Hello all!
Here is the review for this book I posted on Amazon.com
*****************************************
Beautifully illustrated, this 22 page first issue sets up the young protagonist Elijah for a spiritual battle in the realm of the supernatural. As you can tell from the title, one of the main subjects in this book is the issue of lying. Everyone dear to Elijah is lying to him. And he knows it. As he reaches a breaking point of righteous indignation, a demon attacks him. There the first issue ends.
I gave this book 4 stars. I believe it is a God honoring work, and suitable for teens (some mature subject matter is discussed but not illustrated). However, it is a little early to tell what this series will become. Elijah is a believer, but reacts with outrage at the lies being told to him, and withdraws, rather than confronting the sin issues being lied about, for example. If he's not careful, his sense of outrage could become pride and judgment. On the other hand, he may just need time to extend his hands to his family and loved ones to help them free themselves of the sins they are lying about. There are so many ways this book can progress, and it is only on that basis I reserve 1 star until I see more.
I have high hopes for this series, and hope very much that the very talented creator will continue his works for God's glory. I have promised myself to buy book 2 when it comes out. May it be soon:)
