The Veritas Conflict by Shaunti Feldhahn



I just finished 'The Veritas Conflict' by Shaunti Feldhahn and I loved it. From the day I laied my eyes on that book I knew I was going to love it. Being a huge fan of Frank Peretti and Ted Dekker, the book looked like one I was going to love.

The plot follows Claire Rivers, an undergraduate of Harvard University who comes to an environment where being Christian is the same as being intolerant. With a Christian professor and his Teaching Assistant, Claire uncovers many secrets of the school that was founded on the foundations of Jesus Christ. The school that had the original motto "Veritas, Christo et Ecclesiae" means "Truth for Christ and the Church"

Although the book is a work of fiction, the reader is able to learn a lot about how Harvard University operates and also the relation between the spiritual and the physical. The spiritual warfare in the book is well explained, makes me remember Frank Peretti's 'Piercing The Darkness'. This is my first book by Shaunti but I am so going to buy her other books. She is an author that needs to be reckoned with.

Book Review: Adam by Ted Dekker



The Bible says that the Kingdom of God suffers violence and the violent takes it by force. It is funny how most Christians have forgotten that the devil is still very much at work, going about by a roaring lion seeking whom to devour. It is necessary for Christians to be more aware of spiritual warfare and that is what Ted Dekker does in this book.

The book is about an FBI agent, Daniel Clark who is investigating a series of killings by a guy named 'Eve' who's victims are women. Eve apparently kills Mr Clark but after Mr Clark is brought back to life again, he goes after Eve because this time Eve has Daniel's wife.

The book is am amazing book as Mr Dekker proved to his readers that he has done his homework. You could see he did his research on psychopath killings and the FBI and behavorial sciences. Thios shows he has advanced and is more groomed in his writing. Also, the suspense in the book is off the chain as he manages to keep you on the edge of your seat.

Also, he talks about the importance of spiritual warfare in the end and we as Christians should recognize the importance. i do not mince words when I say this is an amazing book. I give the book a 10 out of 10.

Please Go get your copy!
