"Second Touch"

by Bodie & Brock Thoene

Wow! What a powerful book! As you would probably know, I love historical fiction, but I especially loved this book as it was biblically based. A really well written book that had you fully in touch with the characters and living their life, feeling their pain etc. It was actually quite a hard book to read in light of the leprosy described in the pages. The writers really delved deeply into how a leper is treated and hardest of all, how it affects someone physically. I always knew that leprosy would be something horrible to succumb to, but had no idea of the true impact. I assume that the writers would have researched the disease, so believe I have a deeper understanding of the infliction. So sad, and as I mentioned above, so hard to read about. The writers went into a lot of detail at times, so it wasn't easy to read. Over all, a wonderful book and I look forward to more of the AD Chronicles.
