- Cutting Edge by Jeffrey S. Savage (2001)
[5/10]
"Savage had high aspirations for his first novel, but through inexperience missed some of the opportunities that would have made Cutting Edge a sitting-on-the-edge-of-your-seat page turner."
- Daniel and Nephi by Chris Heimerdinger (1993)
[6/10]
"In Daniel and Nephi, Chris Heimerdinger presents another story with a scriptural setting. This time, he chooses the main characters Daniel, the prophet from the bible, and Nephi, the author of the first two books of the Book of Mormon."
- I'll Find You by Clair M. Poulson (2001)
[3/10]
"In the hands of a skilled storyteller, this plot could have forced you to the edge of your seat wondering if Rusty will find Jeri in time to save her from the evil murderer Chum. In the hands of Clair Poulson, you have to make a determined commitment that you will push forward through all the unnecessary verbiage, hoping that you won't fall asleep again."
- Last Battle, The by C. S. Lewis (1956)
[5/10]
"In The Last Battle, Lewis pulls almost all the stops and only narrowly couches his Christian allegory in his story. The denouement occurs with about one third of the text remaining. In this remainder, Lewis explores the Narnian afterlife."
- Left Behind by Tim F. LaHaye, Jerry B. Jenkins (1996)
[6/10]
"Lahaye and Jenkins do a good job turning a conversion story into a suspense novel. The novel does bog down in the middle as all the characters waiver in their faith and determination, but the last third rolls along at a fast pace. Although the authors freely admit they hope to get the reader to make a commitment to Jesus, the text of Left Behind doesn't come off very preachy."
- Lori, I Love You, But . . . by Gary Davis (1993)
[2/10]
"One could tell this story in any number of modes. Davis chose comedy. In fact, all of his characters seem to be sharpening their wit for a comedy club audition."
- Praise to the Man by Larry Barkdull (1997)
[3/10]
"Praise to the Man contains the elements of a powerful story, but distractions and poor expository methods kept me so far from feeling anything for the characters that I never had a chance to get emotionally involved."
- Red Water by Judith Freeman (2002)
[6/10]
"Red Water presents an interesting, well written slice of early rural Utah life that did nothing special for me."
- Romancing the Nephites by Becky Paget (1993)
[5/10]
"There's nothing outstanding about this story, but there were no glaring flaws either. A simple story that is well constructed and has appeal to a less demanding audience."
- Samuel, Moroni's Young Warrior by Clair M. Poulson (1993)
[3/10]
"The action is fast paced, and Poulson does build suspense well, but I was disappointed by the resolution of almost all the conflicts that I can't really recommend this book to your children, let alone adults."
- Screwtape Letters, The by C. S. Lewis (1942)
[6/10]
"Lewis uses transcripts of demonic conversations as a satire to examine humane nature."
- Tennis Shoes among the Nephites by Chris Heimerdinger (1989)
[6/10]
"Tennis Shoes among the Nephites tells the tale of two 13-year-old Mormon boys and an 11-year-old Mormon girl who go back in time to have adventures with Book of Mormon characters."
- Wine-dark Sea of Grass, The by Marilyn Brown (2001)
[5/10]
"Marilyn Brown examines how the Mountain Meadows Massacre affected the lives of the Mormon settlers in rural southern Utah."
Average score: 4.69
