READ THIS BEFORE READING!!!! THIS BOOK IS NOT FOR CHILDREN OR THOSE WHO ARE OBLIVIOUS TO SATANIC RITUALS!!!!
I was not spiritually ready for this book. Some of the scenes are very... unguarded. One wife was trying to get her husband to have sex with her and he wouldn't so she got mad. One poor girl's father is a Satanist who rapes her all the time (though so far, there are no scenes with that) and there's a Satanic ceremony that really disturbed me. The poor girl got drugged, stripped, and laid on an altar.Then Satanic priests drank goat's blood mixed with their's and everyone striped and sat around like it was a party. Don't get me wrong, this book is an awesome view on spiritual warfare that will really make you think about your Christian life or lack thereof; however, I would not recommend this for the faint of heart. I will continue reading this book when I am ready for that stuff, but as of now, I can't.
This is my second time reading the book and I actually finished it (mostly). It wasn’t that bad this time, but it was still a bit much. Many philosophy books do seem a bit convoluted, so I probably shouldn’t bash this book too much. Still, I doubt I’d ever read this book again unless it was for another class.
I'm used to Dekker's work, so I had an idea of what the plot was about, but I still found myself just as clueless as the characters. It was a good read, there were some parts that seemed to drag a bit, but it was a necessary drag, if that makes sense. It's not my favorite book by either Dekker or Peretti, but it's not the worst book I've ever read. Either way, I'm glad I own a copy, and I'll probably lend it out to friends and family.
I have read this book before, and I was very happy to find it again. Killing Sarai is the first book I've ever read that featured an assassin as a main character. Perhaps that is why it holds a special place for me.
I remember reading it the first time I loved it and would've given it five stars instantly, but rereading it has allowed me to notice a few little flaws. Overall, this series is still one of my favorites. I like how the writer showed a bit of what happens emotionally to victims of sex trafficking and how difficult it can be to adjust to a “normal” life and move on. I didn't find it too unrealistic and I can understand the confusing roller coaster of Sarai's emotions. I won't spoil the rest of the series too much, but I will say that there will be more portraits of abuse victims later on that show the opposite version of Sarai.
This book is fun for all ages! There was one part where the main character cursed (he said h***), but other than that it's 100% family friendly.
All three books had a bit of mystery thrown in with some action and enough content to make it realistic. I could barely put it down and I'm in my early 20's!
I'd recommend this to anyone who likes superheroes, or gifted people. You can't go wrong here!
