This review is from: Redeemed (Paperback)

Redeemed is a thought provoking novel that challenged me to recognize the world of demonic activity. Donna Dawson paints vivid pictures with her words, she pulled me into the life of Heather, an unfortunate girl who through circumstances beyond her control faced fear and confusion as she grappled the evil that had possessed her. Unable to cope Heather runs away from home and meets a variey of characters, some terrifying and some protective. Ultimately Heather is freed by God's grace, and in every sense of the word is redeemed. A truly great read.

"Redeemed- the novel" is the first fiction book by newcomer Donna Dawson. It is the story of a young girl named Heather and her battle with the demons within her; and, of course, her eventual overcoming of those demons, and "redemption" through God's grace and mercy.

I really enjoyed this book and the author's writing style. It was unlike most of the fiction books I read, but it really held my attention to the end. Donna is wonderful at painting word pictures and uses so many descriptive adjectives that it's so easy to picture things in your mind while reading. I was drawn into the streets of Toronto and into the lives of the characters.

Although I am not very familiar with the whole demon realm (nor do I want to be!), I thought that the battle was very well portrayed in this book. Of course, good conquers evil in the end; but the struggle to get to the climax is long and hard. Prayer is a powerful weapon; as is the love of a family and friends.

Something that I was reminded of while reading this book, is that we all face demons (whether "real" or of our own making) each and every day. And, there is only ONE person who can cast those demons out of our lives. Satan himself, as powerful as he may be, has nothing against God! So, the little things that can be demons in our lives~ such as our time or our money/possessions~ really have no hold on us at all, if we release them and put our focus on God.

I'm sure we'll be seeing more of Donna Dawson's work on bookstore shelves in the near future!
