| Begotten is an edited, new edition of a novel previously released in 2006, The Begotten. At the height of the Inquisition, a secret half a millennium old is about to be exposed---a lost letter believed to have been written by Saint Paul but never part of the Christian canon. The letter speaks of men and women---the Gifted---with profound spiritual gifts that will strike fear in the heart of a Church dedicated to maintaining power. Now the letter has surfaced and the Gifted are gathering. But so are their enemies...

My Review
Danger lurks on every side of this motley group...
Well.... That was definitely much different than I expected! But then, Lisa T. Bergren is pretty good at surprising people and she has a talent for crossing genres. Begotten was different from any other book that I've read by her but that only made it more interesting.
What really fascinated me about this story was Lisa T. Bergren's skillful, not to mention surprising, blend of historical romance, Catholic tradition, and what really threw me, spiritual warfare. Over the years I've read a number of novels featuring spiritual warfare, authors like Frank Peretti, Ted Dekker, Bill Myers, Angela Hunt, but pretty much all of them were 'contemporary' making Begotten the first with that particular topic as a central theme
Begotten was intriguing on all fronts, as a historical romance, as a spiritual warfare novel, and as a story of faith. It's also a good wake-up call reminding us that all times are uncertain and that we are all called to live lives of prayer and faith, that we all have gifts that are meant to be used in service to others and for God's glory. Not bad, author Lisa T. Bergren, not bad. This book sure gets a person thinking, contemplating, not to mention wondering The Gifted will be taken next in book two...
Tell Tale Book Reviews gives Begotten by Lisa T. Bergren a Bark rating.
