"Not since Sir Walter Scott cast his spell over us with 'Ivanhoe,' 'Count Robert of Paris,' and 'Quentin Durward' have we been so completely captivated by a story as by 'God Wills It!' It grips the attention of the reader in the first chapter and holds it till the last....It is a story of strenuous life, the spirit of which might well be applied in some of our modern crusades. While true to life in its local coloring, it is sweet and pure, and leaves no after-taste of bitterness. The author's first book, 'A Friend of Caesar,' revealed his power, and 'God Wills It' confirms and deepens the impression made." -Christian Endeavor World "'God Wills It' is unquestionably one of the strongest of the season's romances. In merit it is far above the generality of historical novels." -Buffalo Courier "The picturesqueness of Mr. Davis's characters and the romantic quality of his narrative will bring him many readers who may well be grateful for the historic vista he has opened to them through the medium of fiction." -Boston Transcript "A tumultuous romance which exercises something of the same fascination as that wielded by Scott's 'Ivanhoe' and 'Talisman.' The plot revels in incidents of a thrilling character; adventure after adventure meets the young Norman, Richard Longsword, who feats in the lists in Sicily, in feudal quarrel for his ancestral estates in France, and later as a soldier of the Cross in Palestine during the first Crusade, are narrated with vigor and dash. Mr. Davis will be remembered as the author of a somewhat remarkable story of classical days called 'A Friend of Caesar.' The present book shows evidence of very minute study of the history of the times of the Crusades, and especially of the manners and usages of chivalry." -The Outlook "One of the very few as it is one of the very best pieces of fiction founded on the first Crusade." -Record-Herald "The most unique and in every way the most striking romantic production of the season." -Advertiser "Thrilling and delightful." -The Congregationalist "A picturesque and virile story of the first Christian movement to Jerusalem, and is told with a rugged simplicity befitting the subject. Oriental backgrounds and Eastern mysticism and beauty to Western strength and action, and the tale is spirited, adventurous, and crowded with incident." - Sunday School Times
