Thought-provoking! Life-changing!
I was at the edge of my seat! As a Catholic, I felt at home with the author's use of Catholic terminology and visual imagery throughout the story. It is unlike other apocalyptic novels. The story is superb!
- Lynn from North Carolina

Best of the Best
Awesome book! It will stir the reader's soul. PIERCED BY A SWORD outdistances the Left Behind series by bounds! I recommend this book to all Catholics.
- Michael from Clarksdale, Mississippi

A Wonderful Revelation.
PIERCED BY A SWORD is simply the most influential piece of fiction I have ever read. I would liken it to the Book of Revelation in that it gives a warning and encouragement to the reader simultaneously.
- Adam P. Miller from BattleCreek, MI

Scary, Compelling, Moving.
I'm an avid reader, but have never read anything more moving than this book. When I finished it, I was breathless. For two weeks afterward, I couldn't stop saying enough Hail Mary's.
- T. Myers from Johnstown, PA

Powerful! Inspiring! I couldn't put it down!
I don't think I have ever read a more powerful book in my life. The characters were so real! It gave me a real-life perspective on our faith and the inspiration to be a better Catholic. I can't wait to read Mr. McFarlane's other novels, he truly is a gift from God!
- Melissa from Kansas City, MO

Profoundly impacted my soul!

PIERCED BY A SWORD changed me!
Reading PIERCED BY A SWORD has inspired me to realize where I was going with my faith. This book turned me in the right direction. It is easy to relate to such life-like characters.
- Jason from Erie, Pa

Truly inspired by God!!
PIERCED BY A SWORD helped to bring me back into the Church. The book challenged me to discover the truths that I had been searching for. This, along with Bud's other two books, were the best I have ever read. These books are truly inspired by God.
- Heather from Georgia

It's never too late to learn
This cradle Catholic has learned so very much and grown in her faith due to these three books & all of the tapes from the Mary Foundation. My son, 15, will be reading it for sure. THANK YOU BUD FOR USING YOUR GIFTS FROM GOD THAT WE ALL MAY LEARN AND GROW IN OUR LOVE FOR OUR CATHOLIC FAITH. I now know and understand our Mother Mary and I now say the Rosary and Divine Mercy Chaplet daily, as well as strive to be at mass every day. I am a better wife, mother, friend and employee because of Bud's books.
- Cindy from Gulfport, MS

Everyone should read PIERCED BY A SWORD!
I've read PIERCED BY A SWORD five times and I find that each time I gather more from it. I have passed my books on to others. They too will feel like they are a part of this exceptional book.
- Juanita Fresquez from Thornton, CO
