This book has stirred a great deal of interest, both positive and negative. As a literary work, I don't think it compares to The Pilgrim's Progress, as some have said. It did challenge me spiritually and caused me to draw closer to God. Dealing with the question, Where is God? in the midst of tragedy, it presents the path to healing in a beautiful way. It made me think deeply about my false perceptions of God. It didn't revolutionize my life or change my course in a dramatic way. I questioned some of the theological concepts it conveys, but I took into account it is a work of fiction. In the end, I couldn't see what all the fuss was about. My conclusion: it's a good book, worth reading.

Ted Dekker brings the fantasy genre Circle Series (Black, Red, and White) to a complete, full circle with the summation of Green. It's called "the beginning" of the story, because it's a great starting place for readers who have not yet ventured into the world of Thomas Hunter and his two alternate but interdependent realities. Green is also named "the end," not because it brings this saga of Christianity's redemptive history to a close, but rather, into a seamless eternal loop.

Forgotten God complements the message of Francis Chan's debut book Crazy Love. In this teaching, believers are passionately invited to move beyond an external, shallow awareness of the Holy Spirit and dive deep into understanding the "Promised Gift" of the living God. By "unwrapping" the greatest gift God left to his followers—the life-changing, empowering, helping, counseling, living Holy Spirit—Christians will experience a breakthrough into living as true and influential witnesses of Christ in this world.

In Love and Respect, Eggerichs lets couples in on the secret to meeting each other's deepest needs by overcoming the frustrations that come from not understanding their partner. First, he explains the basic needs of men and women when it comes to a loving relationship. They, of course, are quite different: the woman's greatest need is love, the man's is respect. When a woman does not feel loved, it's difficult to show respect for her husband. When a man does not feel respected, it's difficult to show love to his wife. Based on Ephesians 5:33, this book can help couples learn to love unconditionally and experience the mutually fulfilling marriage that God designed.

Many years ago I picked up the Mark of the Lion series by Francine Rivers, a set of historical fiction books based on an obscure Bible character. Instantly, Rivers became a favorite author of mine and I've read many of her books, including Redeeming Love. This work of fiction has to be one of the most skillful and powerful depictions of our Savior's incredible love, retold through the Bible story of Hosea and Gomer. It's a romance you won't be able to put down about a lover you won't be able to forget. His name is Savior, Redeemer. If you have not yet met him, this book will change your life forever.
