The
Convert takes an entirely different angle and addresses a
person's faith versus human prejudice and the role it might
play if there is every close contact with races who differ
from us in very obvious ways.

Susanne Marie
Knight, is an interesting tale about an indigenous alien who wishes to marry a
human colonist to his planet. In this tale a priest must decide if he has the
right under God to marry this alien to a human. He goes through a lot of
psychological struggle, but when he hears the story from the alien, he begins to
look at the situation with his heart. Also included in this story is how abusive
we can be, simply because we don't understand, or do not seem to have the
capacity to understand things that do not fit into our little spectrum of
understanding. A wonderful story that is beautifully told.--Christian Science Review.

FIVE
STARS! Quantum physicists, amazed by the symmetry of the universe, have said
that the more they delve into the quantum mechanics, the more convinced they
become of an existence of a higher power. Karina and Robert Fabian merge science
and faith in an anthology of fifteen Christian science fiction stories that
ignites our imaginations... In Susanne Marie Knight's 'The Convert,' Father Wren
has an equally awesome decision to make. He's the only priest on the Ophiuchi 4
colony and must decide the marital fate of Chloe and Ping. She's a deaf human;
he's a telepathic tree.--Scribes

Highly
Recommended! ... the stories engrossed me from the beginning. Though
SF/religious in nature (as stated by the publisher), each story managed to be
more than that. They cover the gamut of human experience--doubt, faith,
adventure, and conflict. I found the juxtaposition of futuristic story elements
and inspirational elements compelling. Each aspect blends seamlessly into a
unique collection of stories. Regardless of your faith or reading preferences,
don't miss this collection of stories from FrancisIsidore Electronic Press,
including such authors as Leslie Brown, Peter Bell, Michael S. Poteet, Susanne
Marie Knight, Greg Beatty, and many others. It poses intelligent questions and
offers honest answers. This is a book designed to make you think, and it
achieves its goal.--Dog-eared

Leaps
of Faith contains
fourteen stories by twelve authors. The stories delve into different aspects
of space exploration, time travel, hard science, evangelism in space, robot
rights, and contact with extraterrestrial lifeforms. Though much of the work
deals with Christian (and often Catholic) concepts, belief and general faith
also drive many of the stories. Some of the stories are pure adventure.
Others are deep, philosophical works that struggle with science and belief.
And, still others are humorous looks at our human selves. "The
Convert" by Susanne Marie Knight and examines how far Christianity can
be extended to alien species.--Myshelf.

Leaps
of Faith
will undoubtedly go down as one of the best collections of Christian science

some incredible talent... This book will certain entertain and challenge the
reader. If you enjoy short stories, this is for you.--Yellow30 Sci Fi

The
book was a real delight to read, and the authors wrote their stories well. It
was easy to become immersed in each tale as they followed one common theme. I
give LEAPS OF FAITH two thumbs up!--Midwest

This
is a collection of stories from authors who explore many different aspects of
science and faith, and what that all means when science makes another discovery,
or when we reach out to alien races... I found the collection over-all thought
provoking and a good read. --Author's

5
STARS!! "Special Delivery" is a wonderful surprise. I started
reading this story, not really knowing what to expect, and was delighted with
the story Susanne Marie Knight brought to life. If you are at all familiar with
Roman mythology, "Special Delivery" will have an added level of
enjoyment as you meet the characters that change Ralph's life. The characters'
veiled references to mythology as well as Ralph's dry wit will have you smiling
at their levity and humor. Ralph has a self-deprecating sense of humor that
blends well with the first person telling of this story. Ms. Knight's writing
style and delivery ensures that readers are entertained and rewarded for taking
the time to read her work. "Special Delivery" is a short story that
delivers a quick, refreshing, and romantic twist that is sure to charm.--Fallen

Roses! "Special Delivery" is a short story and only spans a few minutes in
the life of Ralph [Dunmeyer]. The story is fast paced and the dialogue is great.
We get to see what Ralph is thinking and feeling but not the other characters in
the book, not even in the end. The Fates do have plans for everyone and they did
a little show and tell with Ralph. You might learn that you don't have to change
completely in order to find happiness and love. If you have a little time to
spare and want to learn a little about Greek and Roman mythology then pick up
"Special Delivery".--A

Fans
of the stories set in early nineteenth century England will find
this a comfortably familiar world. The setting is completely
perfect, from the wonderful home and dedication to needlework, to
the holiday plans, and even the focus on marriage. You will enjoy
Knight’s clever twist with descriptions – her snow-capped fir
trees “huddle” from the cold, and main character Deidre
expresses frustration by ‘savagely’ embroidering. Throughout,
the phrasing is subtle but delightful. Its hard to say more
without spoiling this one. Full of Christmas charm,
Susanne Marie Knight’s A Very Special Christmas Present,
would make a very nice present for some lucky romance fan on your
shopping list. I must admit my one wish is that it were longer! I
will certainly re-read.--Long & Short
