Prey Without Ceasing by Andrew Franks
4.0
Prey Without Ceasing is a compelling read laced with metaphor about the hypocrisy that occurs in the Christian church while still holding onto a thread of faith in God by the end of the novel.
As a person who grew up in a religious cult the intensity of the religious fervor felt very familiar and relatable as well as Daltons rebellious and questioning nature.
The last half of the book was filled with metaphors. However I felt like the author could have achieved the point that child sa is rampant in the church without the depiction he choose to use. I just felt like it could have been done differently though I do believe that the depiction was to highlight the abusive nature in the church. This is my primary reason for giving the book a 4 instead of a 5 star.
Overall, if you are someone who grew up in an intensely religious Christian church or home and are deconstructing but still wanting to hold onto a core of your belief system then this is an interesting and intriguing read
