The Girl Behind The Red Rope - Book Review






Tedd Dekker & his daughter Rachelle have successfully woven together
a gripping Allegory of Light & Dark, Faith & Fear, Truth & Deception.
Not only does the story describe the revealing of the spiritual world,
but it also stirs the understanding of the reader & makes the spirit
world very 'real'.  I know that just by reading it, my perception of
the atmosphere around me has already changed.  It stirred me to tears
at times, & caught my breath at others.  The story immerses you & drags you in to the point you completely lose track of time while reading.

I finished it in just a couple of days, but may have to revisit it
again to soak up all of it.  There is much to glean from this thought-
provoking story.  You can tell that Tedd & Rachelle really poured them-
selves into the book.

To say it is gripping is an understatement.  It wasn't what I expected - it was better.  I don't think I will ever look on things quite the same way.

Book review: Finding Lady Enderly by Joanna Davidson Politano




Finding Lady Enderly was a surprising & delightful read!  I expected it
to be a twist on "My Fair Lady" & "Jane Eyre", & to a certain extent it
is.... but it really goes much deeper than that.  I was captured from the
first page with this riveting story & read it in just a few sittings.  There
is a lot to this tale, & the many twists draw you deeper & deeper into
the story.  The revelations keep coming & the big one near the end was
unexpected...but also not entirely unexpected, because it made perfect
sense, in a twisted, not-of-sound-mind sort of way.

I liked that there were scriptures & truths mentioned throughout the
book, & that God was often referred to as the Rescuer....for that is
one of His best traits!  (Savior of the world.)   I enjoyed the Easter
Egg hunts as well.  I found myself trying to figure out where the
secret messages were located before reading the answers in the book.  You know, just to see how my literary insight would measure up.  ;)

I liked the blend of Romance, Mystery, Suspense & how it all ties
together to reveal a deeper meaning & plan.  One of the main purposes
of the book is to encourage us to look deeper than just the outward
appearance - Because sometimes a person in rags can be much more
beautiful on the inside than someone who 'has it all together', so to speak.

I won't give spoilers, dear reader, as that would take away from the
surprise & delight that I hope you will find by reading it yourself!  I
did very much enjoy this story & highly recommend it to lovers of
English novels, Mysteries & clean Romances.

My only small complaint about this book is that the cover art implies
that the Heroin of the novel would have dark hair, when in reality she
has long blonde curls.  But this is a minor issue & does not detract from
the story.
