Have you lost a child? |
Have you ever lost a child?
For anyone who has ever lost a child, this is a very comforting book. If God is a God of love, why would he not intervene to save an innocent child's life? Perhaps we don't realise that in many cases he has done just that—but what about those times when the child died, as a result of an accident, cot death, or, worst case scenario, through abuse and murder? Well, read this book, for I believe the author has made a valiant and valid attempt to justify the ways of God to man (if indeed God, being God, needs to be justified). The story, initially, is gripping and fast moving. My wife thought the book would be too frightening to read—but it is not frightening. If anything, I found it loses momentum a little in the dramatisation of theological and ethical premises. I would give the story away if I expounded on this—so advise you to read the book for yourself. In the end, you won't be disappointed. I found nothing in the book—a novel, actually—that conflicts with the bible's teachings of love and relationships. In the end, there is no theology, or religion, just a wonderful relationship with a loving and patient God, who lives outside and yet inside time. Well, if you're fed up with religion, with Christianity, with your church, or indeed with God—read this book. It might change your perspective of Him - and your relationship with Him. Which, of course, is what the Gospel, the message of John 3:16, is all about. — Charles Muller, Diadem Books. (www.diadembooks.com)
