review 1: This story is interesting in that it does, in fact, follow the biblical account (1 Samuel 27-31)very closely, but it is redundantly bloody and provides the reader with no helpful insight into how God's overall plan has remained consistent throughout human history. Almost identical accounts of hand-to-hand combat are repeated over and over. This entire subject is one that troubles many readers of the Bible who have not yet understood the big picture of God's plan to reconcile fallen mankind to Himself. They thus experience difficulty understanding the consistently of God's divine nature from the bloody Old Testament to the unconditional love of the New Testament. This book depicts quite accurately those bloody days, but provides no guidance into God's overall purposes f... morerom the fall of mankind in the Garden of Eden to the final Amen of Revelation. Thus, I applaud biblically accurate fiction, but cannot recommend this series to beginning Bible students who will not receive much-needed guidance in understanding God's overall revelation of Himself.
review 2: "Day of War, author Cliff Graham's first novel, has earned him a film option for the entire book series---Lion of War---from director David L. Cunningham (Path to 9/11) and producer Grant Curtis (Spider-Man films).In ancient Israel, at the crossroads of the great trading routes, a man named Benaiah is searching for a fresh start in life. He has joined a band of soldiers led by a warlord named David, seeking to bury the past that refuses to leave him. Their ragged army is disgruntled and full of reckless men. Some are loyal to David, but others are only with him for the promise of captured wealth. While the ruthless and increasingly mad King Saul marches hopelessly against the powerful Philistines, loyal son Jonathan in tow, the land of the Hebrew tribes has never been more despondent---and more in need of rescue. Over the course of ten days, from snowy mountain passes to sword-wracked battlefields, Benaiah and his fellow mercenaries must call upon every skill they have to survive and establish the throne for David---if they don't kill each other first". Quote from Library. Fantastic read, can not wait to read the others int he series. less
