Molly’s Comments on Revelation in the Cave

May 5th, 2013

Well, do you want me to comment on the Book or the experience? About the book, I think Nancy did a fairly good job capturing our trip. As a writer, I would say she’s off to a good start. As a character in the journey, I would say this was a helpful journey for me personally. With my son in Iraq, I was getting really frustrated with the Christians who turn God into a war lover. The scrolls and their message, helped confirm for me the message of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Jesus – that we are called to love and not kill.  It’s always seemed rather obvious to me, and I just don’t get why my country arms the world. I don’t get why all these people right now are buying up all the guns and fighting to have as many as they want in their homes. Did you read that story about a child killing another child with a gun –  a birthday present?  What were the parents thinking? So, I hope Nancy accomplished something with this book, but at least it helped me. My son is home from Iraq now and is studying to be a preacher. Praise God!
