I wrote the Solid Rock Survivor Series as stand-alone books that can be read in any order. Each one introduces main characters that suddenly find themselves in more trouble than they imagined possible. What links the books in the series together is that the protagonists have to face their troubles while simultaneously negotiating the tricks, traps, and complexities of Solid Rock Church.
Kindred Spirits
Inside every ordinary person is a hero waiting to be forced out..
More than anything, Rosalyn Pitts longs to find meaning and purpose in her life. A calling. But with so much of her time poured into a soul-crushing job, it’s hard to find energy to pursue lofty ideals.
After an especially traumatic day at work, Roz seeks counsel from those closest to her. But no one seems able to help. Not even her pastor, who seems to have a troublesome agenda of his own.
Her quest takes her to the home of an elderly war vet with a strange secret and a malevolent house guest. Aghast at the old man’s predicament, Roz sees her chance to do something that really matters. It will also make her question much of what she believes — assuming the scary boarder doesn’t kill her first.
Kindred Spirits is a suspenseful follow-up to Fighting Back, and it packs a punch. If you like Christian fiction that’s not too sweet, you’ll love this gripping, multi-layered tale of peril, latent courage, and sobering revelations.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “This book has everything! I couldn’t put it down. The story was scary and suspenseful, and also included many thought-provoking themes.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “A spellbinding tale of love, hate, good church, bad church, family, spirits, and murder.”.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “John Harrison has hit it entirely out of the park with Kindred Spirits.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Not your mother’s Christian fiction. The journey is believable, the plot is tight, and the insights on church life are spot-on..”
Fighting Back
You’ve never heard the prodigal son parable told like this.
Eddie Caruthers didn’t ask for a lot in life: a fast car, some good tunes, and a certain pretty girl to share them with. But when he comes to the aid of a friend being harassed on the street, it leads to a fight, and his life gets infinitely more complicated. Almost everyone he knows condemns his actions. His church shuns him. Friends and family are ripped away. Even worse, the man he confronted is bent on revenge, and innocent people become collateral damage in an undeclared war. With a shrinking list of allies and a growing roster of enemies, Eddie takes off for parts unknown. When he finally returns, he must both outwit his foes, and face a colossal evil hiding in plain sight in the suburbs. Woven throughout the story is a thoughtful exploration of the morality of violence, the workings of temptation, and the sometimes surprising road to redemption.
And here’s what a couple of our early reviewers had to say about it:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This compelling and important novel confronts real issues many tiptoe around. Nonconformists and outcasts everywhere will relate to Eddie Caruthers’s struggles to find himself and his place in a world that seems stacked against him. John Harrison shows us that flawed heroes can be a powerful force for good—and deserving of love, acceptance, and forgiveness.
— Ruth Thomas-Suh, Producer and Director of the award-winning documentary film Reject: The Science of Belonging
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ John F. Harrison’s debut novel Fighting Back is a must-read!
— Elaine Stock, Author of Always With You
