Things are not what they seem
In Thr3e, a psychotic stalker terrorizes an innocent victim...or is he really that innocent. Ted Dekker does a great job of keeping the reader guessing right up until the final chapters of the book. He uses a great tale to explore the true nature of man and has some pretty pointed things to say about the people of the church. (See Welcome to the Church in America.)
"I do not understand what I do...It is no longer myself who do it, but it is sin living in me...For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do - this I keep on doing...I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me...I delight in God's law; but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin. I myself in my mind am a slave to God's law, but in the sinful nature a slave to the law of sin."
From a letter written by Saint Paul to the church in Rome, A.D. 57. Romans 7:15-25
