My Review of "The Priest's Graveyard"

The Priest’s Graveyard has touched me in a way few books have. It has reminded me why I want to be a writer. I don’t feel this way just because of the story’s vivid characters, intense plot, and surprising twists that only Dekker can create. And it’s also not just because I found myself laughing out loud at spots and choking back tears at others. And it’s not just the dark edge to the story that kept me on the edge of my seat. What got me most about this book was the story itself. I really feel like I went on a journey with these characters, and I lived the story myself. This book changed my perspective of the world; I can’t look at myself or others in the same way I used to.  It’s hard to believe I can learn so much truth from a fictional story, but this book has opened my eyes. I can’t explain how, but this book got under my skin and stayed there. I would highly recommend it to anyone!

Inspiration

I will admit, lately I have been a bad writer. The only reason I created this blog was because I had to for my English class. But today I have been reminded about why I write. On facebook, my favorite author, Ted Dekker, created a page for people participating in a promotion he is having for his newest novel, The Priest's Graveyard. Out of that page, several new groups of Dekker fans--a.k.a. "Dekkies"--were born. In just the last few days, these groups have become like new families with everyone getting to know and encouraging each other. And it's all because we share a common interest (or should I say obsession?): Ted Dekker. But seeing everyone in our "Forrest Guard" families encouraging each other's writing and raving over the same books has inspired me to start up this blog again. I don't know if anyone will ever read it, but that's not the point. The point is just to write for the heck of it because I can. Because I'm a writer. Thanks, Dekkies! You inspire me!
