Since 1981, God's World News has been helping children to understand and interpret the world around them. You'd think with the yo-yo stock market that a book about international economic meltdown like The Warning would make for an exciting read. But this sentence belongs in the character sketch a novelist begins with in the developing novel. Later, it's thrown out as the character is revealed in speech and action. Angels and divine intervention protect our hero Korda, and his overly saccharin wife upholds him and never for a moment doubts anything her husband says or does.
Events play out exactly as prophesied.
So the major premise of the book completely undercuts any possibility of dramatic plot development and a course of rising action. And on and on and on. And they say economics is the dismal science. Perhaps more disturbing here is that everybody relies on feelings, good guys and bad guys alike. Nothing here is anchored in the objective truth of God's Word or the reality of grace.
