Threshold

This is the second novel in the "Fire of Heaven" series, and I wasn't disappointed, even though others who have read it through looked for something else along the lines of "Blood of Heaven." This is not "Blood of Heaven," nor should it be, because it tackles some other topics in the classic Myers fashion.Brandon Martus is the focus of this novel, as well as his friend, Sarah, and the story revolves around trying to get Brandon to explore his PSI potential. Unfortunately, his nemesis (darker forces) don't succeed in getting Brandon on their team. Then there's Gerty, the elderly woman who can see the future, and who is absorbed in the Truth of Scripture and prays and fasts for this young man so he can ultimately recognize the counterfeit from the true.Again, this is not like the first novel, although it is just as riveting and enjoyable. It raises interesting and provocative ideas and questions the reader's own presuppositions. I highly recommend this book. It's an excellent departure from the other speculative books on the market. And Myers is a superb craftsman in his field.

This is the second book from Bill Myers that I read and I had as much trouble putting down this book as I did with his first one (Blood of Heaven).The description and action in this one kept me interested all the way through...the ending of course spells sequel which I found in "Fire of Heaven". What I didn't know was that is would tie two almost unrelated stories together.Bill Myers, I hope you continue to write more adult fiction. The characters and plots are well put together.

Threshold is the second of a series of three wonderful books with an entirely original treatment of the end days. Myers just may be better than Milton in justifying God's ways to man! Real people with real weaknesses are portrayed realistically in their trials to overcome evil with good. The characterization was as good as the plot, which is a rare find. The overall message was extremely thought-provoking and ultimately uplifting spiritually. I strongly recommend all three books: Blood of Heaven, Threshold, and Fire of Heaven.

This book was so captivating that I could not seem to put it away. It caught and held my attention, something most books cannot do! I have told all my friends about it!! Thanks for writing such a good book Bill!

I could tell you a lot about this book. The fact that it shows the thresholds we deal with... on an emotional level; on an intellectual level; on a physical level; and on a spiritual level. But that's not the point. The point is this... this book will jar your sense of theology, idealogy, and reality. Maybe you don't like it when the fiction of a story becomes a possible reality. Maybe you're the type to want to have a nice safe outline of events that you can leave with the book when you put it down. Maybe you're one of those people who likes everything to stay "fantasy" and not mess with your "theology." Then maybe this isn't the book for you. But if you like to be challenged, stretched, and probed when it comes to what you think about God, all while enjoying a great story along the way, then maybe this IS the book for you. And maybe... just maybe... you have the courage to read it. But be warned... you just might end up the better for doing it!
