Tremendously encouraging.

When God is seemingly absent, He is closer than ever. This book is very comforting when God doesn't make sense.

Who really was John the Baptist?

This book takes you on a wonderful journey through a historical fiction look at what the life of John may have been like. But the greater story is one of the unanswered questions believers may have when enduring trials, suffering and seemingly unanswered prayers in this earthly life.

Absolutely Awesome

Do you trust God? Are you offended with His silence? Give your expectations to God instead of your questions of, "Why?" Learn to trust the Shepherd of your soul.....

Riveting from Start to Finish

Most memorable line... "Blessed is he who is not offended in me" because it reminds us so powerfully of God's sovereignty.

I am astonished by the Gene author mastery of the language and profound analytical ability that enables the reader to see aspect of the story he will have otherwise overlooked. The narrator not only understand the story but he is completely immersed into it .
