The 49th Mystic (Beyond the Circle Book #1)
The 49th Mystic (Beyond the Circle Book #1) | Ted Dekker
14 posts | 9 read | 8 to read
Some say the great mystery of how one can live in two worlds at once died with Thomas Hunter many years ago. Still others that the gateway to that greater reality was and is only the stuff of dreams. They are wrong. In the small town of Eden, Utah, a blind girl named Rachelle Matthews is about to find out just how wrong. When a procedure meant to restore Rachelle's sight goes awry, she begins to dream of another world so real that she wonders if Earth might only be a dream experienced when she falls asleep in that reality. Who is a simple blind girl to have such strange and fantastic dreams? She's the prophesied one who must find and recover five ancient seals--in both worlds--before powerful enemies destroy her. If Rachelle succeeds in her quest, peace will reign. If she fails, both worlds will forever be locked in darkness. So begins a two-volume saga of high stakes and a mind-bending quest to find an ancient path that will save humanity. The clock is ticking; the end rushes forward. Ready? Set? Dream.

⭐ I loved The Circle, but this just didn't resonate with me at all. I struggled to even finish it. 🤷

This was a fast-paced thriller that makes you reach for the sequel right away. Rachelle is a girl born blind in a the secluded town of Eden, Utah. She goes into a coma after the operation to restore her sight, but awakes in a new world and finds a new identity and is tasked to save both the world she awoke in and Eden. But, of course, the powers of darkness are out to stop her.

Ted Dekker is a great story teller. This is no exception.

"I'm walking through a field of yellow daises, wanting to love the way they sway in a gentle breeze, wanting to enjoy the scents of fresh earth and natural grasses, the bright blue sky, the sound of chirping birds in the trees just ahead of me."

Woot! 🎉 I finished this before the end of the day! I enjoyed this visit back to “Other Earth” and Dekker‘s exploration of theology. Rise of the Mystics is next! #Audible #audiobook

Dekker does it again! This was a fabulous, amazing, tear jerking, thought provoking, faith building book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💖
Beautiful and so wonderfully rendered, Dekker delivers an insight into God unlike anything I‘ve ever seen in fiction.

This was theologically amazing. I had some issues with the writing, but Dekker always has a great story to tell. Full review can be found here: http://www.celestialmusings.org/?p=569
