From the Back Cover

Ancient language expert Samantha Yale returns to translate a new batch of scrolls written by the fallen angel from Lucifer's Flood.

Samantha Yale has taken on a daunting translation project. A set of scrolls, delivered by a man she knows nothing about, tells a fascinating and frightening tale of what went on behind the scenes of biblical history. What is even more incredible is who is telling the tale--a fallen angel who immediately regretted his decision to side with Lucifer.

With The Deliverer, Linda Rios Brook brings new depth of imagery into the spirit world. It is a story about rebellion and consequences. It is about demonic strategy to disrupt and destroy the people of God. But ultimately, it is a story about the unrelenting love, grace, mercy, and determination of a sovereign God in pursuit of His children.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another Winner in the Reluctant Demon Diaries, August 18, 2009

By	Richard R. Blake (Bridgman, Michigan) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

Reminiscent of the C. S. Lewis classic "Screw-tape Letters" Linda Rios Brook has created a fresh perspective in relating the Biblical account of Israel's history from the time of Moses through to the days of Joshua's leadership, relating these stories from the Bible to spiritual warfare.

"The Deliverer" is the second book in the Reluctant Demon Dairies series. The unique feature of the series is the narrator. The story is told as seen through the eyes of an eyewitness to the events related throughout this fictional account of Biblical history.

Ancient-Language expert Samantha Yale has been entrusted with a set of ancient scrolls. As Samantha translates the scrolls a behind the scenes account of the life of Moses is unveiled. The writer is a fallen angel who laments the day he first listened to Lucifer.

Brook is gifted in creating incredible word pictures and mental images that remain engrafted on the reader's mind, opening new vistas of insight into the spirit world, demonic strategy, and the price paid for pursuing evil. Brook then conveys her understanding and personal acquaintance with the depths of God's love, grace, and mercy.

"The Deliverer" will appeal to young adult readers who have taken pleasure in the recent popular trend of books which deal with the themes of heaven and hell and spiritual warfare. Readers of Brooks earlier book "Lucifer's Flood" will also enjoy this highly imaginative, entertaining, informational, and inspiring sequel. A phenomenal read.

By	K. Howe (Baltimore, MD) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

i am usually a thriller kind of girl. I started reading the first book in the series, Lucifer's Flood thinking that it was a thriller. LOVED that book and imediately searched out the deliverer and priority shipped it. Loved that book as well. the only irritating thing is that it ends without ending and i cannot find a third book... i dont think its out yet!

4.0 out of 5 stars Fallen angel's tale of Moses gives fresh pespective, June 10, 2009

By	Christina Lockstein "http://christysbookblog.... (Oconto Falls, WI USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

The Deliverer by Linda Rios Brook is the second book in the Reluctant Demon series following Lucifer Flood. A researcher is given a strange set of cuneiform scrolls that hold a fascinating story that may give insight into the past. Where did they come from and who wants them to be found? Brook offers a fresh take on the oft-told story of Moses as through the eyes of a fallen angel who has been assigned by Satan the job of watching the Hebrews in their slavery. The story follows the books of Exodus through Joshua and are very intriguing. At first I had a hard time really getting into the spirit of the book. It's not like standard biblical fiction, the "writer" is a demon, with an agenda and a bias, so the story doesn't always skew the way the reader would expect. Sometimes it comes off a bit flippant, and I had a hard time with some of the anachronistic language. Who knew that there werecuneiform for "See ya, wouldn't want to be ya" and "metrosexual "? But with more reading, the book won me over with its sense of humor and original point of view. The story sticks to Scripture closely while allowing the reader to see what spiritual warfare looks like. This is a book I would highly recommend to high school students who want an unprecedented look at an age old story told in their own language.
