They believed neglecting faith would bring no consequences. Let there be a redefinition of the term ‘Holy War’ forever .
There is a cordial invitation for you to stroll the streets of a modern-day “Mayberry” that has lost its way, unaware of its role in a global apocalyptic future. Each step away from the faith was the equivalent of a blind sprint towards disaster, and for the people of Grace’s Parrish this resulted in being designated as the point Satan chose to breach and ignite an inextinguishable hell on earth! With death and time confiscated, the tormented citizens surrendered the one they treated as an outcast to relieve their anguish. Those who believe their life includes more than their fair share of transgressors will easily identify with protagonist Margaret Sullivan. This modern-day Joan of Arc epitomizes fighting empty-handed is not synonymous with being unarmed, and when the smoke clears, the price is heavy.
Nobody’s Mulligan is a call to self-inventory with eternity at stake. Accentuated with the divinity of forgiveness, Nobody’s Mulligan culminates with a robust “What if?” question ripe for insertion into present day discussion.
Escalating depravities are the ravenous moths devouring the Christian fibers of our American quilt and this plague has but one remedy. Nobody’s Mulligan is a compelling proclamation that ‘turning the other cheek’ is not an invitation to the sinister and silences “Fifty Shades of Gray” with a single shade of pray. A feel-great-fiction certain to reverberate through the Christian faith and into ancillary sects of Irish, conservative, women’s empowerment, family saga, and dramatic thriller enthusiasts. No one comes away unscathed. Not even you.
Expect to be moved.
About the Author:
A proud father of five from Levittown, New York, Brian
Holt was retired from a career in law enforcement as well
as over thirty years as a volunteer fireman serving as chief. Indulging in his own desire to write, Brian sat down and started jotting thoughts but struggled to compose a viable outline. Frustrated, he found his biggest inspiration as the result of praying the rosary daily, asking for the words to the book that needed to be written. After some weeks, Brian sat at his desk and whispered a form of a spiritual epiphany to himself, “Okay, your way, not mine.” From there, the first words of Nobody’s Mulligan began to flow. .
Nobody’s Mulligan Review:
When I started reading “Nobody’s Mulligan,” I did not know what to expect. However, as I continued to read, the story became an epic read of good vs. evil, and I could not put it down.
The main highlight of the story is the lead characters. Margaret is fantastic in the lead as she finds herself battling against the force of evil. I also liked the plot where she searches for more information on her parents, and I loved the scenes with her grandfather. Apart from Margaret, I loved Paddy Sullivan and thought he was another star. Paddy and Margaret form a great team.
Similarly, even other characters like Brian and Nicole added nicely to the plot. Craig Templeton, my word! How do I begin to describe this sinister character? No book would be exciting without a memorable villain, and Craig fit the role flawlessly.
The author paces the story nicely, where we see how he forms the bigger picture. Moreover, I thought the author did an excellent job in the second half, as the events lead to an exciting climax.
Having said, that I did find the initial chapters a bit difficult to get by. Some scenes and characters did not add value to the canvas, like Otis, Walter, Garvin, and Claude. At times I felt the author sidetracked the plot by writing scenes on more minor characters. Once you get past the initial chapters and focus only on leads, the story is lovely.
Apart from that, I thought this was an awe-inspiring debut by the author, and I look forward to reading more of his books in the future. Overall, “Nobody’s Mulligan” is a great Christian fiction fantasy novel that I feel is worth checking out.
