Full Tilt
Creston Mapes
ISBN: 159052506X
Format: Paperback, 400pp
Pub. Date: March 2006
Publisher: Multnomah Publishers, Inc.






From the Publisher:

What Good Can Become of Psychotics, Meth Users, or the Mob? In this sequel to Dark Star, rock star Everett Lester is eager to share the redeeming power of Christ's love with the world through his music. But reaching his family in their twisted lives is another issue altogether. His gambling-addicted brother, Eddie, and the rest of his deteriorating family greet Everett's attempts with disdain and hatred. When the Mob gets involved, dangerous threats become a haunting reality. And when Eddie's son, Wesley - who blames Everett for his brother's death - hooks up with psychotic Tony Badino, the two meth-using antichrists will stop at nothing to bring Everett down and secure his demise!

Reviewed by Gina Holmes

In this sequel to Dark Star, Creston takes us on a thrill ride. Everett is still rocking but the born again believer is now doing it for the Lord and not everyone is happy that the wildly popular group, Death Stroke has disbanded.

Everett wants to begin a new life with wife, Karen, but they are plunged into danger again and again, first by their Meth addicted nephew, then by Everett's gambling addicted brother who is in deep with the mob.

Murder, drugs, rock n roll and redemption. This book has it all. It also includes a fair amount of prayer, ministering, and scripture quoting as well.

You do not have to have read book one to fully understand and enjoy Full Tilt.

Creston's writing is even better in this novel. He doesn't shy away from tough issues and once again proves that no one is beyond redemption. I recommend Full Tilt to anyone who has suffered from addiction or knows someone who has and to those who have sowed some wild seeds before coming to Christ.

    Enter me too! Autographed would rock. I left comments over at Brandilyn's so this is a repeat...but I love the "edginess" of Creston's work...it's not just "gentle Christian" anymore.

    Creston Mapes Rocks!
