Wonderful novels
I thoroughly enjoyed Pierced by a Sword so much I requested the remaining 2 other books; Conceived Without Sin and House of Gold. I hope and pray that Mr Bud MacFarlane decides to author more novels.

Your faith will be strengthened!
I first read Pierced by a Sword several years ago. It helped me through a tough time in my life when I was beginning to have serious faith issues. I only recently read the other 2 books and both of them were amazing. Based on sound teachings of the Church, the stories of how our faith can get us through are inspiring, life changing, and - as books should be - entertaining while also being enlightening. I wish there were even more in this series.

renewed Faith
I have read all three books. But i have read House of Gold 3 times and every time I am amazed. It puts, fear, Love, Hope and Faith in my life. I will probably read it again in the next few years. Would love to see a follow up of House of Gold.

Very inspiring, awesome read.
I was a recent convert when I first read these books. I found them extremely inspiring. In fact, so much so that I requested another copy of each book and gave to my mom. And later she was converted to the Catholic faith. They are wonderful and recommend them to anyone. I still have the books and actually am going to read them again real soon.

Enjoyable reading
I really enjoyed these 3 novels that Bud wrote. I wish he would write more. I finished them and donated them to the book sale at my church and they were bought up right away. Please write more soon.

Powerful & prayerful reading
I, too, was hooked after reading only a few pages of the first novel, Pierced By A Sword. I have now read all three novels, and all I can say is "Wow!" I am in the habit of saying 2 to 3 rosaries a day; now, they have more meaning & sincerity to me. My daily prayers even mean more to me now. Thank you, Bud, for your inspiration...I do hope you write more.

Helped return me to the church!!
I could not put these books down. I read all three books in less then a week. It has started the process of returning me to the faith and devotion of my childhood. There is no way possible for me to express the ammount of gratitude I have for be able to receive these books.
- Rick LaFrance from Tennessee

Very inspirational!!
A devote Catholic co-worker gave me these books to read 10 years ago. I read all three in less than two weeks and never stopped thinking about them. Ordering them for myself to read again and hopefully to pass them on to someone else to enjoy.
- Cindy J from Colorado

Great read. Made you really think.
I read these books about 7 years ago and I have passed them around to anyone that would be interested. The books were so good that I could not put them down. I read them in about 2 weeks. I recommend them to everyone. Thank you for the great books.
- Sherry from Louisiana

Awesome! I would recommend to anyone!
I loved these novels. They are inspiring while at the same time very realistic and teaching without being "preachy". Anyone could pick them up and enjoy them, not just someone who is Catholic. I appreciated how the books follow the lives of the main charatcers thru real life situations, and that the characters themselves are so real.
