Finished another “novella” today. It was only a few-hour’s read and completely worth it. It was a suggested follow-up to reading “The Slumber of Christianity” that I finished just days ago. I happened to have this Dekker book in my library waiting for me. It’s a great fictional-work depicting a small village church in Bosnia during World War II.
The story follows the village priest, Father Michael and the rest of the village as they are approached by 5 soldiers with a commander marching to the orders of our spiritual enemy.
The book includes a CD-single by Todd Agnew based on the book. I have yet to download the track, but plan to soon.
The book awakened my imagination, again, on the subject of heaven and what it will look and show more sound like. show less
