Here is a copy of my note to the author:
John, I just finished reading, Abiding Darkness, for the second
time (remember you sent me a copy in 2008? [I forgot it was actually 2007]).
If it is possible, I loved it even better the second time around. I placed a review on Amazon. I want to thank you for writing that incredible story. It was an emotional and inspiring read for me. I cried and laughed and cried and laughed while I stood in awe of a talent I can only hope to have a fraction of. I am still a huge fan and am reading the next in the series, Wedgewood Grey, for the second time as well. Promise me, you will never stop writing!
To Readers:
This
is a breath-taking character-driven story and top-drawer spiritual
warfare fiction. Frank Peretti fans will love this book! Anderson wraps
his pen around the English language like no one I have
ever read before. I first read a John Aubrey Anderson book in 2007 and
wrote a ridiculously gushing review at that time (It was so gushy gushy,
it earned me a letter and a signed review copy of another one
of the author's books [the first in the series]), which I treasure to
this day. And I do not take back a word of that review!).
My
only regret, is that I placed the review on a blog I no longer have and
neglected to put it on Amazon as well. So the original review is gone
forever. I will be posting another review of that book soon.

Back to, Abiding Darkness. It is a novel with depth and scope most authors only dream about but rarely achieve.
Besides being an AWESOME read, the way the author presents relations between his racially diverse characters is even more relevant and inspiring for today's readers than when he first crafted this amazing tale. I am a long-time fan of Anderson and his "Black and White Chronicles" series.
As a Christian fiction writer, John Aubrey Anderson's regard for the Word of God and his desire to know God and to make him known shines through every word of this inspired work. I am proud to recommend it to readers of all ages.

My Amazon Review:
Wow
wow wow! I am bowled over by Anderson's skill as an author. To say he
is a master wordsmith is an understatement. I just read, Abiding Darkness,
for the second time. it was an emotional a read for me the first time
I read it, and it was no different the second time around! I cried, I
laughed, I cried and laughed some more. And now, I am going to read the
next book in the series for the second time as well. A copy of Abiding Darkness was given to me to read, and how glad I am to have received it.
This series has made me a huge fan of John Aubrey Anderson!
