Comments about Preston’s novel, Battle for the Round Tower:

Brilliantly readable! I see the characters, the scenes, everything! I see from the beginning Hank and Vassar prepping for the journey, the cave entrance, the battle. OMG it gives me gooseflesh. –Nicole, my sister

I got to finish the book! And wow, Pres. This is huge. The idea of the kingdom of light defying the boundaries of the Round Tower is so reminiscent of Jesus’ word pictures of the kingdom. It is amazing.  And probably more important—hopeful.  – Cathy, a marketing executive

I believe you have addressed the complex emotional layers of survivor experiences. You have effectively communicated, yet were sensitive to avoid detail that can trigger. You have captured the burden while communicating His unfailing and unconditional love. – Catherine, social media expert and mentor to women survivors of abuse

I loved the redirection that I felt regarding solitude, worship, relying on the Holy Spirit, watching for confirmation, trusting, and knowing your identity in Christ.  – Laura, teacher

I really like the way you have integrated theology into the interactions among the characters. As in The Screw Tape Letters, you provide a fresh look at the mental and spiritual warfare. You have written this in a way that anyone of any faith level can grasp the important parts. It is congruent and clear. –Randy, a social worker

I found myself reading Battle for the Round Tower just as I did my initial reading of The Chronicles of Narnia, which I first did as an adult. While there was clearly spiritual symbolism, the first time through I read almost entirely for the pleasure of the story. Then, I did a second, slower reading, intentionally hunting for and relishing each truth discovered on the journey. As a woman, I especially appreciated the juxtaposition of the rugged masculinity with the sensitive vulnerability of Hank. –Tricia, development officer

This manuscript represents a great work. The writing skill and turn of phrases are excellent. Richly rewarding. = Lamar, retired CEO

You develop scenes so well, bringing life to the surroundings, as well as educating the reader. I love the way you do this. – Elise, a volunteer

My heart responded at a deep and important level at a number of junctures – for which I am deeply thankful. There are many places I put the book down and went to Him, His Word, and His Life for a time of contemplation. – Heather, a wife and mom

I like Hank tremendously. He has a great sense of humor and real courage under fire, but knows where to go to when the going’s too rough. I thoroughly enjoy the fact that Hank is so normal. And, I LOVE Celia! The affection between her and Hank is heart-warming. –Sandy, a guide and coach

I felt like I was there. When I “got into” the book, I would read over 100 pages in a sitting.  – Tyson, a lawyer

I enjoyed reading the story.  You are a good story teller. – Anthony, a contractor
