Testament by Eli Felix
"Firstly, a big thanks goes to the author, Eli Felix, the publisher, Olympia Publishers, and ŷ for the opportunity to read this book, Testament, in digital format thanks to winning it in a giveaway. This isn't normally a book I would read, so I enjoyed expanding my horizons a bit. This was an interesting story of resilience and faith, with good pacing and character development. The main plot of the story is the eternal question of ultimate good fighting ultimate evil. It was an imaginative take on Biblical elements that wasn't necessarily up my alley but I thought the writing was good. Even though the narrative is religious, it doesn't feel overly preachy and allows you to come to the conclusions on your own. Thank you again!"

Testament by Eli Felix
"Felix's retelling of biblical events is a skillful mix of history, spirituality, and power struggles that tackle enduring questions of belief and control. It all begins with God's creation of Man, destined for a life of growth and eventual entrance into Heaven. But after the female inhabitants of Heaven demand their place, God reluctantly agrees, setting off a conflict that echoes through time.

Felix’s dialogue is sharp and pacing fast, revealing the characters' hidden motives and moral quandaries. The divine struggle for representation and gender equality adds depth to the ancient backdrop. Felix crafts striking portraits of historical figures such as Jesus, Mary, and Caligula among others, infusing them with complex motivations that drive the emotional heart of the story. The novel's central theme - light versus darkness - unfolds through a fierce battle between God and Satan, with humanity caught in the middle.

As God grapples with the consequences of His ambitions, Satan revels in chaos. The narrative also delves into the brutal clash between Roman paganism and the rise of Christianity, painting a vivid picture of the dangerous risks faced by early believers who dared to follow their faith. An urgent and timeless story that invites readers to reflect on their own beliefs and the nature of good and evil.

Hi guys!
I am giving away 100 Kindle ebooks of my debut fantasy/Christian fiction book Testament by Eli Felix.

This book is clean and does not go against any biblical principles, instead, it enunciates those principles and affirms faith from a religious and spiritual perspective.
The fantasy aspect of my book is to protect the fabric of the subject matter, and so that I could get creative with the storytelling.

It was a therapeutic exercise and I hope readers will find reading it as soothing as I found writing it.

As I like to say whenever I find myself fortunate and loved,
'Thank you, Lord, for you I am,
whenever I am submerged
you will put me upright,
even if I need to swim,
I will still walk in the light!'
