| Subject: The Begotten & The Betrayed Blog Tour!!! |
 
Quick Synopsis of The Begotten: When the Church compiled wrote the Christian canon, it is possible that they left some of Paul's letters out. Now, in Book 1 of The Gifted series, in 1339, a letter that is half a millennium old has resurfaced, telling of a group of people with special spiritual gifts called the Gifted. Now the Gifted must find each other and band together against the people who wish to destroy them out of fear, as well as the deadly Sorcerer, Satan's minion. While they struggle to stay alive, they work to uncover a secret that will determine the ultimate fate of the world. Paperback
My personal little note::::
I always tell everyone, that I will read anything but sci-fi and books. I even kind of put off reading the book for a couple of days until I finished my other one. But after I dove into "The Begotten" I was surely hooked and quickly started The Betrayed by Lisa T. Bergren, I knew I couldn't put it down, It was all I could think about and talk about to my family. I was on a reading mission. I was drawn to it like bees on honey. Now I'm so excited for Book 3 "The Blessed" coming out in 08', that I can hardly stand it.
Quick Synopsis of The Betrayed: A religious thriller. An epic historical. An award-winning author with one million books in print. Second in the breathtaking trilogy. The first book in Lisa T. Bergren's Gifted trilogy, The Begotten, was hailed by Library Journal as "a full-bodied, absorbing tale that combines authentic historical detail with a universally appealing and gripping story that will have readers cheering." Now the breathtaking quest of the spiritually empowered Gifted ones-prophesized in a long-lost illuminated letter from the apostle Paul-continues as the healer, the priest, and the knight gather together to fight a battle in a profound new war. For the enemies of the Gifted are gathering, led by an evil lord who will do anything to destroy their unwavering faith. Hardcover
They’ll be featured in Target stores September 4th on the Breakout Books display!!!!!!

9/07 Before I was finished:::::
I personally am reading the first book now. I have to tell you, I haven't really read this kind of book that much. With the historical setting and the way she describes her characters, WOW!!! I don't know how to describe it. It is good reading. It is not light, easy reading, but a more intense type of story that you can't put down.
There are a couple of things that happen right at the beginning of the story that capture you and don't let you go.
9/07 Reading book II
I'm half way done with "The Betrayed". I'm sooooooo hooked, I'm going to be gnawing my finger nails until the next book in 2008 hits the shelves, hee!! hee!!
I had never read any of Lisa's books before, and I'm so thankful, and blessed, that the lord led me to them. If you enjoy a good read. Well written!!!! Super Researched!!! Suspense around every corner, more then intriguing!!!!, then this is the book for you. I love how this book talks so much about absolute faith.
I have been telling my friends and my family about this book, and now I'm telling you too!!!

I checked out Mike Dellosso's blogged his interview with Lisa Bergen, it was amazing. I liked it so much, I'm putting the link here:::::
http://www.mikedellosso.blogspot.com/"The Begotten" and "The Betrayed"
Please go to Sept. 8th. You will be happy you did.
And very, very soon, I will have the privilege of hosting Lisa Bergen who wrote "The Begotten" and "The Betrayed".
Lisa wrote this tidbit:
"I came up with the series concept after reading The Da Vinci Code, and thinking long and hard about the things I both loved (pacing, mystery, suspense) and hated (heresy that made me want to throw it against a wall). I also was heavily influenced by the Lord of the Rings trilogy on film—the grandeur of an epic story, with a cast of characters, deeper symbolism, adventure. So I started talking to my friends who know Scripture, and I asked them about a good biblical mystery…two mentioned the “previous letters” mentioned by Paul in 1 Corinthians and I was off and running."
"Considering that Paul talks a lot about spiritual gifts in his letters to the Corinthians, I gave my characters all the unique and powerful spiritual gifts he mentioned in the Scriptures—healing, prophecy, wisdom, faith, miraculous powers—and placed them in perilous times, the 14th century, pre-Reformation, pre-Renaissance. My Gifted are hunted both by the Church, who seeks to control them, and forces of evil, who wish to kill them. All in all, I think it makes for a classic Good vs. Evil read—with inspiration and application for us in the 21st century."
Lisa's bio: Lisa Tawn Bergren is the author of 28 books, with over 1.3 million sold. She is a publishing consultant, writer, Bible study leader, mother and wife. Her hobbies include travel (mostly from an armchair), reading, watching movies, cooking and exploring with her family.

I have never been on a blog tour but I'm going to try it out.
A little about me.
My name is Jackie, I'm from the Pacific Northwest. I grew up on the Umpqua River and went to a teeny tiny school. Then grew up and joined the ranks of the city folks. I'm a Christian and love my family. I've been married for a couple of decades plus..... and my daughter just turned 21 yesterday.
I can't wait to receive the books for this blog tour and get started!!!!
Blessings,
Jackie |
