Ted Dekker is known for novels that combine adrenaline-laced stories with unexpected plot twists, unforgettable characters, and incredible confrontations between good and evil. Ted lives in Austin with his wife LeeAnn and their four children.
I enjoyed the series a lot, except that in fighting "Satan" they keep saying over and over not to resist him, but rather that love will conquer all. Which the Bible specifically states to resists Satan... Otherwise a good, interesting series
This was a great one for my preteens and I to read together. It kept us engaged and empathetic to the main character! The last book lost us a bit towards the end.. got a bit corny but over all a good read with a great moral lesson and reminders of our Christian beliefs.
Reading this with my 11-year-old granddaughter very good read and has a nice fantasy element with some Christian rules intertwined. Great characters and moral learning situations.
