I can't believe I've waited this long to read this novel. Couldn't put it down. If you enjoy Kathy Tyers, you'll like this one. A few descriptions are a tad bit sensual, but they are written with taste and make sense within the context of the story. I do agree with some of the reviewers that at times the allegory was a little obvious, but hey... so was the allegory in The Chronicles of Narnia and I loved that. It really does make you look at your Christian walk in a new light.

James Rubart I love this book. One of the very few I've read twice. Even though it won the Christy, it didn't get the sales it deserved.


C.J. Darlington I forgot it won the Christy. I'm wondering if perhaps Marcher Lord Press would consider re-releasing it as they've been picking up some of the really good CBA sci-fi/fantasy novels of late. I sent Jeff an e-mail. We'll see!


James Rubart That is a GREAT thought! I know it's out of print, but I still recommend it to people often, would be nice for readers to be able to get a hold of it easier.


Charity I remember reading that a while back... The whole thing put me in this atmosphere I couldn't shake off, I think I even dreamed about it. I personally thought it was well-written
