Newpointe 911 #3
Word of Honor
WHAT WILL IT COST TO KEEP A PROMISE?
Of the four people at the Newpointe post office when the bomb went off, three were killed instantly. The fourth, a five-year-old boy, lies comatose in the hospital and might not survive.
Who would do such a thing? The answer comes in the form of a gunman crashing through the door of the hotel room where Jill Clark is staying. With a rifle barrel pointed at her temple, the young attorney suddenly finds herself the hostage of a desperate man whose actions hardly fit his claim that he's innocent of the bombing.
Only later, when the suspect is behind bars, does Jill wonder whether he's as guilty as he appears. Prompted by a terrifying attempt on her life, Jill and old flame Dan Nichols dig deeper into the case. But standing in their way lies an obstacle Jill hasn't counted on: the power of a covenant. It could change her life. Or, with the clock ticking, it could seal her death.
Word of Honor is book three in the Newpointe 911 series by award-winning novelist Terri Blackstock. Newpointe 911 offers taut, superbly crafted novels of faith, fear, and close-knit small-town relationships, seasoned with romance and tempered by insights into the nature of relationships, redemption, and the human heart. Look also for Private Justice, Line of Duty, Shadow of Doubt, and Trial by Fire.

Terri Blackstock
90 books5,563 followersTerri Blackstock is a New York Times best-seller, with over seven million books sold worldwide.. She has had over thirty years of success as a novelist.
Terri spent the first twelve years of her life traveling in a U.S. Air Force family. She lived in nine states and attended the first four years of school in The Netherlands. Because she was a perpetual “new kid,” her imagination became her closest friend. That, she believes, was the biggest factor in her becoming a novelist. She sold her first novel at the age of twenty-five, and has had a successful career ever since.
In 1994 Terri was writing romance novels under two pseudonyms for publishers such as HarperCollins, Harlequin, Dell and Silhouette, when a spiritual awakening prompted her to switch gears. At the time, she was reading more suspense than romance, and felt drawn to write thrillers about ordinary people in grave danger. Her newly awakened faith wove its way into the tapestry of her suspense novels, offering hope instead of despair. Her goal is to entertain with page-turning plots, while challenging her readers to think and grow. She hopes to remind them that they’re valued by God and that their trials have a purpose.

The Newpointe 911 suspense series is a good blend of suspense, relationships, romance and leading others to Christ.

Loved this one so much. I read it in one day it was super fast paced😊😁😁

Great book. Better than the 2nd in the series...About the same as the first.
The only complaints I have is this obsession Terri has with making the men this "savior figure." I'm ready for a strong female character to mix things up a little.

Another great book in the Newpointe 911 series. This one was very exciting.

I really enjoyed this book at the beginning, but as the plot progressed I was more and more disappointed. There were too many things in the book that were not logical, improbable and down-right impossible. People were acting irrationally and making dumb decisions. The heroine broke her word, even though she was supposed to be a Christian. But mostly I was disappointed with teaching the O.T. practice of covenant as applying today. I do appreciate the author's desire to share the Gospel in her books and it was in this book as well. She attempted to tie the O.T. practice of covenant with salvation and marriage, but, in my opinion, it detracted from both. I really wanted to like this book, but ended up disappointed.

I have lost my excitement for this series. Taking a break before I continue with book 4. Jill was a doormat for Dan who was a tool.

It was bad, then it was worse. A bomb goes off and three people are killed. A five-year-old boy lies comatose because of the blast. Then the worst happens when a gunman crashes through the door of Jill Clark's hotel room. The young attorney finds herself the hostage of a desperate man who claims he's innocent of the bombing.
My heart pumps fast at the exciting opening of the book. The action continues, only stopping briefly to give the reader a breather. Then...
Jill Clark is a risk taker. Dan doesn't like that and feels it necessary to protect her. He was irritating. (Not sure I felt that way at the end of the book.)
What a story! What's the cost of keeping a promise? For some, it's a lot. For a few, it's everything. The characters in this story find the harsh truth.
Combat fatigue is real. A war will mess with a person's mind, even propelling them to do things they'd never ordinarily do. This is one of those stories that the reader feels sorry for the antagonist.

I enjoyed the third book more than I did the second. The information about what 'covenant' means was informative and very interesting and made me understand the Godly covenant a lot more.
The story around the suspense and the suspects was more believable than in book 2. The true culprit was a bit crazy and it was quite suspenseful reading his point of view and seeing his plans.
The relationship between Jill and Dan - I went between liking it, being frustrated by is, liking it again - much like their relationship. The ending was sweet, a bit fast for me, but I guess it came from book 2 already. I would have gotten frustrated with Dan's behavior - it felt a bit over the top - but then again, I think my husband will react just as crazy if my life was in danger.
It was also nice to catch up with Mark and Allie and Stan and Cecilia from book 1 and 2.
Enjoying this series and the characters. Looking forward to reading Nick's story next.

Once again the small town of Newpointe, Louisiana is involved in terror. This time the post office has been blown up and 3 people have been killed. The characters from Newpointe are the focus of the story with this time Dan and Jill being in the spotlight. Will the Newpointe police and fire be able to catch the culprit or are they looking at the wrong person?
The theme of covenant that flowed throughout the story was very interesting especially as it combines with the strong faith thread. The growing relationship between Jill and Dan and the role that covenant plays in their growing connection along with a wonderful suspense thread all worked together to create another wonderful Blackstock suspense novel.

Book 3 in Terri Blackstock’s Newpoint 911 series and again I was not disappointed. She has. Way of giving you a story that grabs you and then won’t let you go until the final page has been turned. Then her words at the end of the book challenge you to draw nearer to our Lord and Savior and understand His purpose for us. Awesome book. Awesome writer. My thanks to you as I prepare for book 4. How I love to read and be blessed at the same time. What could be better?

This was a nice read with a surprising twist of someone being in the wrong place at the wrong time, making it the right time for others. As a follower of Christ, I don't see books as too preachy, especially when they remind us of biblical principles. However, I will say that this was a very good book that should not run anyone away.

This is the third book in the series, and initially, I liked it better than the first two. It was an intriguing plot, but as the book progressed, I liked it less and less. The main character, professing to be a Christian, did not keep her word, and acted like, given the circumstances, it was reasonable not to. The secondary character had some rather weird theology, in my opinion, and in general, people seemed to do dumb things.

I happened to be reading this at the same time as I was reading some Old Testament stories for my Bible Reading Plan. I was not only entertained, but I also learned a few things!

Terri Blackstock writes the most interesting and addictive books ever AND she's a Christian, so her books have great messages without being preachy or annoying. I can't wait to get to each new book and new series. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
October 2, 2021
Terri Blackstock has been a banner name in Christian fiction for over twenty years. I’ve found some of her books riveting and some of her books lacking. Recently, I decided to go back to some of her older books that I’d never read and see how her stories and writing style had changed and progressed. I started with Newpointe 911, a five-book series published between 1998-2003, that focuses on a group of first responders, their families, and way more drama than you’d expect from a small town.
Blackstock continues the trend of pulling supporting characters from the previous book into the limelight and, in Word of Honor, Jill, Celia’s lawyer from Shadow of Doubt takes center stage as she’s taken hostage in the wake of a post office explosion. Somebody bombed the post office and the guy holding her hostage insists it’s not him. (Which isn’t exactly a compelling argument.) When the man’s wife finally gets him to let Jill go, he’s taken into custody but Jill’s left wondering…did he actually do it or was he set up?
Word of Honor, as one might guess from the title, is about the importance of promises. Teaming up with her old flame, Dan Nichols, Jill tries to track down the real bomber and find out why her hostage-taker was in the middle of it all. The story takes some wild twists from here. Unlike previous novels in the series, where the story followed a simple whodunnit, Blackstock introduces us to the killer and puts us inside his mind. A Vietnam vet with brain damage, the killer is convinced that every federal facility has something to hide and he won’t stop until he’s taken it all down.
The central theme throughout is the element of covenant. The hostage-taker had been set up. He was an unwitting getaway driver. But he refuses to turn on his friend because he saved him in Nam and the two have a covenant to take care of the other. Blackstock gets derailed and detailed on the nature of Old Testament covenant—I would guess her learning about covenant may have been the impetus for this plot—and it really drags the story down. Her sympathetic killer is nearly all-powerful, able to whatever he wants whenever he wants. The police are laughably inept. It’s a bizarre, unrealistic scenario that Blackstock never fully sells.
After a reasonably solid introduction with Private Justice, the last two books in the series go off the rails in melodramatic fashion. As Blackstock ups the ante, she’s not able to cover her plot holes or makes readers believe her scenarios. And believability is key. Every action/thriller/suspense novel or movie is unbelievable. It’s fiction. Nobody gets shot like that and shrugs it off. You can’t drive cars through buildings. It’s not a matter of whether or it’s realistic, it’s about believability. Can the author convince us? Blackstock isn’t able to do that, so even though she has a compelling and sympathetic antagonist, the story falls flat.

This is the 3rd book by Blackstock I have read, and I admit they are fast paced reads that i devour, but I do have a few issues with the author. I disliked the book before this, it highlighted an incompetent emergency department and the women characters seem weak and always crying. I have been looking forward to Jill Clarks story, since she has seemed stronger than the other women in the series and she intrigued me. Jill is one of the few lawyers in the small town of Newport, and since everyone knows everyone she is once again in the thick of things when a bomb goes off at the post office, killing several people and wounding a child. The city is buzzing about this event, and Jill stops at a hotel after consulting on an unrelated case to get in some work and sleep. Suddenly bullets and police cars invade her peace while she is on the phone with Dan, a firefighter who is known as a serial dater but never goes beyond 3 dates, and she becomes a hostage. Dan becomes annoying to me as he hitches a ride to the crime scene, tries to intervene in the hostage situation and show Jill he actually cares about her despite breaking off their relationship months ago. He broke it off with Jill in the last book, and i wasn't happy with the breakup because Jill seemed pining for him and I didn't get a feeling from Dan that he was really involved. Unfortunately that feeling continued in this book. Dan suddenly realizes he wants to make sure Jill is ok, and rushes to the scene to protect her. Jill stands on her own mostly, but falls for his words. I didn't buy it - I was disappointed that Jill seemed ready to be a doormat to get Dan back and accept his childish behaviors. We get more incompetency from the police department investigating the bombing and incidents afterwards - seriously, you need to just go with it because if you think about it the novel falls apart. Another observation - her friends are pushing her to Dan despite all he's done because he really is a good guy - if my friends kept doing this, I like to think I would see they were wrong about this guy heh. So the good thing is the novel moves fast with lots of action even if you are frustrated by the characters. Blackstock added an interesting element to this book by entwining a covenant related layer into the story. In the end, fast paced story, better than #2, about the same as #1, but I didn't see Jill and Dan staying together if this had been a real relationship. The next book is about preacher Nick - not sure i will go on with this series.

Yay, a book on Jill Clark--one of the characters I have really enjoyed throughout this series. I really enjoyed getting to see a book from her POV.
What I Liked: Jill’s character was very well done throughout this whole book. Her emotions that played out across the pages felt all so very real as she battled within herself what to do about her promise to represent as a lawyer the man who had held her hostage.
Terri Blackstock never fails to write a book that has a deep theological message to it and that is something that I really appreciate. So many authors don’t want to shove the gospel down their reader’s throats and while I would agree, I think because of that, authors are often afraid to include deep theological issues within their books. But Mrs. Blackstock does not shy away from that and it is quite refreshing, I must say.
This book was, as usual, very suspenseful. It was an interesting plot, as the reader knows who the killer is from the very beginning, but you get to follow Jill and Dan around as they try to find out who the post office bomber is.
What I Didn’t Like: There really wasn’t anything that I disliked, but Dan Nichols has gotten on my nerves the past couple books. It kind of got on my nerves how quickly Jill took him back. It was just like Dan had realized how much Jill meant to him and that he couldn’t live without her and he knew he had hurt her, but how was he truly seeking to change? How could he keep certain actions he had taken from the past from happening again? I just felt like those elements were missing a bit. Don’t get me wrong, Jill should’ve forgiven him, but trust has to be earned back. Anyway, I realize that what bothered him might not bother someone else, so I’ll get off my soap box. LOL
I give this book 5/5 stars. I can’t wait to read the next book!

This is book 3 in Blackstock's Newpointe 911 series, and a lovely addition at that. I thoroughly enjoyed the concept of covenant woven throughout the book. I'm falling more and more in love with this little town and it's residents the more I read about them. I wish I'd picked these books up ages ago. The suspense and intrigue drew me in from page one, as is Blackstock's specialty. And the characters are...like normal people! She creates a realistic voice which portrays our human struggles. These people struggle with their faith; they aren't perfect and they don't always get it right. These are the kinds of encouraging and thoughtfully crafted stories we need in our market. These books point toward Christ and they make me want to better myself. These characters, their struggles, and the lessons they learn help me through my personal walk with Christ and I cannot think of a more rewarding read than that. I will hungrily devour the next book as soon as I get my paws on it!! Thank you, Mrs. Blackstock for shining your light so brightly.

Book begins with a bombing at the local post office, and the Jill is taken hostage. I was fully invested in the investigation. Can they catch the person or people responsible before anyone else gets hurt? I understood Jill's reactions to Jerry and wanted to know his backstory. I had been rooting for the relationship between Jill and Dan until I became frustrated with the way Dan reacted after a disagreement with Jill. I was glad when he took action to correct his error. The part about covenants was really interesting. I liked how Jill and Dan took the time to research God's Word for answers to the questions they were facing and the way they openly discussed it between them. There were a couple of things that happened that had me question if it was really possible for the bad guy/s to do that. It was great to see characters from previous books again. While the ending does provide a conclusion to this story, it also provides a hint to who the main characters of the next book are going to be.

A man brings a package and leaves it outside the post office, a few seconds later a bomb goes off. Killing three people, with.the young son in a coma.
Who would do this in a small town, has them puzzled. Jill working a case out of town hears it on the radio. Calling Dan and he tells her briefly about it, when she is screaming and he is hearing it. The police had the suspect cornered at the hotel, and suspect had taken Jill as hostage.With the wife coming he finally surrendered, and telling everybody that Jill was going to represent him. That promise was done under duress and surely he wouldn’t expect her to. The person who is guilty is now determined that Jill knows his name and she must be killed. Tense plot, that is taking a toll on Jill, lack of sleep, nightmares. The romance with Dan maybe on again. Will keep readers to the end, of how it will come out,

This book was good for the most part. Some things seem like a stretch - such as two men in the military having a covenant like the boon portrays and the exaggerated actions of the one.
It was quite disappointing some of the petty ways Dan and Jill acted as well as things they said. Some of it seemed like Blackstock was stretching to create conflict or add to dialogue rather than having more organic conflict or conversation.
I was also really bothered by the casual way that they handled characters knowingly being pursued by murderers. Wouldn’t she be put in a safe house or possibly witness protection? It doesn’t make sense that the police weren’t more active in her protection

I enjoyed this book very much.
I was fascinated by the theme of making a 'covenant' and what that means. It was very thought provoking to then think about how much more impartant a Godly covenant is.
There is a key relationship between Jill and Dan. There are things about it that really frustrated me and seemed quite unrealistic, but they were very sweet and in the end I felt like their behavior was understandable as we can't really read people's minds.
I didn't know this book was a series so it didn't mar it any for me to read it our of order.
I really enjoyed how this book made me think.
I would recommend it!

3.5 rounded up
I love Terri Blackstock I have read 24 of her novels! She is a great story teller and has twists that I don’t see coming. I almost didn’t down load this novel as Juanita Parker is not my of my favorite audio performers. She seems to be yelling the entire time! However, I hung in there!
I certainly look forward to the next Blackstock novel!!!.

I'm enjoying this series, but this one was pretty meh for me. Too much 'Christian talk' about covenants that just wasn't believable. My deal with Blackstock is that she is the rare Christian author who doesn't write in such Christianese as to be unbelievable. But this one...this one went over the line for me. Still a good story, and still characters I care about, for sure. But too much of this just wasn't believable at all.

Terri Blackstock is a genius author who writes a nail biter fiction and laces it wonderfully with the truth of God’s Word.
I was enthralled during the reading of this book. The characters are real people with real struggles and a real need for Christ….like we all are. She makes me ever so grateful for our police force, our firefighters and EMT’s, but mainly, she makes me grateful that I’m a Christian in a convent relationship with Christ.
Great read.

Well I wasn’t expecting THAT happily ever after ending with Dan and Jill ❤️
First let’s discuss that the NewPointe police are awful. Why do they have a rec area with a wall that can be scaled to begin with?! He’s not superhuman. And then we’re just going to read the paper and not watch them?!
If it wasn’t for Stan they’d all be worthless.
Other than that … amazing story. Love the covenant lesson.

3.5 Stars. The whole covenant thing was kind of warped even as it was endearing, in a weird way. I could elaborate on my take on the Abrahamic Covenant but it comes down the guy was definitely warped. Don't negotiate with terrorists. The whole volatile relationship of the main characters was kind of off for me too. That said, it was an exciting book & clean & they all meant well.

Another great book by Terri Blackstock! This book was very suspenseful, but also very relational. It emphasized the importance of keeping promises, but dealt with this topic in a highly unusual way. I'm loving this series. Even though it was written about 20 years ago, it feels very up to date. Great plot with real people and something significant to say.

Terri Blackstock is my latest addiction. She has a way of weaving Christian suspense that doesn’t allow for a book to be put down. I have enjoyed reading the Newpointe 911 series. This book had more of the Christian aspects than her other books. This series weaves faith, romance, suspense and a tight knit community into a best selling read. I highly recommend this book.
