Day of War
Page 31
—Eric Wilson, New York Times bestselling author of
Fireproof, Haunt of Jackals, and Valley of Bones
An enthralling and captivating story that captured me from start to finish. Extremely well written. Brutal and honest, thrilling and powerful.
—Grant Curtis, producer of
the Spiderman movie franchise
This book about Benaiah, an ancient warrior who ranks as one of Israel’s great unsung heroes, is both captivating and inspiring. Cliff Graham does more than write words—he paints pictures. He does more than tell a story—he invites readers into one of the most amazing stories in Scripture.
—Mark Batterson, author of
In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day
Finally! A gritty, intense, and real portrayal of one of the most dynamic biblical characters of all time. The images sear into your brain like you’re watching an IMAX movie. Day of War grabbed me by the throat and would not release its grip until the last page. You don’t read Day of War, you consume it.
—David L. Cunningham, filmmaker
and director of To End All Wars and The Path to 9/11
They call it a war of biblical proportions for a reason! Cliff Graham brings history, faith, and fighting to life, all at the same time!
—Lt. Col. (ret) James Jay Carafano, Ph.D., director of
the Douglas and Sarah Allison Center for Foreign
Policy Studies, The Heritage Foundation
