Although I saw the analogy of the God/Demon theme coming, I wish there hadn't been such an imbalance in descriptions with the prior two books.  MUCH too much detail went into scripture and the "right vs. wrong" admonition.  It ended up being weighed down by the details and missed a lot of plot and character connections I was hoping for.  I too am a believer but was really uncomfortable with the volume of quoted and implied scripture.  I felt it actually detracted from the story.I still find the relationship between Jaden and Evelyn troubling.  I can understand having issues early on in a relationship that need to be ironed out, but really, this gives a false impression of what works in a good relationship.  Evelyn is constantly berating and selfish.  (Not a good candidate for a great relationship.)  We finally get to see a change for the better in Jaden, but no character development for Evelyn.  Although she becomes a believer, she remains selfish, self centered, argumentative, and whiny.  Ugh!As for grammar and punctuation, OMG!  Get an editor!  No matter what I think of the story (which I believe still has merit), I would not be able to recommend this to any of my friends.  It is just too embarrassing to pass on.  I can overlook some errors, but this went well beyond "some."  While reading, there were actually instances where I gave up trying to figure out what was being said and skipped over it.  The incorrect use of punctuation was an absolute hindrance to the flow.  Also, improper grammar, wrong word usage, and too many typos detracted from the enjoyment of reading a good story.
