The Boy Who Fell from the Stars

At the beginning, I thought this might be too slow and a bit too dark for the boy. However, with the end of book one coming and a cliffhanger ending looming, he was eager to finish and start book two immediately. 

Ted Dekker readers who have obtained this book are likely familiar with the way he shares his faith through his story. It's not hidden, but it doesn't come across a preachy. This book talks about how the religious wars made all religious books illegal. So there are references sprinkled about as forbidden wisdom. 

I am a person of faith and I like reading Dekker's ideas illustrated with story. This first book appears to be paving a path for how Yeshua's (Jesus') love conquers fear. This first book sets up the story, so we shall have to wait to see where it goes.
