Review: A little tame, but very encouraging none the less.

The author has chosen a difficult period to write about - the end of the milennial reign of Jesus Christ. Just how people return to the evil ways of old would be hard to conjecture, given the presence of immortal elders like the Lady Sarah, and the truth revealed as it is. So it makes creating viable and plausible plots for rebellion a problem. This was my main issue with this book. The plots are too tame, Liz a little too - roll the eyes - and the whole premise a little too unreal. It is also slow to start. However the book is worth the read for the following three reasons: 1. His description of the mountain representing life is very effective in explaining the reason why some of us make it and others don't. 2. The description of the judgement at the end of the world was biblical. There was no mamby pamby everyone will be saved retoric. He gave the gospel as it is without apology & he expressed it simply and well. It is not about being good enough. I was impressed. 3. Carter's descriptive writing of the relationship between Sarah and Jesus allowed me to glimpse just a little of the way it might be, should be, and long for such a relationship. His writing is gifted in this particular area. Do I think the book was worth $3.00? Definitely! Go ahead and buy it. You might skim some bits, but read the bits that count and you won't be disappointed. You will walk away richer and encouraged.
