I rarely write a review, but this book keeps you hooked from page one right to the end. I especially loved how the author portrays our spiritual enemy showing how he typically tries to attack those who are serious prayer intercessors.

Exciting story!
Called to Battle called out to me, and I am so glad it did. From the moment I opened the pages, I could tell J. Henry Watson poured his heart and soul into the characters and theme of this book. Well developed in every way and even more exciting to read.
Worth the read
Wow! What a terrific read. It’s been a while since I enjoyed a Christian Fictional book to this level. I felt like I could actually feel the breeze and feel the presence of all that was going on. The story took me in, and wouldn’t release me for the two days it took me to read it! If you want some intrigue, some webs and weaves, this is for you. Let’s get to the sequel already!
Gripping novel with inspiring characters
Everything felt so real, I really got sucked in when I started reading. I loved the double perspective of the novel. The characters were so amazing I wish I had them in my life! Awesome book about spiritual warfare and an inspiration for how we should live when we’re under attack.
Captivating Story
“Called to Battle” is a captivating novel that keeps you glued to the page. As someone who does not often read novels, I loved the character development, how the plot flowed, and all the twist and turns I didn’t expect but made it all make sense! Whether you want a quality story about the importance of serving God, an exciting crime story, or both, you will love this book!
It is a fantastic and fast read!
"If you like suspense, Called to Battle will not disappoint! I was captivated by the first chapter. I think my favorite character is Martha. She is an amazing, God loving, caring women. Not just for the pastor, but to everyone. The trust she has for the Lord is amazing. I am exited to read the next book! Whether it is a series or totally different book!"
