Book Description

A Man Without a Past Searches for His Lost Identity

What would you do if you lost all memory of who or where you are? Gilbert Morris, the beloved creator of the HOUSE OF WINSLOW, proves just how versatile and talented a writer he is by turning to a contemporary setting and answering these questions in this meticulously crafted and suspenseful thriller. A page-turner with heart, Through a Glass Darkly, not only keeps you reading but holds a powerful message of the indelible image of God on the soul of man.

In the novel, a man wakes to unfamiliar walls, unfamiliar faces, and no memory of who he is or how he has come to be in this place. Fleeting images race through his mind but he doesn't know whether they hold the secrets of his past, his present, or his future. An unlikely group of people gather around him trying to help him back into his life, but it is a woman who touches his heart and emotions in a powerful way. Can he trust that she is part of his unknown past or does she have other designs.

Marshalling friend and foe alike to piece together his life, the man struggles through until a shattering discovery threatens to derail his quest. It is all he can do to keep moving to an understanding of who he is and also of something much bigger which continues to compel him forward.

1.0 out of 5 stars Give Me A Break!, Feb 28 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Through a Glass Darkly (Paperback)
I could handle (barely) the first two-thirds of the book with him being a Don Juan but seriously, who does this character think he is? John Wayne or Clint Eastwood? What with all the fights he gets into - a barroom brawl and a street fight, to name a few. And wouldn't you know it, he even wins them all!

By the time this narrative is almost through, he undergoes 3 identities. Does he really know who he is when the story is through? I couldn't wait to get to the end of this book - to finish it!

1.0 out of 5 stars It's not totally impossible to imagine a worse novel, July 14 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Through a Glass Darkly (Paperback)
This is my first (and last) Gilbert Morris read. I never would have guessed that this author had so many previous publications, and I find the other reviews here totally incongruous with my perception.

On the up side... The book had an okay story, and it was a fast read, primarily because of an unusually large type face. I almost rated this two stars because I could imagine worse, but I've given two stars to an item here and there that I thought were somewhat better.

On the down side... No suspense; No medical information to justify the portrayal and basis of the amnesia of the story protagonist; Hugely stilted colloquial jargon. Most disappointing were the extremely heavy-handed Christian story elements and metaphors. Apparently the author is a former pastor and drawing from his expertise, but he did it with no grace and at the expense of every other requirement in a well-constructed and well-written story.

4.0 out of 5 stars Engrossing and fast-moving, May 18 2000
By 
This review is from: Through a Glass Darkly (Paperback)
This clever story of an amnesia victim searching for his identity is full of twists and surprises. I really devoured the book, practically frantic to see what would happen next. The characterization is well done, as is the plot line. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was the ending. I felt the author failed to wrap it up in a satisfying way. I can't say more without giving away the ending. I'm not at all saying that the ending was disappointing; just that it could have all been tied up a little better with all the characters.
