Save time; buy the whole series!
The opening book of a series is always pivotal, as it sets the tone for the rest. If I were an author, I donâÂÂt know that I would ever intentionally set out to write a series, unless I had a great plan for the other books. At this point, I donâÂÂt know where Robert Whitlow plans to take this series â but I intend to come along!
Alex is a female attorney in a small town, who likes classical music, traveling, and championing for justice. Rena is the wife of a rich man who is in a coma. When Alex agrees to represent Rena in a case to determine the fate of her husband, things get complicated. This book has a lot of interesting ethical, medical, and legal facets, but it also has a profoundly spiritual aspect as well. One of my favorite parts of the book is the side story about Ted Duncan, a music minister who prays by playing the piano. There is something so real about the way he connects with God through original compositions, and the fact that his faith is so honest makes it powerful.
I liked this book very much, and I canâÂÂt wait to read the next one in the series. This book ends with a cliff hanger, so if you donâÂÂt like waiting for resolution, you might just want to go ahead and buy books 1 & 2 at the same time to save yourself the wait.

The story was gripping, never boring. We appreciated the spiritual values presented and the power of God over the work of the evil one. Looking forward to #2!

I came to the last page of this book and actually got angry, as I felt it was a horrible way to end a book. I did not know this was a series. I felt sure there had to be a sequel - but no mention was made of one. It was only by coming back to the CBD website and reading customer reviews to see how other readers felt about the ending, that I learned there IS a sequel - and I am sure glad. Don't buy Life Support without buying Life Everlasting, or you'll be placing another book order real soon! And you'll be very frustrated until it arrives.

Robert Whitlow is becoming one of my favorite authors. I knew it was the beginning of a series when I turned that first page and still cried out that proverbial "NOOOO!" as I turned the last.
