Some say the great mystery of how one can live in two worlds at once died with Thomas Hunter many years ago. Still others that the gateway to that greater reality was and is only the stuff of dreams.
They are wrong. In the small town of Eden, Utah, a blind girl named Rachelle Matthews is about to find out just how wrong.
When a procedure meant to restore Rachelle's sight goes awry, she begins to dream of another world so real that she wonders if Earth might only be a dream experienced when she falls asleep in that reality. Who is a simple blind girl to have such strange and fantastic dreams?
She's the prophesied one who must find and recover five ancient seals--in both worlds--before powerful enemies destroy her. If Rachelle succeeds in her quest, peace will reign. If she fails, both worlds will forever be locked in darkness.
So begins a two-volume saga of high stakes and a mind-bending quest to find an ancient path that will save humanity. The clock is ticking; the end rushes forward.
Ready? Set?
Dream.
My Review:
I am so incredibly sad as I love Ted Dekker's books (especially The Circle Series) and this book threw me for a loop. It took me some time to get through the story which is unusual for me, and most importantly for me it did not line up with the Bible. In fact, it was reminiscent of The Shack for me--another book that flies in the face of Biblical doctrine. Tayla's journal at the end sealed the deal for me when speaking of Scripture verses and how to (wrongly) interpret them. I wanted so much to like this book because Ted Dekker is one of my favorite authors, but I just can't. I would not recommend it.
I voluntarily received a complimentary copy from the publisher. All opinions and thoughts are my own.
