Item Description...
"New York Times" bestselling author Dekker unleashes his most riveting novel yet about an elusive serial killer whose victims die of unknown causes and the psychologist obsessed with catching him.
Publishers Description
FBI behavioral psychologist Daniel Clark has been made famous by his arguments that religion is one of society's greatest antagonists. What Daniel doesn't know is that his obsessive pursuit of a serial killer known only as "Eve" will end in his own death at Eve's hand. Twenty minutes later Daniel is resuscitated, only to be haunted by those twenty missing minutes of life. It soon becomes painfully clear that the only way to stop Eve is to recover those missing minutes by dying . . . again. What isn't nearly as clear is just how many times he will have to die to discover the truth, not only about Eve, but about himself. Daniel will have to face haunting realities about demon possession in the modern world-and reevaluate his prejudice against religion-to stop Eve. Gift of Grace Books was established to glorify God in thanksgiving for his abundant grace.
2 Corinthians 4:15 "All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God." |

 | My first Dekker book Sep 20, 2008 |
This is a fiction thriller, with a Christian message. I enjoyed the fast pass and mystery of this book. It is an easy read, yet Dekker's style of writing doesn't quite flow to my taste, and seems to be overly forced at times.

| I had seen Ted Dekker's books in the store and library many times but had never gotten around to reading one. I had heard only good things about his writing, but after reading this I'm wondering why. The description of the book's story line grabbed my attention, but I was sorely diappointed in the story itself. I thought the story turned out to be very predictable. The dialog was stilted and wooden and seemed more like something a first time author would write rather than a seasoned author. I felt the ending was a great disappointment as the whole book seemed to leading up to some great climax, but it was almost like the author just got tired of the story himself and said, "Okay, this is the end." While I was hoping to find another author I would enjoy, I think I'll pass on anmore of Mr. Dekker's books. | | |  | Great Read!!! Aug 4, 2008 |
| ADAM is my first book by Ted Dekker. It is a great read! It keeps your attention throughout and the twist is great. | | | | Leaves readers with lingering reminders that there are worlds of good and evil at play around us each day Jul 14, 2008 |
With ADAM, prolific author Ted Dekker spins another high-voltage web of intrigue. As is his norm, he weaves an intense emotional drama that has readers transfixed until the final page.
In this evocative story, Dekker's protagonist, FBI behavioral psychologist Daniel Clark, finds himself a victim of sorts of his own anti-religion philosophy when he allows an obsession with a serial killer dubbed "Eve" to destroy his marriage and overtake his life. Though Daniel writes eloquently about the evils of "religion," it is ironic that, as this drama plays out, religion and its accompanying spiritual forces and foes that he adamantly professes don't exist become his greatest nemesis.
After multiple slayings of young women, Eve actually fires the shot that kills Daniel as he and another agent/medical doctor, Lori Ames, are trying to rescue a barely alive female victim. Some 20 minutes after the shooting, Daniel is resuscitated, but in the aftermath suffers extreme episodes of panic, fear...and obsession...possession? Daniel seeks the aid of Lori, and they go in the "dark" to try to piece together and anticipate Eve's next step.
As Daniel fights his body's losing battle to ever-escalating thoughts of terror-ridden darkness, his ex-wife, Heather, is similarly battling her own set of fears. A phone call to her changes everything, and the killer makes it clear that she is Daniel's hope for survival. Unable to break free from him, and abruptly positioned in the center of the hunt, Heather enters the fray with Daniel and Lori to solve the intricacies of a murderer's mind and motives.
One emotionally draining episode after another, and the three are not simply fighting against Eve --- they are arguing, debating with their own inner thoughts and each other's. Daniel, Lori and Heather fight against time, distance and locating the key to Eve's past. When they realize they are dealing with the victim of a childhood kidnapping culminating in years of wretched abuse, the trio better grasp the evil they are up against.
They catch a break when Eve's former mentor priest is discovered and Heather confers with him. What she learns sounds unreal and otherworldly...and it is. Summoning up every ounce of courage she has and going against every bit of reason, logic and good sense, Heather begs Father Seymour to accompany her in the rescue of Daniel. What transpires in Eve's former place of childhood torture can only be described as hell itself, and the forces of heaven and hell wage against each other. Every one of the major players must reckon with what he or she truly believes about life, death and the powers that rule the universe.
Producing spine-tingling, edge-of-your-seat dialogue at its finest, Ted Dekker successfully brings closure to this life-altering clash between good and evil, and leaves readers with lingering reminders that there are two worlds at play around us each and every day.
--- Reviewed by Michele Howe | | | | The ultimate psychological thriller Jul 11, 2008 |
To say that this novel is a psychological thriller is an understatement. The human psyche is deeply explored, as well as more about spiritual forces than at first glance. It's also not just a serial killer book, though that is one aspect. Abuse, fear, evil, victimization, freedom of choice, religion, triumph over evil, truth over lies, courage, and love all have a part in the whole. But the whole is definitely more than the sum of its parts.
What might happen to someone who is severely abused as a child in the name of religion? Is it possible to escape that evil, or must you succumb to it at some point in your life? Can good triumph over evil? Will it always? How much can one person endure before they break? Are demons real? Can they really overtake someone who gives them access? Don't we all have the capacity for evil inside ourselves? Dekker explores answers to these questions.
I usually preface my Dekker reviews with the disclaimer that I may be a bit too passionate when it comes to his books. I'm a huge fan and he never ceases to flabbergast me. Adam is no exception. Dekker continues to up the ante and churn out gale-force plots with gargantuan spiritual oomph. Hence my admiration. Do I have anything negative to say about this story whatsoever? Not remotely. And that's a shock if you know me. Even with Ted, I'm still nitpicky. No doubt, thriller lovers like me will find merit in this newest offering.
Ted's track record for penning chest-heaving, mind-spinning works is nothing short of uncanny. His writing has always been spot on, but I have seen his growing maturity not only in his words, but in his themes. I definitely think this is his best to date, his Circle works coming a very close second.
Do not miss this one. It deserves recognition and discussion not just for its entertainment value, but on the merit that it has the potential power to change lives.
