John Howard Reid is one of this country's greatest natural storytellers... Some critics have likened his works to those of Agatha Christie. I find the comparison a little unfair -- to Mr. Reid. If... More > Reid's work needs comparing, I would liken it to Graham Greene's... Merryll Manning On the Rim of Heaven is one book you will find impossible to put down. – American critic, Richard Deutch, in The Sunday Telegraph. Compulsive reading... An engrossing thriller. -- John Hyde in The West Australian. Solidly real... Fast-moving dramatic action. -- Professor Stephen Knight in The Sydney Morning Herald. A well-constructed novel with a thrilling conclusion. -- Judith Green in Between the Covers. Particularly engrossing and easy to read... The author must be congratulated! -- Neil E. Lomas, editor, Warwick Daily News. Highly original... A worthy successor to Reid's earlier novels. The author shows the same lively imagination, yet gives his plot credibility. -- Leonard Ward in The Canberra Times.< Less

Bible scholar, John Howard Reid, has breathed new life into the gospel of Luke in this totally new and often extremely startling translation, based on the best available, early Greek texts. Reid has... More > expertly employed the latest discoveries regarding the real meanings behind many of Luke's words. Unlike most other translators, Reid has NOT approached the Gospel with any particular religious beliefs in mind. Indeed, he has taken great care not to twist Luke's words to make them conform to notions entertained by any particular church body or religion. Best of all, he has made Luke's words plain as day and remarkably easy to comprehend. Here is a translation inspired by the very same Holy Spirit who lent Her guidance to Doctor Luke, Paul's beloved assistant and Disciple. {The word, "spirit", is feminine in Greek, although this does not necesarily indicate Her gender).< Less
