THE PRIEST'S GRAVEYARD

NAME: THE PRIEST'S GRAVEYARD

AUTHOR: TED DEKKER

Two abandoned souls are on the hunt for one powerful man. Soon, their paths will cross and lead to one twisted fate bound by a perilous love. Danny Hansen is a Bosnian immigrant who came to America with hopes of escaping haunted memories of a tragic war that took his other's life. Now he's a priest incensed by the powerful among us who manipulate the law for their own gain, uncaring of the shattered lives they leave behind. It is his duty to show them the error of their ways, even if he must put them in the grave. Renee Gilmore is the frail and helpless victim of one such powerful man. Having escaped his clutches, she now lives only to satisfy justice by destroying him, regardless of whom she must become in that pursuit. But when Danny and Renee's paths become inexorably entangled things go very, very badly and neither of them may make it out of this hunt alive.

~ The end of this book made the wait worth it. At some point I was getting really annoyed cos it's like page 250 and I still didn't know where it was going. I resisted the temptation to flip to the end and just get it over with, lol. 

My theory for reading any Ted Dekker book is, Patience and you have to know to understand. If you don't have an understanding of God's Grace, this author's book may just be a good thriller to you.

I liked Renee and how her character portrays how frail we are as human beings, I saw Danny as Jesus and though he needed change in himself he understood the love of God. It was simply a comparison between 'the law' and 'Grace'.

Spoiler: It was a bit too violent for my taste though. Them just the kill people anyhow.... ha

LOVE AND GRACE HAD FOUND US FINALLY ~ pg 355

Just another good book I read this year.

31st Chain,
Peace...

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

I saw a review for his book here. Na so my antenna take go up, I begin fin de book.

This was such a beautiful story... for me weh done read plenty oyibo books but never set foot for dia place, its was fresh air (lol). I read it in one day (it's that good).

It was perfect from start to finish and had realistic characters you could relate with. The suspense, romance, tension and rejoicing all flowed together. For a book published in 2006, I'm wondering were it has been. 

I placed an order on the author's website but ended up buying an e-copy from her directly. This is not a review on my part per say but just an appreciation of a wonderful work of art.

Y'all should read it.

Book Review - Saving Grace

I decided to do a little bit of book reviewing and recommendation. Only books I like and I'm really excited about though. Will definitely read lots more and never get to review them. 

Saving Grace-2005

As the only daughter of a successful businesswoman, 

Grace has grown up with nothing but the best. 

Through a chance encounter, she meets Mike, 

a successful design artist who introduces her to a relationship 

very different from her usual one-night-stands and affairs with married men. 

I enjoyed reading this book and for me to say 'I like a book', it has to have a great ending (I'm big on *endings*). And I was happy with the way Saving Grace ended. I liked the way the Hero and Heroin connected and complimented each other, I liked Michael for his job, interests and the fact that he was a gadget person. Also while reading this book, I couldn't but think that the author was describing herself, she came through alot in this novel. 

The book had a lot of reality in it, I never rolled my eyes once going, "get real please", you know, some books after you're done reading, you wonder if the people really existed on planet earth. More than half way through the book, I went to read the summary on the back cover only to discover that all the hyp behind was inconsistent with the story within and she was just getting into the summary behind at this point in the book (just wondering why). Sha, in the end it was a goodread and I recommend it for you'll.
