What reflections and connections can you make with this novel?

While reading this book I could feel myself and my own faith growing and advancing along with it. It seems in the short time we've spent reading and analyzing this book I've grown a little bit more and have begun to understand more of me and a part of myself. It was a really wierd feeling and I felt kind of proud I guess you could say, but it defniately was a great feeling.

Much like the Sawi, I think I carried a sort of darkness in my heart. Hatred, revenge, feelings that are quite ugly and a burden to carry around. More or less I guess I could understand how the Sawi regarded revenge as a priority and stuff like that. But then the moment of darkness passed and then the Sawi and I were brought forth to God and just as they started to reveal and wash away their sins to God I could feel myself open and let go. As wierd as it sounds reading the book was kind of like my own little get back in touch thing with God and I could feel myself slowly letting go of the bad things.

Jin what a WONDERFUL experience. I too experience a deepened understanding in my relationship with God after reading this book. I am amazed that God cares so much for each culture that He leaves a multitude of clues for us to find. These clues attest to God's existence, if only we are wise enough to find and see the connections. Eternity in their Hearts is another spectacular work which truly delves into God's clues to finding Him in other cultures. But one thing remains Christ is the only way, and reading these two books, if one has the intellectual capacity to look beyond one's own cultural bias, will reveal life changing truth. You have looked beyond and totally understand the profound message that God has embedded for all mankind. Mrs.Mc.
