As you read this book, do so knowing that it will force a decision from you--a decision that has been there all along. Maybe you have already made this decision; or maybe you didn't know it was yours to make.
Long before the creation of man, El created the angels; but 1/3 of the angels fell, leaving El in a pit of sorrow that led to His creation of man--a being created solely of dirt. Rather than forgiving the fallen angels and welcoming them back into communion with Him, He breathed life into this man, so beginning a war for the ages--a war that will not end until the end of life as we know it.
Satan and his demons have held bitterness, anger, jealousy, and rage that you haven't even imagined until you begin to unfold the demon's story--only to find out that the story is your own.
In the midst of this war, Clay, a lonely and recently divorced editor, becomes enthralled by a mysterious man--whom he knows to be a demon--and his story. The demon first confronts Clay, revealing his identity, and tells him that he wants to tell him his story; and then Clay will publish that story. Clay is reluctant to follow through with the demon's desires at first; but he soon discovers that everything the demon says, is trapped in his mind until he lets it out on paper. Soon, Clay is obsessed with knowing the story's ending, and willing to turn from the voice in his head that tells him to run, just so he can know why the demon says the story is ultimately about him.
"Demon" is a masterpiece--the perfect blend of biblical truth and fiction, that engages the reader's imagination and leaves them in awe of the unconditional and unfathomable love of Elohim. Tosca Lee beautifully exposes Elohim's love affair with man, from creation to the fall, and then to the ultimate atoning sacrifice that sealed His love for us. Those readers who have not already believed, will be confronted with a decision--a decision that seals their true reality and eternity after this world, which will eventually only seem like a dream. Believers who read this story, will do so tearfully, unable to fathom the depth of His love for us. It will cause believers of all ages to long for the physical communion with our Creator so much that nothing in this world would have the attractiveness to hold them back if El were to call them home today.

Great review! This book is on my to be read list. I too am a huge fan of Ted Dekker. I can't wait for Dekker and Tosca Lee's collaborative novel!
