Reception

C. Ben Ostrander reviewed Chariot of Fire in The Space Gamer No. 12.[1] Ostrander commented that "I can't spoil the ending, but I don't want you to buy this book unless you are curious about myths and religious snicker/snackery."[1]

Kirkus Reviews states "A painless Christian homiletic with some inventive Upper Form hilarity."[2]
