I have often wondered what it would have been like to be one of the fellows walking along a road listening to the words of the One walking beside me not yet recognizing Who He Was. I can't imagine not being able to see Him clearly.
In
The Searchers A Quest for Faith in the Valley of Doubt by
Joseph Loconte I was given the opportunity to see how at one time or another we all walk the Emmaus road. As the back cover promises:
Drawing from literature, film, philosophy, history, and politics, Loconte shows how this biblical drama is an integral part of our own story.
As I read through these pages I become more and more convinced that nothing of any importance makes sense to me without the interpretive assistance of the Holy Spirit. Through His eyes I can look upon the world of history and politics and see Jesus in every bit of it. With my own eyes I simply see what the world sees.
I pray that as you read Loconte's words you allow the Spirit to whisper truth in your ears and that faith would rise clear and strong.
I received this book free from the publisher through the BookSneeze book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
