I read it in 2 days. 400 pages. IT was so good. I tend to avoid Christian authors. They tend to often lack talent, or think they dont have to be entertaining. Maybe they figure scripture and God can fill in the rest. NO hate mail please. I loved this book. I couldnt put it down. It was not sappy or full of scripture, but smart, intelligent about real people and real faith.

Five terminally ill people with legal backgrounds are on a reality TV show all from different faiths. They are to defend their faith and convert others via this courtroom show. There is a secret plot to end the show with one of the contestants dying. Oliver and the others find out. Oliver sends secret codes back home to get help and save everyone. There are so many twists and turns I was left guessing until the end, because there are 3 more characters only Identified as "THE ASSASSIN, THE CLIENT AND THE PATIENT I thought the assassin was many other people until the last 20 pages. I was kept quessing until the end. You will love it.
