(More customer reviews)This is a simple, and simply profound tale, that continues D.S. Lliteras's modern examination of the beginnings of Christianity. Readers of the author's other Biblical Tales will be rewarded and fascinated by the way those other works resonate in this one. But knowledge of them is not essential in appreciating this, which stands well alone. Master of Secrets tells the story of a young boy, Addan, who loses his family in the aftermath of the crucifixion of Jesus. He meets up with the book's main character, the mystical and charismatic Jeshua, and the two begin a journey that is both literal and metaphorical.
This work quietly gathers strength as it unfolds, and by its end has a effective message of love at all costs - the message of Christ himself. Lliteras remains a master of dialogue, and this work, like his others, offers rewards in a second reading. I love two quotes in this book, one where an old woman laments, "Let there be something I can understand," and later the character Dinah states "There can be truth and goodness without God."
The author deserves so much credit: his goal is nothing less that a revitalization of the basic, original principles of Christianity.
