Topics include:

  • “Discovering the Bible through “Holy Terror” – a review of all the Bible story Easter Eggs in this book.
  • “Discovering the Bible through the book, “Holy Terror – A Deeper Dive” – looking beyond just the Easter Egg stories in the book, but rather, looking at the plethora of scriptural references it contains, and the Greek language it contains.
  • “Standing in the Gap” – your youth is an advantage in being a Christian, not a hindrance – 1 Timothy 4:12
  • “Letting Go and Letting God” – trading peace for payback – Romans 12:21
  • “My God’s a Big God” – God is God, and we are not – Isaiah 55:8-9
  • “Giving Thumos the Boot” – remember, Thumos is a fictional character, and we don’t want vigilantism; instead, we need to be good citizens by helping and protecting each other, being silent in the wake of crime is no longer an option.

  • “The Myth of ‘Control’” – coming to grips with the fact that outside of one’s own self, control is an illusion

The best Christian action books with heavy allegorical references

Why am I passionate about this?

I have felt a spiritual call in my life from as early as I can remember having memories as a young child. Being a life-long Christian has always drawn me to try to see God in everything around me, from people I encounter, to creation itself, to songs, to movies, etc. So, reading books which contain Christian allegory – symbols, meanings, underlying Biblical references – is very exciting for me. I enjoy trying to decipher that symbolism and try to understand the undertones that the book’s author is trying to communicate indirectly. I find that to be a personal challenge as I read, but also I find it very inspiring as well!

Holy Terror

By John R. Dougherty

What is my book about?

Detective Jelani is a tough, veteran cop, who earned his stripes in the rough-and-tumble streets of St. Louis before relocating to Miami. His younger partner, Detective Madigan, is brash and confident. But they were not prepared to become embroiled in a series of cosmic events they could never have dreamt of.

God and His heavenly host are facing off with Satan and his hellish host. Caught in the middle is Thumos, possibly the most powerful angel ever created. He is a warrior angel, “quickened” by God for one thing: battle. No one can match his prowess, not even the Archangels. But Thumos has become a disgruntled warrior of God, and after standing by for long enough, he can take it no more.
