This book was one of the worst books I have ever read. I get that Jan's love for Helen in the story was a metaphor for Christ's love for us, but it was poorly written. More often than not, Jan seemed like a wimp and a man in heat. It didnt seem genuine love, but lust. The book was overly romantic, and I thought it was a poor representation of God's love for us. I do not recommend this book to anyone. DONT GET IT, IT ISNT WORTH IT!!!

This was an awesome book. It really made me think about Christ's love for me and how my sins hurt him. An excellent read!!

I reordered this book to replace the one I loaned to a friend and never got back! This is the strongest story in the trilogy (but all three books are worth the read.) I couldn't put this book down the first time I read it - and found nuances I had missed the second time. This is the complete story that "Martyr's Song" comes from. If you read "Martyr's Song," I urge you to read this one - it fills in the story and makes it come to new life within the complete setting as it was originally written by Ted Dekker.

This was my first experience with a Dekker novel. When Heaven Weeps is a story that, all too often, grows old and less precious to the Christian. Dekker, however, manages to refresh the concept of grace and undeserved love masterfully. I found myself unable to continue reading several times due to the emotional response this novel evokes. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and will be on the lookout for more of Ted Dekker's work.
