Book of Dreams (#01 in Dream Series)

Elena Burroughs is a clinical psychologist with a best-selling book on dream interpretation. Still grieving the unexpected death of her husband five years previously, she's retreated into her comfortable world. All that changes when a mysterious woman arrives with her bodyguards and tells Elena of a recurring nightmare that has robbed her of sleep for more than three weeks. Soon afterwards, Elena becomes the heir to a book of dreams that is hundreds of years old and is plunged into a world of power, intrigue, secrets, and heartache where standing up for what's right can cost your life. However, stepping out of her comfort zone and trusting God also brings a new sense of purpose and a love she thought she would never taste again. \\n\\nDavis Bunn writes beautifully and I love the way he weaves faith into his stories. Several characters are challenged to see beyond their own circumstances and trust that God is working on their behalf even though their situations seem hopeless. I found my own faith being spurred on as the group learned to trust God, hear his voice, and follow his mission for their lives. The resolution is very satisfying and I had to smile at the interesting turn on the final page. \\n\\nThis book has something for everyone - great characters, original plot, current issues surrounding the aftermath of the global financial crisis, supernatural encounters, secrets and mysteries, faith issues, social justice, and a touch of romance. A very enjoyable and satisfying…

There are many titles I could think of for this book. It is fast paced, has many aspects to it. The hand down of """"The Book"""" and the way it was woven into the story I liked. This adds a little 'fantasy' into the story line. The financial area could take this book into the 'last days' realm. Let us not forget the hint of romance of our heroin. There is no doubt as the Davis Bunn's ability to tell a spellbinding story. \\r\\nI gave it only 4 stars because I wanted the book to be longer, it could have explored the personal relationships more, given more details once the crisis was over. Well perhaps that is why there is a second book. \\r\\n
