No Less Days

by 

Amanda G. Stevens 

David Galloway can’t die.How many lifetimes can God expect one man to live? Over a century old, David Galloway isolates himself from the mortal humans who die or desert him by making a quiet life as a used bookstore owner in Northern Michigan. But then he spots a news article about a man who, like him, should be dead.

Daredevil celebrity Zachary Wilson walked away unscathed from what should have been a deadly fall. David tracks the man down, needing answers. Soon David discovers a close-knit group of individuals as old as he is who offer the sort of kinship and community he hasn’t experienced for decades—but at what cost?  

David finds himself keeping secrets other than his own. . .protecting more than himself alone. He’ll have to decide what’s worth the most to him—security or community. When crimes come to light that are older than any mortal, he fears the pressure is more than he can stand. What does God require of him, and is David strong enough to see it through?

My Thoughts:

No Less Days is unlike anything I thought it would be. First, I loved that the setting was Michigan. I am a proud Michigander. Second, this book is timeless and allures you into the pages unexpectantly. It's shocking, really. I was captured by from page one did not stop reading until the final page. This is a book that will have you ask questions of your faith, time, eternity and will have you quite speculative. 

I love how in a fiction novel, an author weaves in deeper theological discussion and beliefs, especially in a way that is subtle, but one that allows us to dig deep within ourselves to discover how we think and believe about God, how we influence those around us with our beliefs and what do we actually do with our beliefs? This book was more than I thought it would be and better than I could hope for! 

I give this book 4.5/5 stars. A favorable review was not required. This is my honest opinion for a complimentary copy.
