When Edward asked me to read his newest book, I thought, ‘Oh, dear God. What if I don’t like it? How do you tell a new friend it was just an okay read?’ Plus, I’m not that crazy about most Christian writing these days. (That’s another story.) So I sat down, sighed, and cracked open THE DIVINE RESCUE. When I looked up, a few hours had passed, and I had read it in one sitting. . . . . I could not put it down. Lost track of time. . . .
I don’t often recommend these kinds of books. I think most of them are trite. But this is great scholarship put in such a way that it lives up to its billing as a proclamation of a gripping drama. However, the reason I like the book and will share it with others is not because of its writing or its writer. I recommend THE DIVINE RESCUE because it does what good preaching is supposed to do: It tells the story.
