CFBA: Fear Has a Name

This week, the Christian Fiction Blog Alliance is introducing Fear Has a Name David C. Cook (June 1, 2013) by Creston Mapes

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Creston has fond memories of his boyhood in Bath, Ohio, where he became enchanted with his future wife, way back in the fourth grade. His father, Bernie, owned and operated The Weathervane Furniture Shop in town. The whole family lived right upstairs in the century-old house known as "The Shop."

Creston studied journalism at Bowling Green State University, then began his writing career. During the past 30 years, he has worked as a reporter, corporate copywriter, creative director, freelance writer, and author.


ABOUT THE BOOK

From popular suspense author Creston Mapes comes another faith-building thriller, a tale that follows journalist Jack Crittendon as he fights to protect his family from a stalker's terrifying schemes, investigates a pastor's mysterious disappearance, and struggles to keep his faith amidst unthinkable fear.

With his family's safety on the line, Crittendon realizes there are secrets behind "Christian" walls--secrets with painful, deadly implications. He must find the faith to trust a God who allows inconceivable trials, and the courage to guard his family, with danger exploding at every turn.

Through it all--the sharp, character-driven writing for which Mapes is known--takes fans and new readers on an edge-of-your-seat journey that explores the harsh, far-reaching consequences of bullying and the Christian response to fear.

MY THOUGHTS
Do you like suspense?  From the first page of the book my nerves were on edge.  Pamela is home with her 2 young children the first time....then later, alone in a car on a bridge on a stormy night.  Her husband is arrested, but did he do it?

As the book carries on, things get worse and worse, the only thing left is faith, faith to believe that the stalker will be caught, that the truth will be revealed, but how long will it take, can they survive?

I really enjoyed this book, I'm certain that if I hadn't been so tired the night I first opened it, I would have read it straight through.  If you like suspense and a bit of terror you'll love this thrilling read.
