Sinner: A Paradise Novel (The Books
of History Chronicles) by Ted Dekker
Sinner - Ripped From Tomorrow's Headlines
Some say roll with the punches. Drift with the tide. Nothing can stop the
inevitability of change. There was a time when 300 Spartans disagreed
with such mindless thinking and stood in the gap.
Now its time for 3,000 to stand in the gap.
Sinner is the story of Marsuvees Black, a force of raw evil who speaks
with wicked persuasion that is far more destrictive than swords or guns.
Beware all who stand in his way.
Its also the story of Billy Rediger and Darcy Lange, two unsuspecting
survivors of a research project gone bad, who discover that they are
perhaps the two most powerful souls in the land. Listen to them or pay a
terrible price.
And its the story of Johnny Drake, the one who comes out of the desert
and leads the 3,000. Follow him and die.

Sinner tells the story of a free land where people who worship as they
please and say what they believe are suddenly silenced in the name of
tolerance.
Personal Review: Sinner: A Paradise Novel (The Books of
History Chronicles) by Ted Dekker
Imagine an America, much like today's America. An America where not
only can a child refuse to say the Pledge of Allegiance in school because
of the phrase One Nation Under God, but where that child can also force
the Pledge completely out of school because it forces someone else's
religious belief upon him.
An America where it's more of a crime to protest outside of an abortion
clinic than it is to stop the birth of a baby just before the head is delivered
only to administer murder under the label of "partial birth abortion."
An American where religious tolerance is more important than religious
freedom -- where it is considered a hate crime to speak of one's religion as
the only way to God and to speak of one's Savior as "The Way, The Truth
and The Life," while civil libertarians are more concerned with protecting
the rights of religious fundamentalists who attacked our nation on 9/11
because their god supposedly demands it.
In Sinner, Ted Dekker has done just that: painted an all too real picture of
America in the very near future, where religious tolerance becomes the law
of the land, and loving God becomes a hate crime.
Continuing the epic saga of The Books of History Chronicles that began
with the trilogy Black, Red, and White, Dekker spins his greatest tale yet,
as we revisit the town of Paradise, Colorado, where evil once reigned in
the person of Marsuvees Black, a western-style gunslinger whose mere
existence was the product of a child's imagination, a pen, and one of the
lost Books of History.
Sinner comes as much from today's headlines as from the mind of one of
the best-selling Christian authors of all time. The Chavez administration,
that of the first Hispanic-American ever elected to the White House.
Muslim-Americans outnumbering whites. School systems where it is
forbidden for students to discuss things like racial differences or religious
beliefs. This is an America that could be just around the corner.
Imagine an America where a very liberal legislature, supported by a
president of historic ethnicity, makes it a federal offense to believe in Jesus
Christ as the Son of God, who came to earth and died for our sins so that
we might spend eternity with Him. Imagine an America where house

churches become the norm and must go underground because it is a
crime to preach a sermon that teaches salvation through Jesus Christ.
In our world today, as we struggle in a war against religious extremists who
think the only way to Heaven is to martyr themselves trying to kill the
infidels, where more people seem to be concerned with treating those
extremists fairly than with protecting our freedom, our borders, our very
lives, it is not unimaginable that such a world as Ted Dekker depicts in
Sinner could become our world today.
At this time of national politics, with two Presidential candidates duking it
out in their battle for the White House, it is prudent to remember that the
very world we know could be turned upside down in very short measure. If
you read only one book this year -- and you should read it right away --
make that book Ted Dekker's Sinner. It is above and beyond all others the
absolute best Ted Dekker book I have ever read (and I've read them all),
and the best book I have read this year. You owe it to yourself to read this
book, and to do so with an open mind and an open heart.
It could happen. It could happen in America. Unless we stand together
against the biggest threat yet -- tolerance.
