My thoughts-

I have mixed feelings about this book.  This book says on the cover that it is a memoir, but there was so much about other people and their problems that I didn’t learn much about Neil T. Anderson.

One of my favorite parts of the book was, “The Believer’s Identity in Christ” on page 124.  It showed different Bible verses and a short synopsis of each.  They made bookmarks of this and it has sold very well.  I’m glad that so many people are learning their identity in Christ.

The section on “Paradigm Shifts” was interesting, because Anderson says that he has people pray for themselves, before he prays for them.  I think that was a brilliant idea, because it has them focus on themselves and God.

This book was very interesting, but as a memoir, I’m not sure.  And there was so much about other people.  You will need to read it yourself to see what you think.

My thoughts-

I have read this book twice and it gave me more to think about the second time.  I noticed more of the mystery and intrigue, especially that which surrounded Matthew.  I am very curious about him; he doesn’t eat, drink, or seem to sleep.  Emma is also an interesting character.  She becomes so dependent upon Matthew both before and after she was attacked.  All of the danger and the romantic drama made this first book in the series seem like the Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer.

Emma believes in Christ, but she doesn’t seem to take advantage of the comfort that Jesus could offer her.  She seems to be really focused on protecting her virtue from Matthew.  It seems normal to me, but still strange to be protecting her virtue so much as she is so dependent on him.

I thought this book was good and I am looking forward to the next one.  You will have to read the book yourself to see what you think.
