Good story; I particularly liked the character of Jeremiah.

Quick and enjoyable read. Describes being a Christian in cowboy terms and that was an eye opener. Sometimes hearing something you know in a different genre gives it new meaning.

I remember loving this series, particularly this first book. There is only two books in series; to the best of my knowledge anyway. It's probably time for a re-read so I can give it a better review. Most definitely the rating will go up when I do. Although I guess technically it is a series since there are two books in it, I tend to consider a "series" at least three books or more.

A feel good read…

[Bonnie Dieffenbacher · Rating 3 out of 5]

A good Christian novel about a young female evangelist and a poker playing cowboy.

Very Christian, Very Good

I limit my reading of nonfiction to clean, wholesome, preferably Christian books. This one is perhaps the most overtly and yet discretely written Christian book that I have read in recent years. The compelling message of God's love and forgiveness is masterfully interwoven with an attractive and intriguing story. I look forward to reading more of Michael Phillips' books.

Only rating a 4 because I cannot remember much of story or it's sequel at the moment. However, I do remember being really liking the books and being very disappointed that there wasn't more than 2 stories in the Mercy and Eagleflight series.

I love this book.

I learned more about my relationship with Jesus through Mercy and Jeremiah’s searches for God. The story draws the reader into an intimate walk with the couple as they learn to trust and serve God.
