Summary: Right on the Money!
Comment: Several of my friends have read Ted Dekker's novels and strongly recommended I pick up a copy of one of his books. Any book. So I picked up Heaven's Wager. Starts a tad slow, but boy does it shine once you get into it. The patience required to work through the first 100 pages is worth the wait. What strikes me most is the spiritual message the begins rushing off the page in the latter half. I had noticed that one review broke ranks from a dozen other reviews here and questioned the books theology (although they failed to mention what bothered them.) What? Not unless you question the stories of the bible or noted works of fiction like Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers, which is another author I would highly recommend. What we have here is a modern day Job story with some facinating twists thrown in. Very compelling. I also found the character of Kent among the most interesting I've read in Christian Fiction. Not at all stereotypical. In fact, Dekker's characterizations are one of his strengths in my opinion. He's not afraid to break from the typical characters found in these sorts of books. More like a John Grisham or a Dean Koonts, actually. I have since read Blessed Child, another of his books. I hear they are making a movie of it. Wow, Can't wait for that! Good Stuff! I just bought a copy of When Heaven Weeps, another Dekker novel. Someone told me it's like Redeeming Love (My favorite all time novel) on steroids. We'll see.

Summary: An excellent war story over a man's soul
Comment: This was my first Ted Dekker book. Everyone kept telling me that I should read Dekker because he is a beautiful writer and his stories are compelling and thought-provoking. It seems they were right.
This book started with a bang and kept my attention to the very end. I did not feel it was a "page-turner" or a "gripping" novel. I have read much more suspenseful and captivating stories, which made me forget to go to sleep at night because I was so into the book. This book was not like that. But it is a heart-warming story about the fight over one man's soul.
I will definately be reading more of Dekker's work. I am a new fan. Keep 'em coming!!!

Summary: Great Story!
Comment: About a man who comes inches from having everything in life that can be immagined, only to have it all come crashing down upon him. Determined to have his million, he nearly gets it, before its ripped from his grasp. Yet even more, it's about an older woman who loves the world so much, she's determined to bring him to Jesus.
Step into the book of a lifetime on this one. This was my first book I've read by Ted Dekker, and even though it's one of his earlier books, I was incredily impressed with his style of writing. I admit it did seem slow at times, but proved to be very worthwhile upon the ending. Dekker combines his dry wit with suspense to create a very unique writing ability. "Blink" is next on my list of books to read.
