Lukewarm no more!
I have read all three books, House of Gold took me less than 1 day (riveting masterpiece). But there was something that spoke to my heart in Pierced by a Sword that has deepened and expanded my faith. I considered myself devout before reading them, but to quote Joe Jackson, "Lukewarm!", was a more accurate description. You began me on a journey into a deep, personal relationship with Jesus, and Our Blessed Mother, Mary. Thank you for your great gift.

Required Reading for All Catholics
I read all three books, each one was better than the last! I don't want it to end, please give us more to read! They're uplifting, inspiring, riveting, suspenseful, exciting, touching... and I learned so many things about the faith that I didn't even know! And I thought I knew a lot! This should be required reading for all Catholics, they're the best three novels I've ever read. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Read, Re-read, Re-read Again
I cannot pick just one of the books since I have read and re-read all three novels many, many times. These people are so real that I cannot call them "characters." Most excellent books, thank you for writing them!

A chain reaction bringing me back to the Church.
I am a cradle Catholic who had fallen far away from the Church for many years. After having my first child Baptized, I decided to take a closer look at the faith in which I had promised to raise my child. About two years ago I ordered these novels while looking for answers about Catholicism. They really gave me a great idea of what it meant to actually be Catholic. I wanted to emulate the people in the book. Pierced by a Sword led me to NFP which led me to RCIA which taught me all the things I had not been taught as a child. It was these books that started a chain reaction to finally being Confirmed in the Catholic Church this past Easter. Praise God!

A true blessing!
I was slowly coming back to my faith and these novels sped it up tenfold! I have a more questions than I do answers now and am hungry to find those answers about the Catholic faith and the bible! Thank you! Please write more! I devoured these novels very quickly!

More please!!
These three books were amazing!! I started reading from a very skeptical viewpoint, but finished book one and then devoured books two and three. These books have brought me back to God, daily mass and the rosary. Thank you. Please write some more!!

Amazing, Inspired, Life-Changing
Picked up "Pierced by a Sword" browsing in a used book store. Stood reading a few pages and was hooked. The whole trilogy was on the shelf. I just grabbed them all because I was so happy to see such inspired Catholic fiction with such solid theology. The characters are so real and the story so true-to-life. I finished the first book at three a.m. reading non-stop. These books have shown me the necessity and value of fervent prayer. Turned my daily rosary into a labor of love.

Would Like to Read More, Bud
Please Bud, continue writing! House of Gold was by far the best of the three and was so inspirational and uplifting! It gives the Catholic message and presents the Faith in a profound way. The epilogue and all that is in it shows such a distinction between our Catholic outlook on life and tragedy and the rest of the world. Thank you, Bud Macfarlane.

More Novels Please!
They literally revitalized my faith that was asleep. I wish Bud would write more novels.

Bud, Please Write More!
These books were amazing! They are what started my conversion and ultimately started a landslide of changing my view of the entire Catholic faith! I thank God that this book was put into my hands because now I know the truth. Thank you Bud! Please keep writing!
