  • “Thrasher’s novels always makes me contemplate the deeper meaning of life. This one is no different. Laila has made some bad choices. But the heavy questions of redemption and grace, and whether it’s ever truly too late to change who you are gives you cause to question your life and re-evaluate where you stand in anticipation of eternity. A thought-provoking novel that caused me to wonder how broken I am willing to be before I surrender to the One who can heal any kind of broken life, heart or soul.” – D. Wilson, Amazon Review
  • “Broken shows that we live in a broken world, and the only way for us to get through this life in a satisfying manner is to follow the Lord, and to follow His precepts.” – A. Schultz, Amazon Review
  • “Broken? That’s a place I’ve been, a place I am. Not the situation that Laila finds herself in, but I get Thrasher’s message. It’s his Hosea story. It’s his story of all of us and how utterly broken we are and how we need the hope that can only be found in Jesus. Of how, even though we are the cause of our brokenness, He takes His broken heart and heals us with His broken body.” – J. Olds, Amazon Review
  • “Thrasher has written the rare suspense novel that truly has a deeper message of faith and hope.” – C. Lockstein, Goodreads
