Synopsis from B&N: Marci is waiting for a miracle. She longs to possess physical beauty that will save her from being a teenage outcast. The miracle that she receives comes in the form of an old woman's story. It leaves her skin untouched, except for tears of joy.nNot my favorite of Dekker�s books. So while I checked out the other three books in the �series�, I will be waiting some to read them. Perhaps I�m just not in a Dekker mood right now.nThere are four books in the series. But in the
Wonderfully written
This is a HORROR story with a Christian bent. It shows the horrors that can be perpetrated by a crazy man with the power of life and death -- and pain. A peaceful Bosnian village managing to avoid most of the atrocities of World War II is discovered by a villainous Serbian commander who orders the priest and the women and children to renounce their Christian faith on pain of death. And he means pain! And death!Sometimes I think Ted Dekker gets a little too much pleasure in writing torture
Hm. This book is a whirlwind. It's also my first Ted Dekker book, which was an interesting experience. His storytelling is very different from most. He throws you into the story and doesn't look back. I think I like that.But the book. Wow. So emotional and convicting. So beautiful. I don't think it's a new favorite, but... it is really good.UPDATE: After thinking about this book more, I have even more questions. Is everyone beautiful? In whose eyes? What about Karadzic? What are his beliefs on
WOW! WOW! WOW! After reading the last page, I closed the book and just sat silently for some time. This book is one to own and re-read over and over.
I was reminded why I like Ted Dekker with this book. I haven't read Dekker in a couple years. It also reminded me why I don't like Dekker.This book is heavy, but very moving. Very real and very powerful. Especially considering how short it is. I read the whole thing in a few hours. I would recommend this to anyone.It is heavy, though. And a little uncomfortable. Just like all of Dekker's books. That's pretty much the only thing I didn't like about it.
