Blessed Child

Five stars are reserved for books that challenge me to think and open my mind to ideas and possibilities that shape my perspective and life. This book has done just this.

The topic of the Holy Spirit is mysterious, but important. Dekker and Bright do not attempt to explain how the Trinity work together as God, but the picture is painted for us to see it in action. One may be tempted to criticize how the power of the Holy Spirit is depicted in the story, but that misses the greater point, as God has shown that his interactions with his people are as personal and unique as each of us are.

This is a book for which a review feels inadequate. It seems to me a long reflection of the soul in the presence of God and/or with others who know him would be of more value.

I highly recommend the book, especially for those who are willing to look past the surface as consider the possibility of a greater reality.
