In this book the purpose of miracles became very obvious to me they aren't for the Wow-factor. I know that God performed many miracles in the Old Testament and Jesus performed many in the New Testament, but they just don't happen today. I am naturally very suspicious of anything called a miracle. One of the things that I really appreciate about this book is the miracles. Her journey with Atretes, Theophilus (I love that Rivers pulls a real life person into the story) and her baby Caleb is beautiful (reading about her son growing up through all of this was very gut-wrenching at times and at others brought a smile to my face). I can relate to her so much, especially with the why-did-I-say-that aspect. I think his struggle with anger and what was done to him is so similar to many people today, that stubborn pride that just won't let you loose to experience God even when He makes himself obvious.Īnd then there's Rizpah, my favorite character in the entire series. Atretes is frustrating and intense, and while I wanted very much to come through the pages of the book and strangle him, I loved reading his journey. While I adore the 2nd book of the series, I think this was my favorite.
