I've told you about Lahaye and Jenkins already and how awesome they are. Now I'm going to tell you about someone else. Ted Dekker. I don't know how many books he's written but I have two of his and if you saw them you would know how much I adore these books. I've read them so many times and taken them so many places that their pages are dog-eared, smudged, and the covers are fading. The books are so good. Both stories are of unconditional love. When I say unconditional I mean unconditional. In When Heaven Weeps a man, Janjic Jovic, is given the love of God to love Helen who happens to be a junkie off the street. In the book Jan is a famous writer because of his book about the war he was in and witnessed the acts of love for Christ. He in turn has to deal with the world's view of him and Helen as well as Helen's abusive boyfriend. In the other book, Heaven's Wager, Helen comes back only she is much older now and Jan is dead. Kent, her son-in-law, has no faith whatsoever in a god. Helen knows a wager has been cast in heaven over Kent's soul. She has become part of a game and Kent goes off the deep end when he loses pretty much everything. He must deal with the loss of family, backstabbing at work, and Helen who seems to always be in the way. These books are awesome and should be read in order starting with When Heaven Weeps. You won't be sorry!
