New Stuff???

Yes this is a book review, I have decided that i need to expand my horizons a little bit and include books and maybe even a couple of movies. I have not been on in a while and i think that I have learned a bit in how to write in general and if anyone thinks that I am writing better now please let me know.

Immanuel's Veins by Ted Dekker

Immanuel's veins by Ted Dekker

"This Story is Meant for Everyone, but not Everyone is Meant for this Story"

What would it be like if this thing that could satisfy our mortal bodies was a sip of blood? Blood, Christ's blood covers our sins and renews us but what does the blood of evil contain? Blood takes on new meaning in Ted Dekker's newest masterpiece "Immanuel's Veins". Toma Nicolescu comes to protect the the Cantemir Estate but is confronted by a great evil. This story is about an ultimate sacrifice and a beautiful poem of how Christ wants to woo each and every person on the Earth.

In order not to make this book sound really weird to even strong Christian believers, you need to read the book. The book will sound strange and unorthodox and to people who have not heard much about some strong symbolism in the blood of Christ, you will find the book dark and maybe even repulsive.


To believe is one thing, to partake is another. When you accept God and take communion you "partake" of the flesh of communion. What happens when you literally partake of the blood of demons that have weaseled their way into the mortal world? How about you do not die when you get shot in the head, you are extremely fast, your senses for pleasure become enhanced thousand-fold and you live for several thousand years. Toma must face this evil and rescue Lucine, the love of his life, from this evil devil-spawn and save her from intense pleasure until she dies and has eternal torment.

"I do not want to gain the whole would but lose my soul" sound familiar?

The story will sound bad I know, and the "This Story is Meant for Everyone, but not Everyone is Meant for this Story" is 110% true. If you are a feel good Christian then you may find you life revolutionized or you may find this book horrible. Great read and I would recommend it highly.

Caution though, vampires are basically what the demon spawn are. They can only be killed with the wood stake through the heart and holy water burns their skin etc. Garlic though is not a part of it. Vampires do not need to be a part of Ted Dekker books. 9/10
