Take Back The Morning by Evan Howard

 
About the Book:  

A corrupt stockbroker on the run . . .

An economy in turmoil . . .

And a mysterious pendant sought by the richest woman on Wall Street.

Terrified of going to jail, Justin Connelly faked his death and fled the seductions of Manhattan for the quiet corners of Providence, Rhode Island. His only keepsake was an antique pendant engraved with strange markings.

But then a sailing accident almost kills him for real. In his near-death state Justin is taken to the depths of Hell itself, where he sees things that drive him out of hiding and back to his abandoned wife in New York. But Tori’s moved on, and his old enemies on Wall Street are not happy to see him. They want the pendant, which in the wrong hands could destroy humanity—and Justin’s former boss definitely has the wrong hands. The only way out is to swallow his pride, and his doubt, and work with Tori and her new fiancé to expose the truth.

As world economies—and his own soul—hang in the balance, Justin must decide how much he is willing to sacrifice.

A spiritual thriller critically relevant to the crises of our time.

My Review: 

I was so disappointed this book was listed as Christian. It is not!! This pendant that is talked about is used by the main character, Justin, to give him words to speak. The Lord would never have His children touch some item (in this case a pendant) that would give them power to speak the "right" words. Additionally these "right" words Justin supposedly speaks are in most cases not Biblical at all.

For example, "The Bible says we've been created in the image of God, male and female. We feel fully alive when we bond with our opposite gender within. That's the way to discover our own genius and ability to love." Huh??

Also another passage says, "Jesus of Nazareth, more than anyone who has ever lived, embraced both the masculine and the feminine in himself. He had an extraordinary ability to relate to men and women. He broke down barriers between them." Embraced both the masculine and the feminine in himself?? What is this book talking about?? This book is definitely pushing some New Agey spiritualist mumbo jumbo but it is definitely not Christian. Would not recommend at all!!

Thank you to Wilcox Publishing Group and NetGalley for allowing me to preview this book--the opinions which I wrote are my own.
