Berkley The Begotten, Gifted Series #1
At the height of the Inquisition, a secret, half a millennium old, is about to be exposed - a lost letter said to have been written by Paul and part of what was to become the foundation of the Christian canon. It speaks of the men and women - the Gifted - with mysterious spiritual gifts that struck fear in the heart of the Church. Now the letter has resurfaced. The Gifted ones are coming together. Their prophecy is coming true.

Excellent. Could not put it down. I purchased the series of The Gifted after reading Lisa's novel The Captain's Bride. Lisa's research for this series is very well done, which makes her novels educational as well as enjoyable. I'm looking forward to taking The Betrayed & The Blessed on holidays.

I loved this series. It took a few chapters in the first book and I almost quit reading. But I would say that this is one of my absolute favorite series of all time. I loved the characters and I was deeply touched by the faith and the character of the "Gifted" and their mission. Her book sent me to the Scriptures more than once. I have never read a book/series twice but someday I might break my record and go back and re-read this one. Definitely a page turner. My first time reading Bergren - I will be checking out more of her books.

Absolutely spell-binding! Be careful, you won't want to put this book down once you begin reading it! One of the thrilling things about Lisa Bergren's books is that each of her series is so different, but each one is such awesome reading!

The Begotten is another wonderful historical fiction about a few people who are called to use gifts God gives them for a special assignment and brings them together as "The Gifted". Then enemy (a sorcerer) is bringing evil to the cities and even into the church but God wants to use His "Gifted" to show His power His way and that evil will not prevail. It is well written and hard to put down.

Review 7 for The Begotten, Gifted Series #1
Overall Rating:
Date:September 24, 2007
A betrayed noblewoman, her mute freed slave and her devoted white falcon, Bormeo find themselves drawn in to an old priest's belief that she, Lady Dario d'Angelo has a holy gift, one of healing and is chosen by God to impact the world as one of his Gifted. While mystified by Father Piero's message, Daria thoughts are transformed when God uses her to heal a nun's mangled hand. Journeying back to her home town of Siena, Daria saves the life of a Captain of the Vatican Guard, Gianni de Capezzana, a man of great faith and God's gathering of the Gifted has begun.Sought after by the church hoping to harness the Gifted's power for its own gain while being hunted by an evil Sorcerer bent on the destruction of God's people, this unlikely group of believers seek out an ancient prophecy to guide their way and protect the world from an insidious evil.I was enjoyably engaged in the first seven chapters of The Begotten but as the action and suspense started to build I was totally committed to this intriguing tale of faith, rich in history with mesmerising characterisation. Lisa Tawn Bergren's extensive research is obvious with fascinating detail of the political and spiritual climate of Italy in the 1300's. Her pacing of the suspense and adventure is perfectly timed for a downright captivating and challenging read. Lisa's villain is just as well drawn as the members of the Gifted, each one captivating me with their unique abilities, unique personalities and differing faith journeys. Amidst the intrigue, whispers of romance and swordplay is a message of faith and the importance of God's timing in our lives not to be missed. Containing all the ingredients for an epic thriller, this series appeals to both men and women and I can't recommend it enough!

Phil
This is a great story of humble servants discovering their spiritual gifts and wrestling with an inconvenient calling. The fantasy is couched within the limits of accepted Christian theology and known church history. A small group of Christians discovers that each member of their group is extrordinarily endowed with one of the biblically listed spiritual gifts. Their extreme gifting is apparently part of a prophecy. They have been raised up by God at the dawn of the protestant reformation for some purpose that none of them understand. As they discover their gifts, they also discover that there are forces of evil arrayed against them. The rather abrupt ending leaves you longing for the next book in the series.
