Review – Mountain Top

January 8, 2011 By Michael Leave a Comment

Mike Andrews pastors a small, but growing church in rural North Carolina. Previously a defense attorney, Mike heeds the call of God to enter the pastorate. So when Sam Miller contacts Mike about defending him in a criminal case, Mike resists. Especially when he finds out that Sam claims God told him in a dream that Mike would be his lawyer.

Although Sam seems a bit nutty, he’s also genuine, and Mike agrees to take the case, at least temporarily. It seems no amount of persuading can convince Sam that Mike no longer practices law. As the facts add up, Mike stumbles upon a crime much more serious than the one Sam is accused of, and it involves some big names in the town.

Will Mike be able to prove Sam’s innocence while exposing the ones who framed his client?

Whitlow succeeds in making the reader care about his characters, and the setting is drawn with detail and obvious personal knowledge. I live in North Carolina, and I can picture the rolling country and quaint little churches (and their sometimes cruel politics) and almost taste the home-grown meals.

I love a supernatural element to novels, so it follows that I enjoyed this book. Though Sam’s visionary gift sometimes offends, it illustrates one way God can work in people’s lives. The author also adds a hefty dose of suspense to his legal expertise.

One of the main themes I came away with is that God can use anyone and anything to accomplish His purposes, even if His means are strange to us. God can use the most unlikely vessel for His glory, but it must be available for use.

This novel comes highly recommended. Visit the author at his website to find out more about his books.
