Entertaining & Thought Provoking
Rating:
5 / 5
Michael Vines pulls you into the story, and doesn't let go, ever!! The unpredictable twists and turns capture your imagination and challenge your own belief system. This book will evoke your emotions and connect you with the main character like never before. The best part about this book was that I didn't have to work for it. Easy reading at it's finest!! I would highly recommend Theophany, and I anxiously await Mr. Vines' next book.
Theophany, the life and death of a girl prophet.

I read too much. I sleep poorly so I read, and I read so much I often feel I have read it all. I abandon most books long before I am finished because my attention has wandered elsewhere. When I do bother to finish a book, I seldom remember it. But I do remember Theophany, and Theophany still bothers ME! You don't forgot Theophany.I literally read Theophany in one (very, very long) sitting because I just couldn't nail it. It was extremely interesting but it kept me totally off balance through the the entire experience. It is a rollercoaster ride of emotions toward the characters, from a fascinated adoration of Sarah, the heroine (an awkward, inadequate term here) and her family, to an intense hatred of the villain, whom I will let you meet for yourself. Michael Vines, the author, ignores the usual limits by allowing things to happen to his characters that just aren't allowed to happen elsewhere. The plot never goes where expected and the ending is not what you allow yourself to anticipate. One thing you cannot do while reading this book is relax. Or forget it after. I will be rereading it some day so I am keeping my copy. I strongly recommend it, but you will have to buy your own.
Reached my belief

Michael has touched my heart with his story line and characters to complete the story. I'm a firm believer that we here on earth ARE fighting good vs evil everyday and "Theophany" develops that beyond what we "see"...it actually could be TRUE!! I would highly recommend this to anyone with a belief in God (or their version of a higher being) and a heart.
