A feast for the eyes and mind. Supernatural elements, glimpses into the spirit realm battling over Joshua and his actions, gave the book added depth. Also, building intrigue and romance enhanced the already interesting staple.” WriteReadFred, Book Blog Reviewer"'The Jesus boy' by Sean Elliot Russell gives us a wonder. This spirit-filled superhero Jesus boy presents an urban fantasy as an extension of true reality. The wondrous events ring true even though we know this is fiction. ...
