Right from the start "The Jesus Cure" caught my attention and kept it as I got swept up in this unique novel that managed to entertain me while offering thought-provoking insights into life, Jesus Christ as a person and the struggles of finding balance in a life devoid of meaning. Ron T. Deloy does a wonderful job of weaving the story using strong dialogue, an intriguing narrative tone and authentic characters that excite and intrigue in equal turns. The novel is well-written with vivid imagery, a truly original plot and a clear path that manages to be insightful, thoughtful and emotionally charged.The story centers around Tony, a man who has finds himself lacking an emotional connection after his wife leaves him and this drives his secretary to do something drastic... to send him to the Holy Land where he ends up not only finding himself and a beautiful woman by the name of Miri, but he ends up delving into the mind, thoughts and actions of Jesus Christ during his time on Earth as well. The story really has a charming tone of exploration and self-discovery; it is equal parts therapy and historical exploration as the characters and the author gather their stride from the very beginning.Overall, this was an engaging and very unique story that grabbed my attention and kept it all the way through. It left a distinct impression on me long after I finished it and was well worth the read.
