Deliver Us From Evil (In The Shadow Of The Mountain
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
A fabulous book, which is full of Armenian History, Religion and above all the horrible genocide perpetrated by the Turkish government on the Armenian minority on their own ancestral lands. A novel indeed, but nothing is fictionalized. Although it does not convey completely the suffering of the Armenian people, no other novel will ever be able to do that. The book is full of suspense and adventure, that of the brave American Consul, the main character, the slaved women of Hekim Khan. It is so well written that almost reads like a movie script. This book will make a great movie, rivaling any movie which depicts adventure, daring, danger, love, compassion, cruelty, famine, and self-sacrifice for the sake of less fortunate people.
Great historical fiction story of the Armenian Genocide
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This is a great book; it is light reading telling a story of those caught in the Armenian Genocide of 1915. It is historically very accurate, and actually gives the reader more insight into what was going in Turkey during the Genocide than many other books on the subject. It deals with many of the feelings and spiritual struggles that Armenians must have been going through during the horrific times, and it unbiasedly looks at the attitudes that Armenians and Turks had towards each other. This is a great Christian book for those knowing little about the subject and a good book for those already familiar with the history to examine the personal and spiritual issues that survivors must have gone through.
Very good reading!

I read this book twice because it took me twice to really take it all in. The heart of man is only evil continually, but this book inspires believers to stand for their faith in the most awful circumstances. This is excellent history of a holocaust little mentioned, and I learned a lot about the Armenians, the Turks, and the Kurds, which helps explain the conflict that continues among them today. I will certainly read other books by this author.
