A review by ereidsma
Het heiligdom by Ted Dekker
4.0
It is a bit gruesome and as is typical for Ted Dekker the story has a lot of holes in it that make it pretty weak, but still very entertaining, suspenseful and also thought provoking regarding punishment and grace, violence and love. Near the end I couldn't put it down and I was not disappointed in the ending.
From “The Sanctuary” by Ted Dekker
“In truth we all exist in our own sanctuaries-but I don’t mean cathedrals or prisons. I’m talking about out hearts and minds, which imprison us in anxiety, fear, insecurity, anger and other forms of misery. The walls the bars that keep most in a constant state of suffering are thoughts and emotions, not concrete and steel. It’s a disease. Insanity. Most are afflicted by it regardless of which side of the law they find themselves on or where they lay their heads at night. To be free of this is, Renee, it to be free indeed.”
“The truth is, the only key that will unlock the prisons we all live in is love. Unconditional love, like God’s. And even that’s a mystery.”
