Prison and Preacher – not my cup of tea.
Was losing sleep because I couldn’t put it down. Great reads!!
fantastic read; little over the top but excellent writer
just did not hold my attention
Having had relatives who were Correction Officers, I found this both interesting and realistic. The first three books are highly engaging with complex characters. Chaplain Jordan is a flawed but deeply human and humane man who is able to contemplate the great questions in life without being preachy. The last two stories were really not novels, …
It was inspirational and interesting stories; however, I did not care for the language. First time I read anything by this author.
couldn’t get into the books
Good read.
Great books. All of Michael Lister books are great
Good murder mysteries with a character who realisticly struggles with his faith. IF they were edited where the scenes sometimes didn’t flow together I would have rated it 5 stars. Great characters.
The first two books were okay. Not great, but decent. By the third I was bored. Not sure if I’ll finish the rest.
I really like these books. Easy to read as well as greatly entertaining. Nothing but good things when you can get a little Jesus with your mystery.
I thought that the main character was very realistic, in that he had doubts about his life. I found the stories very interesting & the mysteries of who committed the crimes unpredictable.
Great read. Will read more of him.
I enjoyed the series immensely. I was interested and had feelings for the characters.
I enjoyed the books, he espouses Christianity as it should be. Many of the characters are well written some not.
I will.read more even if my belief system is different.
If you don’t enjoy books with a lot of spiritually/religious content then this isn’t the series for you. I enjoyed the full length books, however I didn’t care much for some of the plot lines of the short stories. John’s character is somewhat flawed, which makes him more human & relatable.
Excellent
Kept me reading
I was thrilled to get this set. I have read a few of John Jordan and loved them. Rereading some and there are some I have not read in the set. Love the characters and the stories are wonderful!
