Adam

I just got done reading Ted Dekker's new book Adam. I am quite sad about it. I'm not sad about the book itself, but sad that it's over…there's no more. It was that kind of book. I'm not going to give you a synopsis of the book. You can look that up yourself when you buy the book or get it from a library. I want to tell you what this book is about. It's about the journey of a man from a place where he believes only in psychology and the superiority of understanding the mind as the causation for all human behavior to a place where the supernatural made real. 

!!If you don't want to read any spoilers, then do not read any further!!

 

Daniel, the main character, after his death and resuscitation has continued bouts of crippling fear. They come to him even when he sleeps and he awakes screaming at the top of his lungs. He even begins to sleep with duct tape over his mouth so that when he awakes from these dreams his screams are muffled. Through the majority of the text as he chases the serial killer called Eve he believes that this affliction is merely due to some chemicals in his brain that are 'out of whack' (to use the technical term) after his near-death experience. Daniel also believes that religion is a product of the same psychological flaws that occur in the serial killer he chases. He believes all of this right up until he's possessed by an evil spirit. Read the book to find out what happens. You'll be glad you did.
