From California beachfronts to Nigerian rain forests to Jerusalem and back again, The Watchers is a high-octane blend of action, mystery, and spiritual battle spanning centuries.

A man who is hired to exterminate her discovers the folly of blind loyalty, then learns how to wage war in a realm he never believed had existed . . .

An extraordinary saga of the unseen war against evil, the reality of the supernatural, and the transforming power of forgiveness.

    An extraordinary read

    This book gripped me from the terrifying beginning to the tear-jerker ending. This is what great Christian writing is all about. The thought of a spiritual family tree and what that means in our own faith is simply fascinating. Fast-paced and thought-provoking - simply a masterpiece!!

    A terrific exhilarating romantic fantasy

    Twentyish Abby Sherman is undecided what she will do with her life, but the deeply religious young woman is not concerned as she believes the Lord will show her the way. However, Abby is shocked to find out she has been contaminated with an inexplicable, deadly disease and given a short time to live. She posts her story including some strange dreams onto her blog. Thousands of women claim the same experience turning Abbey¿s blog into a popular site and her into an online star. Abby feels she owes it to everyone to learn the truth before she dies and make it clear on her blog that she intends to pursue this quest.----------------- Black Ops sniper Dylan Hatfield is assigned to kill Abby. He internally objects because he feels she has done nothing wrong to deserve death. He decides before completing this distasteful project, he will at least learn why this Abby is considered a danger needing elimination though he also fears the truth will make him aware that perhaps he is playing for the wrong team.--------------- At times graphic, WATCHERS is a terrific exhilarating romantic fantasy with the emphasis on the action on the mortal and supernatural planes. The story line is fast-paced yet quite vivid and needs a warning label: once started one can not stop reading this book. Abby is a strong female lead who wants to do good deeds before dying although she confesses to herself that she would like to know why for closure purposes too. Dylan in some ways is the more fascinating character as he ahs always been the loyal soldier willing to die for his mission, but has doubts about the honor of this assassination. Readers will appreciate this strong thriller that circles this world and that beyond.----------- Harriet Klausner

    Love the Approach

    In an adventure so complex, moving and most of all, captivating, the author takes you onto the spiritual battlefield. I have never given a 5 star rating out before, waiting instead for that extraordinary novel to appear. This is that novel. On this incredible journey you will find hope in times of need, the necessity of unity in Christ and the 'breaches' caused by ignorance and hatred. Yet most of all it is about healing those wounds and unifying His Body.
