"The Franciscan Conspiracy is a stunner! I am debating with myself: 'Should I lend it, or strongly suggest to my friends and fellow readers that they buy a copy?! Certainly it is too good not to share, one way or another."

"The story is superbly crafted - a blend of mystery, intrigue, reality and truth.  The characters are richly human, and the subject matter is treated respectfully.  Fun to read, thought-provoking and insightful with a clear undertone of spiritual passion."

"What a great read, but I shouldn't stop there. This novel sparkles in many facets. It's lively characters have stayed with me, especially Conrad and Amata. The history and picture of the period came alive for me. Conrad's spiritual struggle, especially, made me think about my own positions on some of these issues. Well done, John."
