Green is book zero of the Circle Series, being the beginning and the end of the series.  Green focuses on Thomas Hunter, his family and the, relatively, small group of believers that gather in a future where spiritual reality has physical manifestation.  To give more information may give away plot points, which is not my goal.

Being a huge fan of Ted Dekker and specifically the Circle Series, this book was an appropriate conclusion of the series and, ironically, a near perfect beginning.   The story, occurring 10 years after White, is frustrating to people who've read the rest of the series, but that is a good thing.  It brings out this emotion because you see what is happening and you want to scream at the characters.

Mr. Dekker, indeed, knows how to capture spiritual truth and create a compelling allegory that will blow the mind of any reader.

After reading Green, I'm now compelled to go back and read Black, Red, White and then Green again.  Green, in light of the whole series, makes me hunger and thirst after the love of God all the more.

Ultimately, I would recommend Green to anyone who is a fan of The Lord of the Rings or Chronicles of Narnia, or anyone who is willing to learn through a singularly compelling allegory.   I am one of those and I would give this book, and the entire series for that matter, 5 big stars and a high five to Mr. Dekker.

Eph 3:14-21

14 For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, 16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, 17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height-- 19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. 20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, 21 to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

Ted Dekker does it again with another amazing book.

The Circle Trilogy has been my favorite series of books since I first read it, supplanting the Chronicles of Narnia and The Lord of the Rings. When I first heard that Green was coming out and that it was going to be both the beginning and the end of the series, I was skeptical at best. How do you end a story and start it in the same book? Well, Ted pulls it off masterfully.

Green is the true beginning and appropriate ending to this absolutely life changing series.
