When you think the story might be at a good place to stop something happens and curiosity drives you forward. It is a fast pace book that keeps you turning page after page. It also teaches you that every decision you make affects more than just you and causes a ripple effect in time. It is filled with symbolism that tells of good and evil, walking in the light, walking in the darkness, receiving salvation, learning to deal with the hurts in life, trusting when you don’t want to, and surviving the unthinkable in one way or another. It is three novels, which involves two worlds, telling one story. Just buy the trilogy and alleviate your frustration from the beginning. Now you have to go out and buy the other two books. However, not only is it cheaper to buy the trilogy, but it will frustrate you madly when you get to the end of the first book and can’t continue the story. This is three books in one, “ Black,” “ Red,” and “ White.” Each book is available by itself. What book was it? None other than “ The Circle Trilogy” by Ted Dekker. That wonderful day when I found a novel that captured me and wrapped me up in its pages until I couldn’t stay awake any longer. Since then finding a good Christian novel to keep my attention has been hard to come by. I did find several books that held my interest such as This Present Darkness by Frank Peretti, Left Behind by Tim LaHaye and Soul Tracker by Bill Myers. As an adult I hoped to find a Christian writer who could write as well as King did. The book scared me more than his movies ever could hope to. That was the one and only book I ever read by him. It kept my attention all the way through. I once read a novel by Stephen King when I was a child. Every once in a while I’ll pick one of them and read a few more pages. I literally have over 20 books which I have started years ago that still have bookmarks in them. It was hard to find something that held my attention.

When I was younger I read fiction all the time, but as I got older I stuck more to non-fiction.
