Usually when you read a book of short stories the quality is inconsistent: some are fantastic, others are unimportant. No so with this book.But this isn't quite a book of short stories. Instead, an editor has chosen entire chapters from books written by other authors, some I've heard of, others I haven't. Every chapter had a purpose.Don't expect to be uplifted by each chapter; after all, there could be no empty tomb had there first not been a crucifixion. The crucifixion was necessary. Many Christians gave their lives for their faith not long after, and in the Middle East, Christians are still giving their lives today.But each chapter has a purpose, a lesson. Some will uplift your spirit; others will remind you of sacrifice. All are well written.You will recognize some of the authors: Desmond Tutu and C. S. Lewis who is more famous for his children's books ( although he wrote a wonderful book about grief ); others may become your new favorites.Just give it a chance. I'm glad I did.
