The 49th Mystic by Ted Dekker (Beyond the Circle #1)
In keeping with Dekker's writing style, "The 49th Mystic" uses an allegory to squarely address spiritual principles. However, make no mistake - it is NOTHING like your grandma's Bible study. Instead, Dekker prefers to challenge the status quo - the often unquestioned perceptions of God and His view of humanity long held by Christian institutions. In this book, he explores the boundaries of God's love and tests the possibilities of power that may be experienced if a believer dares to throw out social biases and genuinely get to know the Creator of the universe. I cannot say that I necessarily agree with every assertion that he presents if followed to their ultimate conclusions, but I do respect the passion with which he pursues truth. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who gets tired of cookie cutter faith and longs for the freshness experienced by the early church.
