A Cross to Kill Blog Tour with a Giveaway

John Cross is a small-town pastor, bent on leading his flock to follow God's calling. He's not the sort of man one would expect to have a checkered past.

But the truth is that the man behind the pulpit preaching to his sheep was once a wolf--an assassin for the CIA. When John decided to follow Christ, he put that work behind him, determined to pay penance for all the lives he took. He vowed never to kill again.

Now someone wants the peaceful pastor to pay for his sins with his own life. And when a terrorist out for revenge walks into the church, John's secrets are laid bare. Confronted with his past, he must face his demons and discover
whether a man can truly change. Can he keep his vow--even when the people he loves are in mortal danger? Will his congregation and the brave woman he's learning to care for be caught in the cross fire? In the end, his death may be the only sacrifice he has left to offer . . .

Andrew Huff's thrilling debut is not only a riveting story of suspense, it's also a deep exploration of the moral quandaries that face those who choose to follow the Prince of Peace in a violent world.

My Thoughts:
This book began action packed! I definitely wanted to keep reading as the scenes unveiled. It had such detailed descriptions that I felt like a movie was playing before my eyes, as I envisioned what was happening. Some parts seemed a little bit unbelievable, mostly the things one man (John Cross) was actually able to do! But I do know that there are men who are specially trained, so it could be possible that a man alone could perform all those death defying stunts! The journalist, Christine, definitely was impressed with her rescuerer! 

This thrilling was interesting and fairly original for me. John's new found faith changed his outlook on life. As a former CIA agent, he is regretful of the choices he has made in his past and wants to pursue a new path. He chooses to leave his old life behind and become a pastor. As the woman he rescued seeks him out, to thank him, his past comes back to haunt him, complicating his new stand and putting his parishioners in danger. He must now make some difficult choices, possibly even sacrificing his own life.  The book is fast paced and interesting. It has a faith aspect that is easy to read and well incorporated. If you like drama, adventure and fast paced thrillers, you'll want to try this book. 

I received a free copy of the book courtesy of the publisher and participation in a blog tour. I was not asked to review the book positively.
