Book Review: “Blink” / Ted Dekker
Published 11:56 pm Thursday, June 21, 2007
Like his novel, “Blessed Child,” Ted Dekker’s “Blink” weaves religious thought and philosophy into a suspenseful tale. Here, Dekker introduces Seth Borders who has the power to see numerous potential futures; in other words, he can see the consequences of particular actions. This ability comes in handy, on several occasions, upon meeting Miriam, a Saudi Arabian princess fleeing an arranged marriage that would have devastating ramifications. Dekker has a talent for providing insightful dialogue on various cultures and philosophies without letting the plot trip over these ideas. He explores various ideas while he keeps the suspense coming.
