Amazing only comes to my mind. God's inspired guidance feels evident in my heart as I have finished reading this book. That this book was published and released in 2016 and took so long to make it's way to mainstream audiences by way of a major motion picture in 2024, feels divine driven. After watching the motion picture twice, I still felt there was a deeper message to be found than was able to be portrayed in film, so I borrowed the book from the library and indeed was blessed to find that spiritual presence of which I searching. The depth of moral/spiritual turmoil being experienced within these mortal persons to interpret Divine Inspiration have been beautifully depicted in the pages of this book in a way that is impossible to be portrayed through a motion picture. Praise for the persistence of this message to make it's way to the hearts and souls of any individual who is or may be experiencing spiritual turmoil, to find the strength through the witness that is present in these written pages. The struggles we each carry internally may seem so individual yet are in reality so universal a message. Thanks to all involved in bringing this message into view.
