This week I wrap up the final preparations for
releasing my Christian Fictional novel, Cries
of Innocence. Over the next few blogs, I want to expose the things that
drove me to write the book. I won’t give away so much you’ll refuse to read it,
but enough to entice you to pick it up.
This is the first review from Reader’s Favorite. It
got a five out of five rating. Yes, I cried and thanked God, not only for His
support, leading me to the perfect scripture, but also keeping my strength up
for the seven months it took to write the book.
Angela Beach Silverthorne writes an exceptional
Christian novel in Cries of Innocence. Bren is seventeen, a senior in high
school, and she just made cheerleader! Life should be good. However, Bren faces
tremendous life challenges. Her father is abusive and the town drunk. Most
believe that her grandmother, GG, is stranger than strange – possibly a witch.
To top it off, her boyfriend is a jerk! She can’t wait to escape her life,
small town, reputation, and go away to college. In an instant, everything goes crazy.
Bren finds herself running for her life, into a life she never knew existed.
Hiding out at “The Haven,” she is exposed to the Truth. “The whole idea of God
is a fantasy,” right? Bren has a lot to learn. Before she can stop and even
ponder it all, Bren gets a crash course in her family’s mysterious history. All
that she thought she knew soon proves to be wrong. Evil has raised its ugly
head. The battle rages. Hearing the cries of the innocent, Bren discovers she
is a part of something much bigger than herself. She must become a beacon of
light in a very dark world.
Cries of Innocence takes you on a mysterious journey
into the world of the warring believer. Angela Beach Silverthorne pens a story
that reveals the power of prayer against the despotism of evil. Her writing
style is profound, the word usage is rich and meaningful. At times, the imagery
is deeply poetic. The characters are not self-righteous, flowery or pious. They
are depicted as real people, trying to live and understand their God-given gifts.
Likewise, the villainous characters are legitimately diabolical. With patience
and intrigue, Silverthorne nudges the reader, enticing you into the plot. As
the plot’s action ascends to its climax, the pace increases. Then at the
precise pivotal point, Silverthorne plunges the reader into an adrenaline
surging battle and slaps you in the face with a few shocking surprises. Cries
of Innocence undeniably reveals the realities of spiritual warfare. However, it
leaves the reader feeling victorious, knowing the truth - light always dispels
darkness.
God bless you all!
