About the author

Brothers Joel and Luke Smallbone headline the Grammy Award-winning band For KING & COUNTRY. After their family relocated to Nashville from Sydney, Australia, in 1991, their father worked as a music promoter, so the boys often accompanied him to shows. In their teenage years they sang background vocals for their sister, gospel artist Rebecca St. James. In 2011 they released For KING & COUNTRY: The EP , and in 2012, they released their first full-length album, Crave, and won New Artist of the Year at the 2013 GMA Dove Awards. Their sophomore album, Run Wild, Live Free, Love Strong, met and even exceeded expectations with notable sales, sold-out shows, GRAMMY Awards, multiple K-LOVE fan awards, and appearances on major television shows such as Fox & Friends, Jimmy Kimmel Live, Huckabee, and others.

When my sisters told me about the movie, I had my reservations. I'd never really listened to For King and Country, and hearing my sister belt out "Priceless" at the top of her lungs constantly had me not at all inclined to begin. But, without telling them anything about it, I secretly rented the movie and watched it, and. . . it had an effect on my emotions that I hadn't expected. For the first time, I started listening to For King and Country, and found out that, as is often true, the original sounds much better than a poorly done cover. I'm now slightly obsessed with them.
When I found this book, I knew that I had to read it, and I'm so glad that I did. It really rounds out the characters from the movie, and especially gives depth to the character of James Stevens. I greatly enjoyed it.

The story was amazing. The premise really good. I felt like the set up in the middle of the book fell flat a couple of times, but it really got the point across. The details were a bit graphic with some action included, and good for guys to see the danger of this.
But, it could have been a tad bit clearer in the writing style, to make you like the main character a bit more.

Good & moving with a few moments of watery eyes. The ending was a little much for me in the realism department (am I becoming my father?!)

5/5.
One of the first books I read as a young teenager. One of the most important books I’ve read to this day.

I have had this book on my shelf for years and only just finally got around to finishing it.
I enjoyed it as much as one can enjoy a horrible reflection of the darkest side of reality.
