The Girl Behind the Red Rope
Perfect love casts out fear is the premise behind Rachel and
Tedd Dekker’s latest novel, The Girl Behind the Red Rope. It has elements of allegory, but I found
myself trying to decide how to interpret it.
Near the end of the book, the authors spell it out for the reader, which
I found helpful.
Grace is part of a community of believers who have secluded
themselves for protection against the Fury, which will destroy the world in the
near future. Her estranged father
returns to the community and brings the boy Eli, who enlightens Grace to the
slavery of fear. The community’s fear is
so deeply ingrained that it will destroy them unless Grace can help them to see
the truth.
The authors give the reader much to ponder and write in the
famed Dekker style, with lots of psychological suspense which keeps the reader
engaged.
Fans of the Dekkers or Frank Peretti will enjoy this
thought-provoking novel. I received a free copy from the publisher for this, my
honest review.
