Memories and life events that just disappear, supernatural adventures, a touch of romance, and even spiritually moving experiences. What more could you ask for in a book? Throughout the book you get to go through the life of Micah Taylor and his abnormal adventures in his Cannon Beach house with its many strange rooms. In Rooms, you learn how Micah is able to break the chains of his life and fully experience it with the love that Jesus has given him.

It has lots of bible verses, like Matthew 13:44-46 (“The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it.” - Bible Gateway), that give relatable examples to our life now. In Matthew 13:44-46, it shows that Jesus is worth giving up everything (meaning old habits, bad memories, the things that please you in life, and even physical items) just like Micah did literally. Another one is Matthew 16:25-26 (“For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it. What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?” - Bible Gateway). In The Message version of the Bible, it says, “You’re not in the driver’s seat; I am. Don’t run from suffering; embrace it. Follow me and I’ll show you how.” It really shows you that you just need to put your trust in Jesus and let him take the reigns in your life. On the other hand, Rooms also shows us that our biggest enemy is the devil and can often be confused as our own voice. But with the power of Christ we can defeat him and will be able to accept the full love of Christ. A lot of these things can help growing Christians really understand what a relationship with God is
