Prophet by R.J. Larson (Kindle Version)

Prophet
Book #1 of the Books of the Infinite

I got this eBook free from Amazon and really liked it.  You see, I got the 2nd book free from Bethany House for a review.  It was called "Judge" and I absolutely loved it!!!
Of course once I found out it was a series, I wanted to read the first one.  Kind of started reading out of the natural order but I found it made for a better foundation of what I read in Judge.
This is really the start of it all, when The Infinite called a new prophet, Ela.  It came against all previous standards.  She had so many so called "things" against her possibly being called into this position for God.  Being a girl, being young, a novice, not being trained by any kind of religious order, were things that offended some people; especially the religious.   But it was proven over and over that she had been chosen to perform the will of The Infinite, the Creator.
This book was easy to read, there was a great flow to it and the urge to not put it down until I had finished.  Sometimes this kind of imagery can be hard to get across to the reader, but I didn't find that the case in this book.  I found it uplifting and enjoyed the "inner" conversations between Ela and her Creator as well as her sense of His Presence.
If anyone has said, not enough action in it, my answer is continue into the next book, Judge, you'll find more there.  So far Judge is my favorite but I also needed this book but it wasn't hard to enjoy it too!!!
Did I tell you that book #3 is on pre-order through Amazon?  They are saying that "King" will be released July 1, 2013.  Will I be reading it?  You betcha!!
