The Man in the Dark: A Romance

Paperback

Breath of fresh air

Though a woman of 33 years, I am never inclined to read romance novels as they always follow the same format Hallmark uses for all of their films- mushy, gushy & empty. DW did not, of course, download the Christian romance novel template and proceed. Instead, what we have here is a delightful, charming gospel-centered story that I enjoyed throughly at every turn. Laughter & intrigue mingle with a handful of scenarios giving me pause for sanctification in my own heart. Loved it. Have given copies to friends and relatives.

Paperback

Great fun read!

I can honestly say that I never expected a romance book to include supralapsarianism in it! Great book full of mystery and clean romance.

Paperback

Great novel!

I’m not usually a fan of fiction, but Doug Wilson has won me over with this one. It was engaging to the end. I’ve read three more of his novels since.

Paperback

Great!

This book was captivating and engaging the entire time! Definitely would recommend.

The Man in the Dark

I am not a romance reader, so I had low expectations when exposed to it. Silly me!
After I listened to the book in audio on the Canon App, I ordered a hard copy!
Also, I'm a big softy for a lady with a good throwing arm!

Paperback

Literally one of my favorite books!! I hope that Doug Wilson writes more romance novels!!

A Christian's Answer to The Scarlet Letter

There are many things that I enjoyed about this novel. First, it was an engaging story: it is partly crime fiction, partly a love story, and partly a historical fiction about the early days of the Pacific Northwest. I appreciated that Pastor Doug used this story as a vehicle to praise or satirize different characteristics (the humble pastor versus the arrogant bank president, etc.). The novel feels almost like a sermon on virtues and vices (in a good way!). There is also an apologetical section, in which an unbelieving character willingly hears the gospel from a pastor. Lastly, as an English teacher, I found it interesting that the story might be a Christian's answer to Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter. (I do not know if Pastor Doug intended this, but the comparison is certainly there in the two main characters, and I know that he has written an essay on The Scarlet Letter.) Highly recommended!

Paperback

Thank you

Well done. It is amazing what great fiction can do for your heart, soul, and attitudes. So refreshingly entertaining and uplifting.

Paperback

Great Read!

I never read romance novels. Too cheesy. Always the same plot. But this one interested me as the Author is a theologian and pastor. I gave it a read and it was captivating all the way through! Highly recommend!

Paperback

Refreshing

This is not a trite, formulaic romance novel. I enjoyed this novel so much, it actually reignited my appetite for fiction, that I bought this copy as a Christmas gift for someone else.

Paperback

The Man in the Dark

Excellent read! Well developed characters and an increasingly interesting plot.

Paperback

Just getting into it but captivated

The book is such a cool picture of the scenarios that can play out in life. It’s descriptive to know the characters. I am enjoying it.

Audiobook

Stirring!

'Twas a horrid book. I couldn't put it down except to find a tissue with which to wipe the tears of joy out of my eyes. I wouldn't recommend it to old people since there's a lot of action and riveting love-scenes which might upset their sensibilities and give them a bad case of cardiac arrest.
