Lawhead is one of my favorite authors. I have read the first in this series, but have yet to read Scarlet. I keep hinting to my wife that I want it…she hasn’t taken the bait yet, though! If anyone is interested in a great read by Lawhead, check out Byzantium. It is probably one of my favorite reads by him.

The character and language reminds me of Firefly, which I love. When can I get a copy of this [Chinese] book?

This is the first one-page review I’ve seen (by you or anyone else for that matter), but I love how detailed you are, and also how you’ve written your review so that it can be well understood by a wide audience. Bravo! As one who has attempted to write a novel or two, it is quite helpful to see what elements you appreciate and what catches your attention. That’s all very helpful. So thanks.

As always, Marcus, your one page review is excellent!

I am not familiar with N.T. Wright, although I have heard the name. From what you say I would like to learn more. Do you have a website to recommend?

I’m a big Wright fan as well. In fact, when Chris and I became members at an Anglican church, one of my first thoughts was, “Now I belong to the same denomination as N.T. and C.S.” Should I start only using my initials? H.A.?
Somehow, I don’t think people would take me as seriously.

This is one series where I can wholeheartedly say that you shouldn’t miss out on it. Lawhead’s depth of storytelling is really on display here.

As always, a wonderful analysis!

Great analysis as usual, Marcus. I really like the depth you bring to your one page critiques. I can say I love his use of language, but you take it apart and show it. Love it!

Did I say “weep”? Choked up may be a better description. Certainly it was an experience worth weeping over.

This is just to say. Ah, yes. The retreat sounds like it was, well, quite retreatful! I’m not surprised you wept.
