I love the way you interact with what you read. I guess, for me, I didn't connect the end as specifically to prayer as you did. When I read your comment on Monday about deus ex machina, however, I decided to write a post about it myself—over at <a href="http://specfaith.ritersbloc.com/2009/05/20/what-constitutes-deus-ex-machina.aspx" rel="nofollow">Spec Faith</a>. I think someone else mentioned it, too, but for the life of me, when I sat down to write the post, I couldn't remember the exact comments or who wrote them (thus no link to your site—sorry! :-( ) Anyway, I definitely think the end was earned, and I concluded Mr. Lawhead's foreshadowing allowed the events to be a surprise but not unexpected. Becky Good post, Rachel. I love the way you interact with what you read.
