Choung's True Story Not Told Well

Annabelle Robertson — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 05:00:00 GMT

Clearly, James Choung has something important to say in True Story. The problem is that he doesn’t say it well. A divisional director of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, he’s an excellent scholar and probably a great speaker as well.

It is still among the top ten sellers at Amazon.com. And when it receives a glowing endorsement from a scholar whom I respect, like Eugene Peterson, it is not a phenomenon that discerning Christians can ignore.

Strike the Dragon is not a novel I can only recommend to those who really love stories of political intrigue and terrorism and don’t mind writing that can be somewhat didactic. It’s not likely to become a favorite, but for some it might be worth the read.
