Just how badly would we wreck things if global society is governed as though humans were the highest power? Can technology apprehend the Divine? Bridges is a literary artist, who paints her dystopian future setting with a vibrant narrative-style brush. FAITH AWAKENED is a Biblical Sci-Fi classic, and I look forward to viewing more of Grace Bridges’ futuristic works in my mind’s eye.

FAITH AWAKENED is unlike any other book I have ever read.... an intricately woven, well-written tale. Almost without realizing it, the reader is helplessly entangled in the undercurrents of the story...An excellent, touching, and spiritually enlightening read.

~ Delia Latham, author of ALMOST LIKE A SONG and GOLDENEYES

FAITH AWAKENED does what few novels can do: taking the reader into a fantasy land via science fiction...vibrantly portraying both a world gone mad, and a world at peace. It’s hard to believe this is her first published novel...You’ll want more.

“A child seeking acceptance, a slave seeking to be free, the lost finding hope in a dying world. Past, present, and future, pulling together both reality and dream-scape... Grace Bridges brings her characters to life with much feeling and emotion. A tight concise story, descriptively written... Very well done.”
