You know that moment in a movie or a novel when everything falls in place and you understand it all and everything clicks? That moment when you are made aware of the sweat on your palms and the flecks of fingernail you've bitten off. The crashing moment of realization. Well when that moment happened for me in The Priest's Graveyard it hit me like a freight train like I have never experienced before. Never has a novel wowed me like this one. Often it was hard to read the words and follow the plot in my head because my heart was pounding too loudly. This booked change me. 'Judge lest you be judged,' Dekker writes. Judgement. Morality. Duty. Purpose. Right or Wrong. It all pails in the face of love ' love undeserved and unconditional, Grace. Love is a force that absolves all wrong and renews your mind. Love conquers all. Dekker's words flow like sweet honey to my soul. This is a book you must read.

WOW!!! The Priests Graveyard has everything you want in a great suspense novel. This book will captivate you from the first few pages and lead you on a journey that ends in a twist!! Ted Dekker has created characters that have lived wounded lives, and in this novel he shares with us how they go on living. You may question if you would have made those same choices and I think that's what Dekker wants - he wants us to question or motives - are they driven by love or hate? This book will take you into the mind of a priest who loves and yet seeks justice, and a woman wounded seeking revenge.

Is this book dark? Absolutely
Is this book about love? Absolutely
Will this book make you question your motives? Absolutely

Is this Dekker's best work?
I am not sure if this is Dekker's best work - I think that is still to come, or maybe has come in the works of...."The Circle Trilogy", "Three", "Adam", or "Blink"

Is this Dekker's darkest book?
I don't think so....I think that Dekkers previous works "Immanuels Veins", "The Bride Collector", and "Bonemans Daughter" were darker.

This book is going to be a great addition to my library and I can't wait to share it with others!! Enjoy!!!
