    About this audiobook

    Small-town lawyer Bethany Barclay is struggling to piece together the final months of her best friend's life. And as Bethany digs deeper into a complex web of lies surrounding her ties to the murder of her client's son, she remains unaware of the real battle in front of her. She thinks her friend Annabelle was killed because of a first-century Christian artifact. What Bethany doesn't know is that Annabelle died in the crossfire between two shadowy organizations. The Wilderness is dedicated to the destruction of all religious faith. The Garden, led by the Builder, carries on a grim, secret struggle to protect the church. But as Bethany discovers that she's a tiny part of a larger war, can she trust the Builder to save her?

      Had all the elements to be a good book -- secret organizations and a religious artifact being sought after by both sides. Really poorly written though. I could go on about how lacking the plot is in everybody seemingly knowing what the other side is doing; it's just magical that everybody has such perfect knowledge. The author also went to inordinate measures to make sure time and again that we're aware that his characters are black. The only redeeming quality was occasional religious reference.
    • 5/5
      Fast-paced and interesting!

      The Church builder creates a complex world of characters and brings them together in a dynamic way. The ending makes you want the next book right away but doesn't have such a cliff hanger as to be unsatisfying. A thrill a minute read.
