My Favorite Books Page

These are some of my favorite books- I have enjoyed reading them all and exceedingly recommend them.
1. Wings of Dawn by Sigmund Brower My favorite book-depicting the epic ancient war of the Merlins and the druids. This is the best novel, in my opinion, that Sigmund Brouwer has ever written. Wings of dawn (also re-printed as "Magnus") is an exciting, off-beat, fast-paced novel, that you will not be able to put down. The first time I read it I could not stop. It is so fast and has so many unexpected twists and turns that I could not help but keep reading, I was drawn into the story.
2. The Oath by Frank Peretti One of the best terror thrillers I have read- a great illustration of sin's unobserved destructive powers. This horror novel is, in a way, an analogy. It shows sin incarnate, in the form of a demonic dragon. It is very high-paced and unexpected, with lots of hunting- whether it be for a giant killer bear or transparently camouflaged dragons.
3. Double Helix by Sigmund Brouwer Double Helix is a brilliant novel which exhibits superbly the danger and possible horror of genetics manipulation and other sciences. The moral of the entire 306 page novel is excellent: "Man's lust for immortality breads the ultimate immorality". This is a great book on the evil that might, or is, working its way into science- such as raising children just to manipulate them and/or harvest their organs or take people from other third-world countries. Brouwer shows the horror and evil that could result from "science", if precautions are not set in place.
4. Hangman's Curse, the Veritas project by Frank Peretti An intriguing horror novel with a twist of satanic evil. A high school is terrorized by a curse: one that is invoked by a symbol on the person's locker. All who receive the mark go crazy and then die. When the truth starts to unravel, witchcraft comes into play, and an evil that goes deeper than it.
5. Monster by Frank Peretti Monster is about…well…a monster. It was interesting yet somewhat predictable. Its ending was unexpected and weird, for the entire time you are expecting the Bigfoot-like monster to be the "monster" the title is referring to. Yet its not: they are not involved with the other events. It is interesting to see how Peretti describes the yetties, and their interaction with mutants. It has some great information on the theory of evolution, which is nice to see in such a popular novel. This is Peretti's latest novel.
Other good books
1. The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandra Dumas -a very interesting classic book, the story of Edmond Dantes, and his incredible journey of justice.
2. The Weeping Chamber by Sigmund Brouwer- an off-beat novel, written from the perspective of Simon of cypress.
3. The Savage Garden by Peter D'Amato- raise or interested in carnivorous plants? Then read this book, it has a huge amount of information and pictures of some of the weirdest and rare carnivorous plants.
4. . The Black Pearl by Scott O'Dell-A very unique novel about the finding of the pearl of the world, and its curse on those who found it.
