Review: I would like to thank Gerald Weaver, the author, and Legit Lit Book Tours for the opportunity to receive and read such an amazing book. I really enjoyed reading this book and I am sure that I will read it again many times in the future. This is an excellent book that I am glad to have in my ever-growing book collection. I really liked the plot of this book and found that I could not stop reading and put the book down. In this book you get to know so much about the characters that you begin to feel like they are real people and that you know them on a personal level which is always a really good way to grip the attention of the reader. Connecting to the characters makes the reader want to read more and more to keep up with what is happening with the characters. 

I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys one, a few or all of the genre's listed above; But I would also recommend it to people who have not read books of these genre's or hasn't liked these genre's in the past. I am saying this as I am certain that this book will win you over and have you rethinking what you didn't like about these genre's previously. 

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

About the Author: 

Gerald Weaver received his bachelor's degree from Yale University and Juris Doctor degree from Catholic University. He has been a Capitol Hill chief of staff, a campaign manager, a lobbyist, a single father, a teacher of English and Latin, a collector and seller of Chinese antiquities and a contributor to the political magazine, George. He lives in the suburbs of Washington, DC, and travels regularly between the United Kingdom and the US. Gospel Prism is his first novel.

His experience of reading challenging literature in order to survive a dark place served as a provocation for this sensitive, atmospheric, dreamlike, compassionate, unpredictable and wise debut novel which brings into focus the relationship between literature, language, truth and religious faith.
