As a Christian, I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about this book*, which is probably why it’s taken me so long to get to.
However, I am SO glad I finally gave it a chance. I am far from a Bible scholar, which makes me excited to dive into it to see how closely the author’s stories that I recognize stay true to scripture.
*I won’t deny it’s odd that I love to read thrillers, yet feel very uncomfortable when it comes to possible blasphemy. Don’t come for me. I know.
