Christian Novel Review

Having always been an avid reader, since becoming a Christian I have found a wealth of reading material in Christian bookshops and in various second hand bookshops. I have found that in Christian novels one often finds truths that help in one’s Christian walk. I enjoy reading about how the various characters deal with life, and I also find I am the richer for reading a really good Christian novel. Certain authors, through their books, give you a real insight into their joys and struggles, which I find very interesting. The books which I am going to review are those which I have really enjoyed, and have read at least twice – some books, for example the “Mark of the Lion “ series by Francine Rivers, I have read at least five times each. The first books that I am going to talk about are the latest two novels by Francine Rivers,

DANGEROUS ILLUSIONS by IRENE HANNON

DANGEROUS ILLUSIONS by IRENE HANNON is not only a very exciting thriller, but it is also filled with biblical truth.
Trish Bailey has been through a lot with losing her father and husband in a car accident, which eventually led to her injured mother having a stroke. She is living with her mother, looking after her, when her mother dies due to an overdose of her medication. Trish is pretty sure she did not make a mistake with her mother's pills, but she seems to have been doing a lot of strange things lately and feels guilty.
Trish's parents were well off and believed the Scripture "from those to whom much is given, much is expected" and they started a foundation, giving to charities. Matt Parker has been their accountant for about a year and Trish's mother is really fond of him, and pushes him and Trish together shamelessly. He and Trish go out together a couple of times, but Trish is not interested, although Matt is keen.
Whilst there is no chemistry between the two of them it is a very different story when detective Colin Flynn comes on the scene!
With all that has gone on in her life Trish has never lost her faith, although Colin finds it hard to believe in a loving Heavenly Father with his unfortunate childhood. Craig Elliot is altogether another matter! We see evil personified in him and also in the Russian Mafia.
Both Trish and Colin have struggled with loneliness - now that her mother is dead she feels really alone and Colin hopes she will see him as someone she can rely on. His childhood friends, Rick and Kristen, are his only "family".
Matt is very keen to become a trustee for the foundation, and, although he came highly recommended by their pastor, who is a trustee, Trish is not sure about him and insists on signing all the cheques herself.
This is a really good read - I couldn't put it down - and I can really recommend it.
