An important lesson
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
After reading Wangerin's Book of God, I was looking for another novelization of scripture to aid in my spiritual growth. This novel is exactly that - a warm, insightful almost poetic journey through the Bibles' books Exodus and Judges. The text uses metaphors like "Bondage Breaker" & "Land Giver" as references to God, and the "Shining One" as Satan. Moses is the "General" and Aaron is "Pointman". What was most important to me was how Dr Stephens explained one of the most perplexing times of the Old Testament to me. As the Children of Israel were moving out of captivity and through the desert, following the Pillar of Smoke and Fire, God was ever present, yet they still managed to become whining complainers and unbelievers. The novel demonstrates the whispering power of the "Shining One" as he works his deception and breeds conflict. With the dissent that brought the Golden Calf to the fall of Jehrico - the deception was ever present. It allowed me a solution of one of the greatest mysteries that intrigued me for years. It may sound simplistic but it was very relevant to me and the role that the enemy plays. The poetic style was also quite refreshing and enjoyable to read.
