We were challenged in our faith as Christians

Excellent, and very well written book, and a must for your library! To be honest, we had no idea who Polycarp was until we read the book. Through the authors writings, as promised, we were challenged in our faith as Christians. Its a great book no matter of the degree of your knowledge of the scriptures We highly recommend this book, and applaud the author. (K.B. from California)

Captures the imagination and teaches

This book both captures the imagination and teaches. Nearly every page has something that points you to the Word, makes you think, and reminds you of spiritual reality in Christ.

First-century believers and martyrs often seem so distant from us today. I thought the author did a good job reminding us of how real and human these believers were, how they faced the same inner battles we do, and how they were strengthened by the same Word and same Christ that we have. (T.C. from Ohio)

Wonderful novel that brings history to life

"Polycarp a destroyer of our gods is a wonderful novel that brings history to life and brings glory to the One True God." (A Kindle reader)

Gets better as you read it

"From start to finish, this book slowly builds momentum and gets better as you read it. What I liked so much about the book was how it is ingrained with scripture. Every chapter is filled with examples from the bible as they are interwoven with the characters in the book. A theme I saw throughout the book is that whenever trials arise whether they seem big or small the greatest option is running to the word of God and seeking His aid. I enjoyed it very much!!" (D.S. from Ohio)

Perhaps a bit prophetic of our times

"It is a very spiritually challenging book. So many blessings and benefits we enjoy now (especially the complete written Word of God and our freedom to worship) compared to Polycarp's day make me think our modern church world is very "wimpy." But, oh, how blessed it would have been to have known, worked with "those whose ears have heard, whose eyes have seen and whose hands have handled the Word of Life!!" (1 John 1:1) I admired the way that you depicted Polycarp's growth in grace and faith. From a pagan past to a stalwart example of the saving grace of God. Excellent well written book and who knows, perhaps a bit prophetic of our times." (J.B. from Ohio)

I would recommend it to anyone

"Great book I would recommend it to anyone. I love it!" (M.M. of Pennsylvania)

Real excitement and lots of encouragement

"Polycarp, a destroyer of our gods is an innovative novel in that it aims to use historical characters, that we have few facts about, to promote Christian discipleship. The discipleship exampled focuses on experiencing God's grace as a guiding force. Polycarp narrates his life in retrospect to relate how the Lord, by grace, used mentors to help grow him in faith, virtue, and obedience that climaxed in his faithful heroic stand.

Polycarp, a destroyer of our gods advances a particular discipleship approach that encourages the mentor to help the one being discipled to experientially discover the beautiful ornament that grace is to the faithful even in the face of death. This book has some real excitement and lots of encouragement to see, and help others to see, God's grace drawing us to Himself." (J. G. of Ohio)
