Ezekiel’s Eyes by John Pease is a fast paced, detailed novel of good vs evil. Ezekiel has a gift, he can see evil and he can destroy that evil. Not only does he have this ability to destroy evil (demons) he can harm good (angels). Nestor, a powerful demon is determined to find Ezekiel and take over his power and soul. Joshua is an angel who mentors Ezekiel, preparing him for the battle. This is a dark, dramatic, deep book. I recommend it to those you are looking for an intense read with a biblical theme. ( )

This was definitely an interesting read, and would be a great thriller for Christians. (If you're not Christian, you may not appreciate the underlying themes as well). I loved the imagery used, and I thought it really brought the story to life. The way the evil is portrayed will absolutely give you chills, and at times get your heart racing. I liked Ezekiel as a character, and loved following his journey and trials throughout the book. Overall, a great Christian thriller. ( )

New York author John Pease made his literary debut with a children’s book – A FEW THINGS ABOUT HIPPOS – and now brings his spiritual beliefs and commitment to support mankind’s belief in the power of God, presenting a novel that paces before the reader the impact of faith and prayer in living a meaningful life.

Creating a unique and fascinating primary character in Ezekiel allows Pease to enlist attention and support and credulity to the spiritual message of this novel. He introduces him in a surprising scene: ‘Ezekiel stood in the Folsom California State Prison courtyard, with a bloody knife in his hand, looking over the bodies of two men. One of the men was in pretty awful shape; the other would pull through with care. He could hear the sirens sound as the prison guards quickly made their way toward him. Strangely enough, his mind wandered to his past…and everything that had happened to him leading up to this moment. As long as Ezekiel could remember, he had always been a little bit faster, stronger, and smarter than the next guy….As far as Ezekiel could remember, he was four years old when he began noticing things – scary things. He could see evil, or demons…’ And that trait paces a significant character before us!

Pease serves as a narrator, credibly telling this strange story, and unwinds the plot as follows; ‘A young man, Ezekiel, whose faith in God is unwavering and ever steady, finds himself in the middle of the age-old fight of good against evil. Ezekiel was born with the ability to see evil in all of its forms. But not only that, he was gifted the ability to kill it as well. On the flipside, he can also harm an angel, which puts him in a unique position, and he now finds himself sought out by both sides. The demons want him because if they were to possess him, they could use him to harm angels before the appointed time, which is something none of them can do at present. The angels want him because he represents a threat, which they cannot allow to be exploited to shift the balance of power that has been preordained. An angel, Joshua, recognized all the good and potential within Ezekiel and chose to mentor and train him to stay hidden from Evil's sight, while helping him to develop his gifts. Joshua prepared Ezekiel for the impending battle he would soon have to face with the dark one, Nestor, a powerful demon who devours a person's physical body and their immortal soul. He seeks gifted ones like Ezekiel and adds their power to his own. Souls like Ezekiel's are very rare and referred to as keys. There are twelve of them in total that remain, and Nestor is intent on finding all of them. He would try to possess who he could, and then use them to draw the other keys to him-killing any that resist, taking their power and souls, until there were no more. Joshua believes that Ezekiel not only has the power to resist Nestor, but to destroy him as well, as the time of Tribulation draws near.’

The Tribulation is that Christian belief in the seven-year nightmare of the end of time when Christ will rapture believers. By placing this Biblical prediction in the form of a sci-fi type of tale, Pease brings his message home. The book is both entertaining and inspiring, introducing a significant new author of promise.
