Accolades from Amazon
Sow the Wind, Reap the Whirlwind
“An emotional roller coaster. Parts had me openly crying as I went through page after page. I love the characters.”
~ KJ
“What a great read! I wondered if the author went to the same churches I have attended!”
~ MC
“Brilliant, talented, witty, life-giving.”
~JW
“The author manages to touch on many of the challenges that faced the church in the 70's and continue to confront faithful people in the new century. The issues are rather skillfully woven into the storyline with optimism and faith, and without becoming excessively preachy.”
~ JAT
“Although set against the backdrop of the social changes of the 1970s, this novel and the issues it portrays are as contemporary as the evening news. While painting robust and multi-dimensional characters and guiding us through a captivating plot, the author keeps us thinking about the ‘big questions’ of religion without being bogged down. It’s a fascinating, topical and character-driven reading experience.
~ DT
“I don't consider myself a religious person, so I wasn't sure what to expect from a book with the church as an integral part of the storyline. Was I was pleasantly surprised!”
~ LKH
The Mind Set on the Flesh
"A clear, flowing story. Prickett's real life experience with these characters is evident in his descriptions. They are believable and have personalities that allows you empathize and care for them.”
~ PK
“The story is approachable, and the characters are uncomfortably recognizable. I enjoyed the way the author dips deeply, exploring their strengths, weaknesses and motivations. I enthusiastically recommend this book to friends and family.”
~ KS
“Riveting and challenging. As an avid reader I found this was one book I could not put down.”
~ SL
A Time to Every Purpose
“I was quickly drawn into the plot. It’s touches on [many] topics: AIDS, disillusionment, suicide, abandonment and hatred cloaked as religion, all topped by a sassy drag queen angel…woven into a message of hope and gratitude. I still cannot figure out how the author did it. I guess that’s one reason it’s so good.”
~ KS
“The book starts out like a cross between ‘It's A Wonderful Life’ and ‘A Christmas Carol,’ with a heaping helping of ‘Touched By An Angel.’ But what Bill does is take this framework, and make something new and wonderful from it. It's engaging, historically accurate, compelling, immersive, and above all, FUN. You'll enjoy the journey!”
~ JH
“It is a beautifully written and hopeful story we can all learn from. The author does a fabulous job of showing how the past makes our present and future what it is today, and without those things we would be different people. We influence each other either positively or negatively depending on our attitude toward those we come into contact with every day.”
~ DM
“Bill Prickett weaves a story filled with compassion, hope and humor. This was a fantastic book and really touched me.”
~ TJ
