Circle Trilogy

I finished book three, WHITE, last night at 12:15 am.  Sometimes trilogies can leave you disappointed  in the sense they book one starts off so wonderful and they go downhill from there.  I can honestly say that each book got better as the series went on.  What a joy to read such an amazing author, Ted Dekker.  I have just picked up GREEN, book 0 in this same trilogy and am excited to read what happened before before one.

A bit about the story...without giving away too much.

Thomas Hunter is a 24 year old kid who is living in the U.S. in 2010.  Every time he falls asleep he wakes up in a separate reality, one where good and evil are visible and separated from one another.  Early on in book one that separation is broken by the selfish actions of Tanis, the first man created.  The rest of the series is the struggle of good verses evil both in Thomas's reality and in the 2010 reality where a deadly virus is released to the entire world.

Thomas uses information from each reality to help in the what he faces in the opposite reality.  It sounds very confusing, but it is beautiful and incredibly biblical.

The way Dekker describes God's love in this series is beyond beautiful.  I walk away feel in a profound love for God and a desire to love Him with all that I am.  Any book that can evoke this in me, I will highly recommend.

Enjoy the series - it is amazing.
