Book Review by Carol A. Brown of Seventh Dimension - The Prescience, Hang on for the Read





I have read and enjoyed each book in this series as they have been released and I have to say that this one is the best of the series! Roberts has hit her stride as an author. Each story builds on the one before. Although each can be read as a stand-alone, the reader could experience some confusion due to not having details from preceding stories. In this story, we get to know Daniel, who has played more of a supporting role in other books. It takes us ever closer to the end of time. It is clearly a Christian take on how history will end.


Daniel and Shale are in Jerusalem in their quest to find Daniel’s father who is somehow connected with the "portals" that make time travel possible. Bombs falling everywhere. They become guardians of an orphan girl. Daniel’s mother dies. While betrothed, Shale longs to be married but events keep happening that prevent even the planning of a wedding. Daniel comes to understand his calling—one of 144,000 witnesses who will die by martyrdom! Perhaps we will find in the next in the series how that works out for Shale? Fast-paced action—a 21st-century man chariot racing?—keeps the reader engaged from the first page.

Writing craft—Author, Roberts, has done her homework.

• The information of the culture (social and religious) at the time of Christ is very well researched, very thorough.
• Well edited. The reader is not distracted by technical errors.
• Excellent and intricate plotting. I can only imagine what the author’s office looked like during this process! No “slow” places in the story.
• Excellent weaving of multiple genres.
• Characters have grown and matured as individuals. Excellent development of the series.

I appreciated how Roberts has been able to extract a storyline from the plethora of details in the body of work on eschatology. The sheer volume overwhelms me.

Highly recommend this book. Although written for the YA audience, anyone who enjoys a fast-paced story with a bent for the supernatural, and just the right amount of romance, would enjoy this story regardless of age.

Book Review of Seventh Dimension - The Door: A Young Adult Fantasy, Book 1 - FREE on Amazon Kindle

I found this review of my book Seventh Dimension - The Door by a book reviewer/blogger, and I loved his review, so I'm sharing it here on my blog. 

Glenn Haggerty's website is Christian Books for Tweens and Teens, and he reviews a lot of Christian books. You can check out his website for his favorites, and if you have a Christian YA book you would like for him to review, you can contact him on his website. 




At fourteen, Shale Snyder has a secret clinging to her like a gob of cotton candy. Someone is stalking her. Or is that in her head? After a run-in with her nemesis, Judd, and a suspension by school officials, her only friend, Rachel’s parents forbid them spending time together. Alone, she follows a strange puppy into the woods behind her apartment into a beautiful garden with talking animals. However, wicked underlings drive her from the garden into a land far away and long ago. There, she meets a boy, Daniel, a wicked stepmother from another dimension, and eventually her real father. Although Daniel is kind, an alter ego, also resides in her new home to torment her. As the adventures unfold, Shale must confront demons within and demons without, and find answers that are bound up with the mysterious personage that the animals call “The King.”
"The Door" is an account of a young girl coming of age, exploring romantic feelings, finding deliverance from bondage and spiritual enlightenment. This story has cuddly animals,
horrific creatures, and interesting characters woven into a transformational journey. Another fun read.

Wakulla Book Review: Seventh Dimension - The Castle, Book 3, a Young Adult Fantasy


Wakulla Book Review

Seventh Dimension Series – The Castle,
a Young Adult Fantasy, Book 3



Summary:  Chased by the Romans for crimes he didn't commit, Daniel takes refuge among the crowds headed to Jerusalem for Pesach. There he becomes a witness to the events surrounding and including the death and resurrection of Yeshua.

In a quest for Daniel's soul, demons use lies and temptations to keep these truths from shattering his traditional Jewish beliefs, which say that Yeshua was only a prophet—not the Meshiach promised of old. But God has other plans. Through Yeshua's acts of mercy and love and selfsacrifice, Daniel finally accepts that Yeshua is the Savior of the world.

With a well-hidden twist at the end, Roberts reveals that the Lord's plans for Daniel are only beginning, and that he is far more important to his Jewish brethren—and the world—than initially thought.

Author's purpose:  Through a clear and concise presentation of the 
Passion Week, Judaism is shown that its Meshiach has already come.

Themes: Roberts uses the fulfillment of Old Testament requirements: By his own sacrifice, he became the foretold priest; by his lineage, he sits on the throne as king; and as the one told of by Moses, he was the prophet to come, to prove that Yeshua was the Son of God.


Did I enjoy the book: Yes. As one redeemed, it reaffirmed all I have come to believe and assured me that the rock on which I stand is truly the cornerstone from which the promises spring.
