I just started reading this book last week. Haven't made it too far in yet, but it has grabbed my attention to the max. It is a bit long, but it is also four books combined into a one book series. Ted Dekker is an amazing author.

This was a very quick read - just the first of several mini books.  But totally engrossing and entertaining.  I really like Ted Dekker books and have read most of them even though some are hard to find. Excellent author.

I will always read ANYTHING Ted Dekker writes.  Not simply one time, but over and over again because he is a masterful story-teller.  His creativity and magnificent handling of the pen is mind blowing.  I cannot even begin to fathom how so many great stories are penned by one person.  A.D. 30 was a compelling story and I felt like I was right there in that desert with Maviah.  While meeting Jesus may not have been her mission, her fated journey to an encounter with the Messiah was dangerous and risky, and purposeful and beautiful all at the same time.  Definitely a good read.

I have loved all of Ted Dekker's stories, but this one is amazing in its clarity of true forgiveness and the freedom that comes as a result.  I would like to give this book to everyone I know who is struggling at any level with complete forgiveness exemplified by Jesus on the cross.

I've read many Ted Dekker books and this is one of the best! Well developed characters, creative, and suspenseful. Maybe a bit cheesy near the end in a couple of spots with the moral emphasis but otherwise a fantastic book. If you liked "Three" you're sure to love this one. His book titled Adam is also great.

Excellent!... as usual. I know I keep telling you this and I probably sound like a broken record, but - if you have not tried Ted Dekker yet - you really should! This book unfolds in a style that Ted Dekker is so known for.
This is on-the-edge-of-your-seat writing, if there ever was a book that keeps you on the edge - this is it. It hooks your right from page one. It had me hooked immediately!

I loved the characters - Nyah is awesome! So smart and brave, and totally selfless. Everything she is doing is for her mother. She literately risks her own life for her mother's. She is a true heroine!
Even the very strange and quirky Austin was a very likeable character.

Here are a few quotes for you.
I loved these passages so much, I think I would write them out and frame them!

  "Its how God works. I realized that life was beautiful, perfectly ordered, and death and suffering can be as well, in its own way."
  "Suffering's not beautiful," I said.
  "Necessary. Without it, growth would be impossible. There would be no opportunity for our hearts to unfold, to blossom, like they were meant to. The only thing that truly crashes our hearts is our unwillingness to let go. Let go of our need to control. Let go of our need to know the answers to our questions. No amount of suffering is truly heavy enough to crush us completely unless we let it. It only has the power we give it."

  "Death isn't death. It's not the end because we aren't just our minds or our bodies. We're far more than just physical beings having a spiritual experience. We're spiritual beings having a temporary physical experience." ~ Wow! words to live by.

This is a great book that only gets better and better!

I really liked this book.  I couldn't put it down.  It was my first Dekker book and I plan on reading more.

Another awesome book with twist and turns. Ted Dekker continues to wow me with his books. Everyone I have read is full of shocking twist that leave you ready to keep reading and not put down.  Kudos again to Dekker. Highly recommended. Should read the Priest Graveyard first though. Don't really need to but will give you a better insight on the characters.

I'm an avid reader and I really like the book. Ted Dekker's style is better than the average, but not the best of the best. The story is really unique though. I read it in one sitting. Lastly, it's a Christian book - and that's what I wanted. Not too many good Christian authors that have this kind of talent. Both A.D. 30 and A.D. 33 are really good. It's not your typical weird Ted Dekker novel either. It's a straight forward story of several people living at the time of Jesus Christ and how it changed or affected their lives. Pretty cool.

Deliver us from Darkness was one of the few books I've ever read in less than a week. I could not put it down!! The characters were believable and interesting, and there were several key points in the plot that put me on the edge of my seat. If you like spiritual thrillers, like Ted Dekker or the other Frank, this is a must.

Ted Dekker mixes all the fantastic plot elements a blockbuster novel should have into one enthralling tale of "good versus evil and everything in-between."
Certainly a must-read for ANYONE who reads in the horror and thriller genres; especially fans of Frank Peretti (Christian), or Stephen King.

Ted Dekker rarely lets me down when it comes to his stories. There've been a few that I've scratched my head over a time or two, but for the most part, he's incredibly consistent with the quality of book he writes. But I have to say BoneMan's Daughters is probably one of his best books since the Circle Trilogy.

Dekker weaves an intriguing twist on the classic serial killer tale. On more than one occasion, I found myself trying to out think him and failed every time. I couldn't figure it out (which is rare for me)...couldn't see where he was going with the story until the very last few chapters and wow! Was I absolutely spellbound.

I don't want to give too many details away. That's the problem with reviews...you can't be specific without spoilers. But the thing that impressed me the most about this book was the ingenius way he entwined the plot with a deep spiritual truth. I hate to use the word allegory, but it was there. The symbolism left me speechless. If anything else, it's worth reading just to see how he spins this web.

Trust me...read this book. You'll love it. Well written. Well plotted. And if you hear how Dekker came up with the idea for the book, you'll be even more blown away!

I read quite a bit of Ted Dekker. Some of his stuff I love, some I find too dark. However, I love his writing style, and love how he incorporates Christ into his stories.
I was really looking forward to this new series of episodic books. I enjoyed the weekly releases.
Book 1 - This engaged me and had me wondering where this was heading. However I found myself wondering if I wanted to read the rest, as it was a bit traumatic, mind messing. But I decided to persevere, as I knew there would be more to be revealed, and eventually it would make sense.
Book 2 - The story develops
Book 3 - Starting to see where it was heading.
Book 4 - Loved!!!
Can't wait for Water Walker when it is released.
My encouragement is to stick with it, worth it at the end. I'm hooked now.

A truly gripping story that stayed with me after I read the first three (borrowed from a friend), Black, Red and White over a year ago, so when I found out Green was available of course I went out and purchased then read the entire story again, finishing with Green. So glad I did, but now I want more! These stories just make the reader feel good, and in times of trouble what could be wrong with that??? Ted Dekker is fast becoming my favorite author!

Ted Dekker is probably my favorite author.  I have all of his books, which is quite a few.  This one is another one that is hard to put down.  Christian fiction is all I read any more.
