Green: The Circle Book Zero, The Beginning and the End by Ted Dekker - A Brief Comment

      Green is both the first and last book of Ted Dekker's Circle series. The other books in sequence are Black, Red and White. I read Green as book four and my husband read it as book one as we read it aloud together. As we read through the book I thought I preferred reading it as book four, but after reading the final chapter I decided that it would be preferable to read it as book one. Either way, it is a read filled with adventure, heartache, and the search for truth. I highly recommend this book for fantasy, sci-first, and dystopian fans.

Rescue Me by Susan May Warren - A Book Review

     I enjoyed this adventure packed story set in the Glacier National Park. Susan May Warren’s skill at creating mental images that engage all of one’s senses places her readers squarely in the thick of things as grizzlies attack, people and vehicles hang precariously on narrow mountain ledges, and swimmers and non-swimmers are swept along a freezing, rushing, boulder filled river. Rescue Me has no shortage of heroes who are ready and prepared to come to the rescue, members of the PEAK Search and Rescue Team. Of course, there are times when they themselves are the ones in need of being rescued by One much greater than they.

     Love misunderstood would perhaps be the best description of this tale, the love between parent and child, and the love between a man and a woman. We each see life and love through different lenses, lenses that sometimes cloud our understanding of another’s view. It is the love of God that brings clarity.

     Rescue Me is the second book in the Montana Rescue series; unfortunately, I had not read the first, but this posed no problem with my understanding and enjoying this book. I am looking forward to reading both the previous and subsequent books in this series. I recommend this book to those who like high adventure and/or romantic fiction. It’s a good read for a cold day indoors or a warm day on the beach.
