The more I read Christian books and write reviews for them; this year so far, over 105 books of the 240+ books I’ve done [about 45%], have been for non-fiction Christian books, the more I come to the realization that the Bible is indeed the answer book to practically any question one might have, especially when it deals with individuals. And one of the last subject areas I could imagine it would be dealing with is that of concerning an individual’s sexual identity.

However, this is where the authors of this book, Kristin and Travis Spencer, take their readers, which is on a journey through the myriad of scriptures to show them what the reality is in regards to having a meaningful sexual life that is biblically-based.

There are far too many carnal prohibitions which have been historically overlooked in the teaching of the bible in church, especially when these topics have been concerning masturbation, sexual [erotic] abuse, and of course, same-sex relationships. The apparent suppose of this book, as far as I can see, is to correct this situation by giving its readers some sort of guidebook in succeeding in accomplishing their intimate desires. It might also serve a purpose in helping individuals rid themselves of the guilt they’re carrying with them regarding their previous sexual transgressions in the eyes of the Lord.

Through the pages of this book, readers might be able to not only achieve a higher level of satisfaction in their marriage, which have until now been hinder by their misconception of what is and is not biblically acceptable; but might also assist single individuals in achieving a more gratifying sexual relationship with another individual.

For wanting to clear the prevailing biblical misconceptions of the bible in order for individuals to reboot their sexual identities and lives, I’ve given this book and its authors 5 STARS.

Ever and Dawn were friends that I enjoyed getting to now. It was hard for Ever to understand how Dawn did without so much. I loved Ever's heart and how deeply she cared for her friend. There were times I felt a bit lost in the story, but as I dug deeper I began to understand. To say that I enjoyed the story would be difficult, but I appreciated the tender way the author presented the topic of abuse. Coming from a violent and abusive childhood, the story was overwhelming at times. I wish I had been blessed with a friend like Ever.

Graves is a horrible person and it made me ill to hear her say to Ever, " What do you care 'bout that sack of a worthless child for?" Oh how I wanted to shake that lady and scream at her. The lies she tells that her daughter has moved is horrible. It was like Dawn was just something to be tossed aside when her parents were done with her. Ever is devastated to learn her friend is gone. Her dad believes he must share the Man of Sorrows with Ever to heal her broken heart. The parallels between the Man of Sorrows book and the story of Jesus is woven together very well. God is the one who can heal our broken hearts and dry our tears away.

The story takes on a dark and lonely road when Ever is reunited with Dawn. The abuse Dawn endured is so horrific I couldn't stop crying. Can Ever help her friend or is she locked away in her mind forever? To give up on someone who has been damaged is like saying they are not important enough to be saved. As Dawn and Ever venture into the woods the book finally made sense. The time they spend there opens Ever's eyes as to what needs to be fought in order to save Dawn. The darkness wants us to think we can't defeat it, but we can with God's help. Oh my it is such a powerful realization to know that The One is speaking about satan as we know him. The visions Ever has of Dawn's abuse is very graphic and gave me chills. There is a lot to grasp from this story of torture and darkness. The best point the author makes is when The Man tells Ever that others are guilty of what happened to Dawn. The villagers turned their back and ignored what was going on. They knew and did nothing. The ending is gripping and I can say that I look forward to where Ever and Dawn are sent on their new quest. Thank you for taking a difficult subject and showing me that I was never alone as a child. I will cherish the story and the hope it brings me.

I do not see the outward appearance as man sees. I see the innermost thoughts and desires. I see into the heart."

I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.

Be prepared to want to cry and be a little grossed out. This definitely lives up to its name. Ever and Dawn must understand the darkness. Some parts of the book were hard to read because of the horrendous subject matter. I am looking forward to the next book in the series. I need to learn what Ever and Dawn are going to do next. I received a copy of this book from Celebratelit for a fair and honest opinion that I gave of my own free will.
