Excerpts:
Prelude
The
almighty Father stormed into the room as a mighty rushing wind. As
His very presence passed by, each servant stood at attention as they
lined His pathway. Gabriel followed Him very closely and spoke:
“Lord, I don’t understand.”
The
Father stopped midway and turned to Gabriel and gave a declaration.
“The Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings.
You shall trample the wicked, for they shall be ashes under the
soles of your feet on the day that I do this. It is warfare, Gabriel.
Remember the Law of Moses, My servant, which I commanded him in Horeb
for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments. Behold, I will send
Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day.
And he will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the
hearts of the children to their fathers.”
The
Father continued toward His seat. He sat in heaven exasperated. He
turned and looked at His Son, who was looking down at Earth. “Son,
what seems to have your attention?”
“Father,
come look at this,” the Son said as He stood gazing down toward
Earth at Arthur and Valencia Todd and their daughter, Lindsy Todd.
The
Father walked over, joined His Son, and together they looked down at
the Todd family.
My review:
This was a great book to read when you wonder if God is really listening to you. Valencia has gone through everything imaginable. She doesn't understand why. This book did a great job of making me feel for Valencia. I was right there with her. How is this possible? Can so many things really go wrong? How much is too much too lose?
Valencia eventually realises that she need to open up completely to God in order to let him into her life. Is it too late?
God is always near ready to help us, if we let him. I really enjoyed the surprise ending and read this book in 1 sitting. I am giving this book a 5/5 because, even though it was short, it was a perfect read during Lent. I could definitely see some of the authors motivational side come through the book.
I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.
