Another compelling story...every scene's description puts the reader right there participating and experiencing in the action. One of the critics states that the author Charles Martin is a "romantic" writer...when I looked up romantic, the definition that worked for me was "an idealized view of reality"which was part of this plot. The first definition was "expression of love"...which this book truly expressed in a love for humanity expressed by the characters and frankly, with such divine abilities expressed through the human spirit. I am grateful that I could read this book and ponder it. At the end of the book, Mr. Martin wrote about his personal indifference (as expressed in the book) to the plight of people who were poor, who lived in squalor, and who had lost "hope" and that his own indifference had made a radical shift. It has also inspired my pondering of my own indifference and how to shift it.
