The entire book is based on small portion of the Bible, specifically
Luke 24:13-35. Twenty-two lines of
scripture that tell the story of two men walking back home after the tragic of Jesus
being crucified. How a stranger
appeared while they were walking interested in what they had to say. Later after they invited this stranger into
their home they find out it is Jesus.
The author breaks down the story into logical sections and explains what
is going and how it relates to situation we have seen, read and lived through. While the subject matter does have high
interest for me the bombardment of quotes from books from Tolkien, Lewis, Rowling
and many other gifted writers caused the subject matter to be lost. Frequently the message that the author saw as
being relevant to the scripture took a around about way to deliver
his point. The author attempts several
times, in each chapter, to relate the scripture to how we see this same
situation from the human condition today.
The subject matter truly is interesting but it gets lost in the
delivery.
I received a free copy of this
book from BookSneeze in exchange for my honest review of the book.
