I have to admit I
read Rachelle Dekker’s first book, The
Choosing, because I was quite curious about her storytelling in light of her
growing up as Ted Dekker’s daughter. However, it is her skill as a storyteller
that brought me to read The Calling
and The Returning. Rachelle
definitely does not need to ride on her father’s coattails; she is an author
with an eloquent voice of her own.
The Returning is the third novel in
Rachelle Dekker’s Seer series, and it
leaves her reader longing for more, not because the tale is lacking, but
because the reader will want to follow the characters and their future
generations. The Seer series is a tale of forgetting and remembering, remembering
who one is in the Father. It is a tale of letting go, surrendering, in order to
gain that which is of the greatest value. It is a tale of great power, power
that comes only with being filled with the Spirit of the Father, a Spirit we
know comes through the Son. It reminds us that Light can always overcome
darkness; it is never too late.
The Returning is best read within the
proper sequence of the Seer series.
The story’s impact would likely be minimized as a stand-alone read. I would encourage
you to take this journey. You will find it time well spent.
