Christianity Today Loves Identity Man

January 11, 2011 Books

An extremely nice review for The Identity Man from the excellent magazine Christianity Today. Don’t start this novel unless you have plenty of time to keep reading.

November 30, 2010 Books

Delighted to report another excellent review of The Identity Man, this one in the Washington Times.  Even more delighted that the review’s author, James E. Person Jr., has approached the book with a good deal of intelligence and comprehension – not always true of reviews both good and bad.  He says in part: “In “The [...]
