Boneman’s Daughters utterly scared me.
However, now that I’ve read what took place behind the scenes…it’s situations like these where one can only marvel at the grace of God. My family’s been through something very similar to Ted’s…I feel the emotion leaping off the pages. It’s something that sometimes can’t be tamed…I would reccommend this book. It is raw. And scary. And sometimes questionable. But…maybe it’s because I Now know where he’s coming from…this is something we all need to be reminded of. Life’s dark times reveal things about us. Good. Bad. Ugly. You can’t put this book into the same category as all Dekker’s previous works.

Praise God.

I just got Green on Friday November 13, finished it by Monday. At the end I let out a groan and felt as if some pages must have been torn out. But, then I decided I really liked it. I have to say it’s just “Dekkeresque” to leave us with all of those unanswered questions to the resolution we wanted.

I hope there will be another book to clear these up, but I’m not counting on it. Great job!

Thank you for all your books. I have enjoyed them immensely and appreciate all the hard work and dedication you give to your writing.
I loved the circle trilogy and in many ways liken you to CS Lewis in the ways you can portray the gospel through fictional writings, this again is very commendable.
However, I have just finished BoneMan’s Daughters and was slightly disappointed by the ending. I can see the analogies that you try to bring about but feel that Ryan should not have set fire to BoneMan’s house, killing him. Yes there was a need for justice, but not revenge. Yes BoneMan was evil, yet he was still human. And yes Ryan was the good guy, the saviour, but he was not God and so did not have the right to serve this judgement upon BoneMan. Surely it would make Ryan a stronger character for him to admit his fault in the situation and for him to offer forgiveness to Alvin, and for Alvin to be dealt justice by the law (and possibly psychiatric help) and later by God.
But I don’t want to end on a negative note - thanks again for keeping on keeping on, and looking forward to ALL your future works.

Green was an awesome book except for the ending! I agree with those above, it leads to an endless cycle and I would like to see a good explanation for it.

Comment on Ted Resources by Megan M.

Ted,
I had a semi-serious, fairly curious question for you and I couldn’t find an email or contact. I’m hoping that I can hear from you to get a better understanding.

I’m a huge fan of yours because I admire the fact that you aren’t afraid to go through the nitty, gritty to get to the truth and this is why I’m curious:

In the email that was just sent out, I saw on that one of your upcoming releases for 2010 is called “Tea With Hezbollah: Sitting at the Enemies’ Table, Our Journey Through the Middle East.” I am a strong Christian who seeks truth and understanding in all facets of life, including when it comes to understanding others. Is that book focused primarily on “the enemy,” on the extremist groups that are a minority in the Middle East? Or are you also justly addressing the majority of the people in the Middle East that seek peace, understanding and denounce extremists as well?

I’ve always loved your work but just by the text, that cover has got me concerned because it sounds like its jumping on the bandwagon that gives all the attention to the extremist minority, and none to the majority that does good for the world. I’m hoping that you can reassure me that that is not the only focus of the book.

Thank you,
Megan
