Praise for Riven

“Thoroughly moving, Riven leaves an indelible impression on the reader. Its characters and message stay with you long after the final chapter. For me, it is also a deeply personal reminder of why God called me to prison ministry so many years ago.”

Chuck Colson, founder, Prison Fellowship

“Jerry Jenkins sets the standard for creative stories and compelling novels. Any bookshelf that is lacking his writing is missing a treasure.”

Max Lucado, pastor and best-selling author

“Jerry Jenkins writes from his heart a unique and engaging story. Riven is touching and unforgettable.”

Randy Alcorn, best-selling author of Heaven

“This novel will stay with you long after the final page. Riven’s complex characters will keep you riding an emotional wave until you are washed ashore in an astonishing conclusion. Read Riven at your own risk. It might unsettle the way you live.”

Dr. Michael and Cindy Easley

“Some books are fun to read; other books testify to real life transformation. Riven does both. You’ll recognize yourself in the characters—the weary man of God, the rebel without cause, the searching
20-something. Find in their stories the place where real life begins—on level ground at the foot of the cross. Jenkins gives hope to anyone thinking that they’ve run too far from God. Riven pictures God’s relentless pursuit of each of us. Riven is a testimony to God’s power to transform any and every repentant person.”

James MacDonald, pastor and Bible teacher, Walk in the Word
