Demon: A Memoir by Tosca Lee

I picked up Demon: A Memoir because I found out that Ted Dekker would be co-authoring his next series with Tosca Lee.

And when you learn something like that, you have to find out what qualified her to write with the best.

Told is first person, Demon is about a editor named Clay who has just gone through a divorce and still has trouble dealing with it. He enters a diner after work one night and is joined by a man who knows things about him.

They begin to have several conversations in which Clay realizes this is a demon who calls himself Lucian.

Lucian wants Clay to write and publish his memoirs.

Beginning before The Fall of Lucifer and the other angels, you'll get the story from the perspective of a fallen angel who views humanity with contempt.

While Clay meets with Lucian, life continues to unravel for him and he begins to realize that this memoir may be closer to reality than it sounds.

Demon is an interesting look at the full story of reconciliation from the viewpoint of the fallen. It asks the question, "How would you feel if you could watch those "chosen" people take such a gracious gift and spit in God's face over and over".

This would make a great Book Club read.
