book. Once I started it, there was no putting it down, it wouldn't let me. I felt the spirit of the Lord in the pages of your book talking to me, embracing me, and loving me. I laughed and I cried, I was angry and joyful, but I never stopped reading. Girlfriend, you have a beautiful gift from the Lord, cherish and nurture it. I can't stop talking about you, with book in hand, to everyone I meet. Thank you for sharing your gift with me. -- Denise Vizcarrondo- New Orleans, Louisiana

Christian Book-NOT!,
By A.W. Christian Reviewer "A.W. Christian Reviewer" (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: No Weapons Formed Against Me (Paperback)
I am truly disappointed by this book. This book is a poor example of Christian behavior! Oftentimes the characters cursed and in the next sentence they referenced God! They cursed, fornicated, shacked, drinked, partied like the world--you name it, the Blackman family did it!! What's the message here? A major disturbing episode was, the shacking of Jaszmine and Taylor, after which Jaszmine stated that she knows morally living together before marriage is wrong, but she wasn't sure of God's point of view. What!! The devil is a lie!! Secondly, Zaria, the pastor, stated on several occassions that she didn't mean to be judgmental towards her family. Wake up!! When you see the outpouring of sin, there is no need to be judgmental! Sin speaks for itself!! Finally, I would like to ask Ms. Pierce what is her definition of Christianity, as what was displayed in this novel is SCARY!! If this is the style of Ms. Pierce, count me out. I will not read another novel, unless I decide to read a typical worldly book. In addition to the above, the story was very predictable. Saints, if you really want to read a Christian novel, try "Promises Beyond Jordan."

This review is from: No Weapons Formed Against Me (Paperback)
When I saw the title of this book, I knew I had to read it. This is the scripture that has saved me throughout my walk with Christ. This is an excellent book. You will cry, laugh, and feel the pain and spirit of the Blackmans as they live. Rebecca Nails-Pierce is an excellent storyteller. Read this book and you won't be disappointed. You will be reminded of someone with every character in this books. They are real. I especially related to Zaria, the woman minister. God Bless you, Rebecca and I look forward to your next book.
