In Scott B. Delaney's novel "The Tiger’s Eye: Angels in Mumbai," Andrew Morrison moves to Mumbai to join the Global Calling Ministry after surviving a traumatic kidnapping. As he immerses himself in the ministry's work, such as organizing a large rally, Mumbai faces a devastating extremist attack. Amidst the chaos, divine intervention by angels transforms tragedy into moments of redemption and renewed faith, blending themes of Christian spirituality with supernatural elements against the colorful backdrop of India.
 
The narrative goes beyond action and supernatural events to vividly depict India's cultural diversity, showcasing landscapes, festivals like Holi, and societal contrasts. Characters like Trevor are notable for their resilience and steadfast faith amidst peril and unpredictability. Delaney adeptly intertwines Bible verses and spiritual motifs, adding depth to the storyline and emphasizing the triumph of righteousness over adversity.
 
The novel enthralls readers with its dynamic storytelling, resonant themes of redemption, and vibrant portrayal of spiritual conflict in a modern context. It appeals to enthusiasts of Christian fiction and supernatural thrillers alike, delivering a profound exploration of faith and divine intervention amid worldly trials. The book is excellently edited.
 
One aspect of the book I dislike is the complexity and rapid introduction of numerous characters and subplots. The novel ambitiously weaves together various storylines, from Andrew’s struggles to the geopolitical tensions and spiritual conflicts involving multiple characters. Based on these reasons, I rate the book 4 out of 5 stars.
 
A notable feature of the book is its depiction of divine intervention through angelic characters. Sanjay's transformation stands out as he navigates between loyalty to extremism and newfound faith upon encountering angels. His journey from indoctrinated recruit to a force for justice and redemption, guided by spiritual revelations and divine presence, underscores the novel's theme of God’s transformative power and mercy. This narrative not only enriches the storyline but also powerfully illustrates the potential for profound change and grace in challenging situations.
 
I recommend this book to fans of Christian fiction intertwined with supernatural elements and profound spiritual themes. It's ideal for those drawn to stories of redemption, divine intervention, and faith.
