I was was given this book for an honest review.﻿RevelationsAuthor: Julie Lynn HayesPublisher: MuseItUp PublishingJulie Lynn Hayes is a wonderful gifted author who has written a piece of literature that opens thewhole new perspective in her story Revelations. The story presents a wonderful relationship thatreaches through time, and leaves this reader sincerely impressed with the genuine love of thecharacters.I have wanted to read this book since its release, but I felt  real ambivalence because of the strongreligious tone. I have issues with any religion that alienates our LGBT brothers and sisters, and itpains me greatly when any faith causes hatred to anyone about their sexuality. But this story is sobeautifully crafted in Ms. Hayes flowing prose that you quickly become invested in the story.Each character's point of view is eagerly awaited, and I would set my reader down frequently toseriously consider their thoughts and feelings about each and every chapter.The truth is that I fell in love with Judas, and I loved his brutally honest emotions about Joshua.There is never a doubt Judas's emotions at any time, and this is a truly an emotional read. I criedand laughed at Mary M's dealings with Judas because she is a woman who you can simply cometo respect and love as her concern for Joshua are true and seriously heart felt. Her opinions andrelationship with all the boys are for the best interest for them all, and never in an act ofselfishness.I absolutely loved this story, and it moved my heart and soul on so many levels. I will neverseriously look at "God" in the same way ever again, as this is a story of what humanity should beall about. Julie Lynn Hayes is on my radar now, and I will not be missing any of her future books. Ican truly say I loved this book more than I could imagine, and I truly hope more readers pick thisbook up and take a chance, for I can guarantee they will in for an experience of a lifetime.
