This book‘s highest achievement is to take the reader into the mental and emotional reality of a possessed individual. The sensationalist stuff is set aside in favor of vivid, intelligent descriptions of what the five victims felt and experienced over many years as their free will was slowly and patiently subverted. It is terribly frightening but also tremendously empowering to understand the role that will and choice play in these situations.

#NunLitQuarterly 🗳 QUARTER 1 VOTING 🗳

Hello my wonderful Reading Sisters! Can‘t believe it was a year ago already when we chose our first reads. It‘s been a joy reading alongside you all. Looking forward to our second year.

Time to cast your votes for our 2024 selections! I want to give everyone plenty of time to plan and acquire the books.

Which of these would you most like to read in January?

marleed Oooh, I‘ll vote Mercy House. Although I‘m intrigued to read Rumer Godden, I think I‘m most interested in the Mercy House story. 1mo

Tamra It has been fun! But, I‘m also feeling “overbooked” at times when life & work gets busy. I am going to sit this round out. 1mo
LeahBergen I‘ve been enjoying this immensely, too, but (like @Tamra ) I feel like I‘ve been overbooking myself for buddy reads this year. 😆 I‘m going to sit this round out but may pop in and read along at some time. Thank you! 😘 1mo
jlhammar @Tamra @LeahBergen No worries, totally understand. We‘ll miss you both! 1mo

Posting this one makes me a little nervous. I‘ve been questioning going back to church after leaving in college, and how I fit there. This book was really helpful and an easy read. Very frank and doesn‘t shy away from the bad parts.

MaureenMc Praying for you on this journey 🙏💗🙏 2mo

Tedious. Read the last ten pages first before deciding to take the plunge.
