The Truth About Good and Evil – ‘Adam’ Book Review

What had initially seemed to be just a great thriller quickly turned into much more. Dekker guides his readers to think about some of life's deepest issues, not only where we came from, but why we do the things we do. What is truly guiding and motivating our actions? What lies at the depth of the worst acts of mankind? Are murderers and rapists just an aberration of evolution? Or is there something much more intelligent and malevolent at work?

Are We Missing Out in Our Faith? – Thoughts on Blessed Child

As I read through the story, I thought about my own life. The book is filled with miracles and healings, but that isn't all. There are many conversations with the characters as they wrestle with witnessing the power of God right before their eyes. I wonder if we as Western Christians have't lost sight of how powerful God truly is. It's almost as if we have become content with less. As I read through the book I reflected on the book of Acts, questioning whether we haven't lost sight of what it means to be a Christian.
