Several reviewers praise the author's work, with one declaring "Fingers displays the cardinal events of Biblical history with decisive language and in dramatic vividness. Events are made to march across the stage of history as characters in a drama." Another writes, "You have in our opinion done a splendid job with a view to possible filming. If this could be put on in technicolor it would be most attractive." Rev. Reuben Deaver DeWeese (1866-1942) retired from his pastorate in San Antonio, Texas and moved to Anson, Texas where he continued to study and write, this book being published in Anson the year he died. 77 pages with an Introduction by Millard Jenkins and a Preface by the author..
