Green has been on my to-read list for literally years. But three chapters in, I'm giving up.
Right from the get-go, it seems Dekker is idolizing romantic relationships. He does it under the guise of marriage being a picture of Christ's relationship with the Church, except he seems to think that a romantic relationship is actually better than a relationship with Christ. There are aspects of singleness and celibacy that speak to Christ's relationship with the Church, as well, but I don't remember Dekker ever delving into that in any of his books.
On page 29, one of the characters says, "You can't possibly go your entire life knowing about such a thing and not try it at least once. Kinda like sex, right?" -- Really? I believe Christ, Paul, and a multitude of believers have been able to live their entire lives without sex. I realize this is a novel, and not a "Christian-living" non-fiction work, and that just because a character says something doesn't mean that's the moral of the story. But Dekker's theology upsets me more and more with every book of his I read. Which is unfortunate, because I really do like his story-telling. I think it's dangerous, especially for believers who may not know their own Bibles very well, to read "Christian" novels like this where truths and lies are mixed together and no effort is made to define which is which.
Lastly, it annoys me that Dekker essentially takes the name of God in vain, albeit using the name he's created for God in his story, which is Elyon. On page 18, one of the characters thinks, "This was his own son, for the love of Elyon!" and that's just one instance. This is something that irked me in every single one of Dekker's other books, also. It's so unnecessary.
I was confused about Billy's introduction into the story, since I thought he was in a completely different series of Dekker's - and after reading a few other reviews, realized I was right. Apparently Dekker tried combining three or so different series into this book. But hey, that's not weird at all, right? ( )
