I look forward to diving into it!<\/p>\n<p>I just finished reading Black by Ted Dekker. Whenever I read something outside my normal genre of romance, women&#8217;s fiction, or just &#8220;regular&#8221; Christian fiction, I always feel like I&#8217;m ready to read a few novels within the realm of my normal reading tastes. I know, it might be hard to get my point from the previous sentence. I guess I&#8217;m trying to say that fantasy and science fiction is not usually on my to-be-read list, although I do read a few of those titles occasionally. However, I don&#8217;t think I could read them all the time, the same way I read romance, WF, and non-sci-fi\/fantasy Christian fiction.<\/p>\n<p>Not to suggest Black is abnormal, just kind of deep and full of symbolism. The book was good, and I&#8217;m sure it took a lot of work and thought to create a alternate universe like Dekker did.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll be blogging about that shortly!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ceceliadowdy.com\/\">Cecelia Dowdy<\/a><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My editor at Barbour Publishing sent me this book for my reading pleasure!
