Reader Praise for I Pick You
★★★★★ Creston Mapes is a genius. I have read the entire series in four days. I was so excited to see that I only had to wait less than 24 hours before this book was released. I am absolutely going to buy more books that Mapes has written. This is a great thriller series with Christian values threaded perfectly throughout. It is not your typical cheesy Christian novel!
★★★★★ Another great read from Mr. Mapes! I so appreciate an author who can write an "on the edge of your seat" thriller while keeping it clean and honors our Lord Jesus Christ at the same time! I obviously highly recommend this book!
★★★★★ This is a fabulous book. I couldn't put it down. Creston Mapes is a very good story teller and I can't wait for the next book. Highly recommend ALL of his books!!
★★★★★ Be prepared. This is an intense read. Hard in many places, but very well written. Characters become real and you find yourself praying for them....lol.
★★★★★ Really enjoyed this, couldn't put it down, can't wait to read more by this author, didn't want the book to end.
★★★★★ THIS TRILOGY IS EXCELLENT. Suspenseful and well written. I highly recommend anything by Creston Mapes. He is able to make the action believable and related well to real life.
★★★★★ This is a very good Christian suspenseful book! I've loved everything by Creston Mapes so far but this is my favorite so far. Even though you know who the bad guy is you just can't fantom what he's going to do next. It's very unpredictable and you can't imagine who's going to live or die. I couldn't put it down and it has to be very suspenseful for a book to do that to me. Good job Creston Mapes and I can't wait to see what you'll come up with next!
