A novel by Ted Dekker(who co-wrote Blessed Child with Bill Bright), this book definitely appealed to my more intellectual side, while not going without a health dose of romantic interest…The strong theme of free will and pre-destination (though I am not sure if those terms are ever actually used) is tackled from a fresh new direction. It begins from the ‘devils-advocate’ pov and works toward the truth. An equally as prevalent theme is women’s rights or rather the lack of women’s rights in the Islamic faith. It is an extremely well-written, smart story with a twist of the East meets West. (8 out of 10)
