Title: The Salvation Of Dr Who
Author: Mike Rawle
Genre: Nonfiction, Devotional, Biblical, Bible Study, Television Show, Christian.
Plot: Connecting the dots between a classic secular British television show and the Bible is a tricky thing to do but pastor Mike Rawle manages to pull it off relatively successfully. This isn't a traditional devotional with verses and short bite-sized chapters but it can be used in addition to other while watching Doctor Who and looking up the reference verses in your handy Bible.
Doctor Who a long-running science fiction show about an ancient alien who uses humor, knowledge and a profound dislike for violence to save the day from nasty invading foes. There is a lot of good to be found buried in this show and connecting it to Christ's messages isn't necessarily hard to achieve. Most readers will read this and then go watch the show.
Likes/Dislikes: Fans of Doctor Who will adore this book. I personally didn't see a huge appeal beyond going, "Oh, it's about Doctor Who." But that's okay, I don't feel like I was the target audience. I still enjoyed reading the bits about the older episodes of the show and how you can see good in a secular interest.
Rating: PG-13 and up, mainly for reading level.
