Narrative Conducive To Books Immanuel's Veins (Books of History Chronicles)
This story is for everyone--but not everyone is for this story.
It is a dangerous tale of times past. A love story full of deep seduction. A story of terrible longing and bold sacrifice.
Then as now, evil begins its courtship cloaked in light. And the heart embraces what it should flee. Forgetting it once had a truer lover.
With a kiss, evil will ravage body, soul, and mind. Yet there remains hope, because the heart knows no bounds.
Love will prove greater than lust. Sacrifice will overcome seduction. And blood will flow.
Because the battle for the heart is always violently opposed. For those desperate to drink deep from this fountain of life, enter.
But remember, not everyone is for this story.

I don't want to finish this book.It is one of those stories where the dude (Toma) sees some girl (Lucine) who is beautiful and falls instantly and madly in love. But there is no reason for him to be in love. Ted Dekker spends 90% of the first several chapters of the book going on and on about the emotions Toma felt, and how he can't focus, can't think straight, is nervous, is a teenaged-emo kid with raging hormones. But at no point do Toma and the object of his obsession ever have a conversationWhat a bluntly honest book displaying the dangers of lust over true love! The plot of this story drew me in and kept my attention, but the ending scene of redemption so captured the picture of God's love, I read it through several times, each time tearing up at the realization of all that God does for me!
The 2-star rating is probably not really deserved - Dekker is very good at what he does - it's personal opinion based on what I got out of the book. First of all, addressing the 'Christian' concerns over the book: Dekker has only one thing on his mind when he writes, apparently. Christ's love for the church, etc. (I think all of the books of his that I've read touch on this subject at least once, and some spend most of the time discussing it) This story is a little different. Act 1 goes by with
SPOILER ALERT: I am normally a Ted Dekker fan, but I have to say I was very disappointed in this book. It is a vampire drama/romance in which the main character, Toma, falls in love with a beautiful woman (Lucine) who is seduced by vampires. He then must storm the castle, rescue the girl, and ultimately "be her Immanuel" by shedding his own blood to save her life and destroy the vampire. The story reads like an Ann Rice novel, with the first third of the book focusing on the flirtations and
Ted Dekker has a way of capturing the reader and forcing you to turn the page, even when you're not sure if you want to or not! He is a little too comfortable writing about the darkness in my own opinion. He gets so dark that it makes me cringe and wonder if I should be reading it! But the spiritual undertones are amazing. This one was no different. A page turner that kept me entranced and wondering what was even going on for the first half of the book with a wonderful ending and a reminder of
I'm trying to finish this book. It is difficult. I just want it to be over. Okay, I made it through, and I hated it. There are very few books that I absolutely am disgusted with, but this was one. The actual idea of the story was a good one. It was so wordy, and sickeningly syrupy, however, that it completely killed the story. I found myself rolling my eyes about 80% of the time. So glad it's over. If you like sappy and over the top, you will love this book.
To our world that has forgotten the meaning of selflessness and unconditional love, Dekker spins a tale to remind us not only of what true love really is, but the lengths to which it will go to save a soul.Completely different than anything else Dekker has written, this book immersed me in a world of long ago and took me on a journey through one mans anguish, temptation, passion and sacrifice, leaving me with a sense of overwhelming joy.This is not a story about vampires, but it is a story about
