Word of Honor
  
What will it cost to keep a promise? Of the four people at the Newpointe post office when the bomb went off, three were killed instantly. The fourth, a five-year-old boy, lies comatose in the hospital and might not survive. Who would do such a thing? The answer comes in the form of a gunman crashing through the door of the hotel room where Jill Clark is staying. With a rifle barrel pointed at her temple, the young attorney suddenly finds herself the hostage of a desperate man whose actions hardly fit his claim that he's innocent of the bombing. Only later, when the suspect is behind cars, does Jill wonder whether he's as guilty as he appears. Prompted by a terrifying attempt on her life, Jill and old flame Dan Nichols dig deeper into the case. But standing in their way lies an obstacle Jill hasn't counted on: the power of a covenant. It could change her life. Or, with the clock ticking, it could seal her death. Word of Honor it book three in the Newpointe 911 series by award-winning novelist Terri Blackstock. Newpointe 911 offers taut, superbly crafted novels of fear, faith, and close-knit, small town relationships, seasoned with romance and tempered by insights into the nature of relationships, redemption, and the human heart. Look for best-selling books one and two, Private Justice and Shadow of Doubt, and the upcoming Trial by Fire at your favorite Christian bookstore.

I am on the last book of the series and I have loved each one. My husband picked up one after I finished reading it and hasn't put it down.

Well, honestly, I have never read a Terri Blackstock book I didn't like so could not have given this anything other than five stars. She cannot write them fast enough for me and my family. She's a great author with great faith and we hope for many more of her mysteries to entertain us in the future!!

(Hide Review...)  A soap opera, not a mystery
Reviewer Permalink
Word of Honor was so poorly written that I found it hard to finish the book. Instead of telling the story through one character, the author jumped from one character to another not allowing the reader to identify with any of the characters. Reading Word of Honor was more like watching TV instead of reading a book. The conversations between the characters were corny. I felt like I was watching a poorly written TV soap opera. The Christian message was dominant and preachy instead of being informative. The Christian message seemed forced instead of a natural part of the story line. If I wanted a book that preaches along with a good story line, there are many good books out there that are much better written, ie the BIBLE!

(Hide Review...)  Proof that Terri Blackstock knows her stuff!
Reviewer Permalink
I would have to say that Terri Blackstock has shown her abilities as a writer once again in this book. She has demonstrated an absolutely excellent writing ability when it comes to this whole series! I greatly enjoyed "Word of Honor," and some of the themes of a covenant that were so prevalent in this book that I think are oftentimes overlooked so easily in our society. Mind you, I think there are a couple of points in which priorities lose their place in this book, but I also believe that they are restored before the end. I enjoy the murder mystery that is held in the story of one man's faithfulness to God, his family, and his friend. I also really enjoy the story behind Jill and Dan and all the struggles of their relationship while they're still so on and off. Most of all, I love the Christ-centered theme of all of Terri Blackstock's books. This is one sister in Christ who really knows how to write 'em!

(Hide Review...)  As Always- GREAT!

This book was probably my favorite out of Blackstock's Newpoint 911 Series - the suspensful story of lawyer Jill, and firefighter Dan fighting to protect their lives makes for a great read! I would recommend this to all- as well as the other books in this series! :)

Also: The Second Chances Series & Sun Coast Chronicles by Terri Balckstock.

Terri Blackstock continues to entertain us with well-written christian narratives. Word of Honor rivits the reader to each page as the heroine struggles with keeping her word to the man who held her hostage yet claims to be innocent. Blackstock weaves a tale so realistic of how circumstances can be different than they look. Great characterizations and true to life scenes make this a fabulous read.
