Testimonials

Wonderful novels
I thoroughly enjoyed Pierced by a Sword so much I requested the remaining 2 other books; Conceived Without Sin and House of Gold. I hope and pray that Mr Bud MacFarlane decides to author more novels.

Your faith will be strengthened!
I first read Pierced by a Sword several years ago. It helped me through a tough time in my life when I was beginning to have serious faith issues. I only recently read the other 2 books and both of them were amazing. Based on sound teachings of the Church, the stories of how our faith can get us through are inspiring, life changing, and - as books should be - entertaining while also being enlightening. I wish there were even more in this series.
