Wonders Never Cease by Tim Downs


Does Leah truly see angels or are they figments of a damaged mind or an over-active imagination? Do angels even exist, and if they don’t, why are people so excited to read about them? Liv Hadyen’s best-selling novel It’s All About You is a run-away success, but the story behind the novel is one of greed and stupidity in a tale of both selfishness and hope. Tim Downs’ carefully-crafted characters are easy to both like and dislike. From the mysterious Emmett to the irascible Kemp, Downs creates people who come alive as you read. While the twists in this book weren’t all that surprising they were no less satisfying. And the premise of Liv Hayden’s successful novel leads to the comparison of a self-centered life (it’s all about you) to the one Rick Warren shows us in The Purpose Driven Life (it’s not about you). This is the first Downs novel I have read and I found myself checking out the other titles at the end of my edition. I would recommend this novel to anyone.
