Book Review: The Lasko Interview by Clay Jacobsen
Somehow, the characters in Clay Jacobsen's The Lasko Interview
all seemed familiar to me, as if I have met them in a story somewhere before. Throughout the book, I thought maybe the same characters had been featured in other Jacobsen books, but I was mistaken. I guess that speaks to the success of Jacobsen's story-telling prowess in The Lasko Interview. It isn't often that a reader feels so familiar with a story as to have a sort of deja vu sense about a book he has never read and characters he has never met.In The Lasko Interview, Jacobsen's very familiar Rick Treadway, an out of work television director and struggling Christian, finds himself caught in the midst of a murder mystery as a former co-worker turns up dead of an apparent suicide in his own home study. The deceased's misfortune becomes Rick's good fortune as he is chosen to replace him as the new director of a popular night time talk show. But Rick's good fortune quickly turns on him as he is mysteriously accused of killing the man to get the job.
Jacobsen weaves a seamless tale of mystery and suspense with one of a man who finds his relationship with God suddenly taking the most important place in his life. As Rick Treadway grows in his faith, advances in his career, and ignites a potential new love interest, the author subtly addresses some important issues with the church today. While Sunday services have commonly become about nothing more than what the people can do to make the church successful, many churches have taken to smaller study groups, or house churches, to connect with each other and with God in a more intimate way. Jacobsen's Treadway deals with the confusion of what the church really is, as many have found themselves doing lately.
While most modern day Christian fiction delivers either such a vague message that it's easily missed or such a blatant message that there is no storyline, Clay Jacobsen manages to take the reader into a compelling murder mystery while provoking him to think about faith and religion at the same time. Kudos to Jacobsen for doing that which so many Christian authors fail to achieve today.
To sum it up: Read this book!

I have removed my Craigslist postings (mentioned below). The first day after posting, I received 25 SPAM emails offering to help me sell my merchandise. Come on, really?

I've got some great items for sale right now on Craigslist (check out the links at the top of the sidebar to the right.
Great things for sale, like a Garmin iQue 3600 GPS w/PDA. This one is a hard one to part with, but some things just have to be parted with.

Book Review: Deadlock by Robert Liparulo
Robert Liparulo introduced us to John Hutchinson in Deadfall, and his hero returns in Deadlock
, still obsessed, and still fighting the evil he first encountered in Deadfall.Having defeated Declan Page and his fire from Heaven weapon in Canada's Northwest Territory, John "Hutch" Hutchinson is still not convinced that Brendan Page -- billionaire Special Forces veteran, American military contractor, and father of Declan Page -- had no involvement in his son's Canadian reign of terror. So obsessed, in fact, is Hutch that his son has grown to feel neglected by Hutch.
When Hutch agrees to meet with Brendan Page in his commando-style military compound, everything goes wrong, and the hunter -- and his family and friends -- quickly become the hunted. As Robert Liparulo has done so far in each of his books, he takes the reader on a thrill ride in Deadlock that will find you literally immersed in the story. I would be surprised if you don't complete this book faster than nearly every other book you've ever read.
