Angela Hunt gives plenty food for thought in her novel, The Debt. Thought: "Should evil be wiped out with force or with love?" Thought: "How easily would I befriend the untouchables, hurting, or outcast slum of life?" Thought: "What kind of a Christian am I?"
Emma Rose is married to a powerful televangelist (Abel Howard - sincere and moral) who wields his power to boycott immorality in movies, televisions and books and who holds steadfastly to the idea that the "rot" of the world must be fleshed out. Emma Rose, the wife by his side doing all her wifely and pastoral duties to her fullest, has a past that was never discussed with her husband. (Not necessary, he said.) One day she receives a note-- A mysterious 28 year old man wants to meet her and she knows now her buried youth will not be buried much longer. She questions how will this affect the ministry and how will she share all the sordidness that was her existence before -- before her life was transformed?
A good read found in the religious fiction section of the library! This book is also the March 2011 selection for the “Faith-Inspired Book Club” of the Delphi Public Library.
