To Whom Much Is Given

Excellent book, very captivating storyline with characters that all of us can easily relate to. This author rises head and shoulders above his peers as this story is very gracefully and tastefully done. (If he had to stand before his Maker and give an account of the book he has authored ... i believe he would hear 'well done good and faithful servant'. i am eagerly awaiting the next book. vh

Praises unto God to instill the gift unto Maurice M. Gray Jr. to be fully aware and understanding of the gifts; prophecy and discernment. I was truly inspired of how the author wasrelating and reflecting on the Holy Bible chapters and verses. This novel was so real to me because I'm equipped with the gift of discernment and there are so many people who don't believe these are gifts from the almighty. They don't understand the effectiveness of these (2) amazing gifts teaming up together. My Lord what POWER! Donna and Max were a great team studying and learning to listen to God for their insight and his guidance of what their gifts were given unto them for and the highlight of demonstrating openly and honestly of their usage for the glorification of God. It was so touching in the end of Merry salvation. This lets us know how every second, minute and hour is of great and vital importance to God! God loves us all and salvation is an invitation, not a mandate. This novel is a must read, I couldn't put it down.

This was the first book I read by Maurice and I loved it. It is a must buy. I enjoyed the comparison that Maurice did in this book. Love with God and Love without God. I was on pins and needles thoughout the whole book. I loved Max and Donna...it was true love. By the way, I never thought about the spritual gift quite like this and I thought it was wonderful the way they were expressed with Max and Donna.I can't wait until he puts out another book.

At first glance of Maurice Gray's title; "To Whom Much Is Given," I was immediately prepared to read a "preachy-type" story carrying the banner of a Mystery. Nothing could be further from the truth.From the onset I was hooked by the familiar and funny supermarket scene where Max awkwardly tries to gain the attention of his 'dream' girl. The play between the males and females as they play cat and mouse games was just a taste of what was to come. And, a taste was not enough....it awakened an appetite for more of these memorable characters.I applaud the author for his use of prophetic dreams, contemporary dialogue and characters that give you everything you want in a mystery without the excess baggage of profanity, etc. The use of Bible-based scriptures are integrated in the story without interrupting the reading flow and the author took time to make sure of the correlation between the scenes, dialogues and verses.In short, I love this first-time effort from Maurice Gray and look forward to reading more. I predict that this book will not only cross over to the secular market but be a silent best seller much the way, V.C. Murray's "Temptation" took the Christian Fiction market by surprise.Maurice M. Gray has Given Us Much.

This is a great book! For Christians who are looking for entertainment reading without the sex and explicit profanity, it is wonderful. It references scriptures that relate to the problems the main charactors are faced with and how God has chosen them for one another. I can't say enough about how good this book is. Although written by an African American, I can see where this book will transcend color barriers based on Christian values.
