Acts of the Shaddai: The Final Testament, by Anthony Jones, is the third and final installment in the Bloodlines Chronicles, which began with The Sword of Goliath and continued in The Wizard of Nod.

“Love is life. All, everything that I understand, I understand only because I love. Everything is, everything exists, only because I love. Everything is united by it alone. Love is God, and to die means that I, a particle of love, shall return to the general and eternal source.”
Leo Tolstoy

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

Sandra Hi Anthony,
Thanks for the friend-invite! :)


Anthony Jones To my few but faithful readers. Thank you for your continued feedback. In response to your questions of character inspiration I have included some photos with explanation on my website in the slide show section . If you have not read my books, please visit my website and Amazon to see reviews. https://www.bloodlinechronicles.net/


Anthony Jones Over the past months some of my readers sent me e-mails expressing their favorite and not so favorite parts of my books. I was delighted with the feedback. I caught myself asking if they would be kind enough to simply post their opinion in the form of a review on goodreads and amazon. As I sent my response to one of my favorite people this morning, I realized I have read many books and I have not taken even a moment to post my reviews. So, I am up-dating my read list and will be doing what I have asked others to do. Authors know, we live and die by reviews and feedback. My apologies to the authors on my read list. I will be posting on a regular basis from now on ~

Anthony Jones Good morning and best wishes for a Happy Thanksgiving tomorrow.

I am new to goodreads and happy to be a part of such a welcoming literacy community. I was pleased to friend several well-read individuals who I look forward to sharing opinions and great stories.

I recently published my first novel “The Sword of Goliath,” the first installment in the Bloodline Chronicles and available now on Amazon. The onlinebookclub.org official review can be found at the link below.

I just completed the second installment of the Bloodline Chronicles, “The Wizard of Nod.” I expect to have it to my editor next week. I will be announcing the release date soon and will be giving away advanced copies on this site.

 Have a Happy Thanksgiving ~ Anthony Jones
