Very interesting. I wonder how necessary it will be to have read both of the new books?

In any event, I'm going to watch this one.

Ted Dekker is my favorite Author, his books are awesome!

The two new ones starting the "lost books" series are great especially if you liked Black, Red, and White, you will want to tread those to get a full understanding of the story. I'd recommend reading Showdown, Saint and Skin as well.

I really love how a whole bunch of his books all tie in to each other. It's like a big mystery you're trying to figure out that involves all the books.

Anyways I signed up for this contest too, and when I did I remmebered this forum (I came here awhile back when I was playing some ARG) and thought I'd come see if anyone saw this contest come up. =)

the way I understand a lot of that quality reilgious fiction literarture (I don't really read much at all, let alone from that genre, so I'm just going on reviews and comments I've seen =) is that many authors works themselves rival those in thesecular market - content-wise, they can be pretty extreme, but the main thing is there's usually an underlying theme or parallel coming from the religious background; but one could read it and not necessarily get that. On the contrary, I think people find the to be more free or open about religious aspects of life in secula literature (you generally don't see direct reference to christian themes (neutral, at least) outside, say, catholic church or mass and whatnot).
So it is very possible to find very quality fiction in the religious section, without being either preached at or finding that the literary quality is pure cheese Razz

AFAIK, Dekker's books are in that (the former) category.
I've got to finish reading Black soon... wheredoes the time go? Razz
