What
would you do if you could travel back to the time when Jesus walked the
earth? Is there a particular time of
Jesus’ life you would like to witness for yourself? Have you any questions you would love to ask
Jesus? This story is a continuation of
the first in this series entitled, Necessary Heartbreak, which I recommend
you read first. Even if you don’t read
that book first, you will be engrossed in the story within minutes of starting.
There
is man named Michael, who is a single father, raising a daughter alone. They have been together without a wife/mother
since after Elizabeth was born. How did
they end up where they are? Where are
they? Well, it depends on what part of
the story you are reading. The author
leads his readers through the characters he created to the many different
events in the life of Jesus. Michael and
Elizabeth can’t go to Jerusalem any time they want to though, and they aren’t
the only ones who have experienced this phenomenon. In a church, there is a Black Book where many
pastors have written down stories from people who have traveled back in
time. Does this book contain clues for
those who follow them?
Dennis
is the pastor and he has a past. What
kind of past? One that shows his many
mistakes and a desire now to be forgiven of the sins he has committed. Dennis’ past somehow involves Michael’s, but
how? There are Connie, Sammie, and Jim
who know Michael or want to know him, but Michael wants nothing to do with
them. The FBI wants to talk to Michael
about his daughter; they think he has done something to her. Why?
Well, you’ve got to read the book! In the story, it is interesting how different
characters respond to what Michael or Elizabeth tells them. Some think they have lost it while others
believe them. Though they can’t travel
back in time when they want to, there is something that links the travel times
together. Can you guess what it is?
In this
work of fiction, you and I are shown how lives interact with others. We see how Jesus might be working in our
lives to make all things new. Sometimes
we might even forget that God has a better plan that we can’t quite grasp or the
fact that He is present always. I read
this book with a thirsty soul and came through to find I enjoyed the story
immensely. You might find you can relate
to a character or two as they come together to create a brilliant masterpiece. For me, this is a 5-star book. This is a book that is believable and well-written fiction that has a touch of reality. Can you find it?
