Book Review: The Divine Romance by Gene Edwards



I have just finished reading The Divine Romance by Gene Edwards. The book is intriguing - however, I enjoyed The Prisoner in the Third Cell and The Tale of Three Kings better.

Here is a description of the book, "The most beautiful love story ever told! A book of power, beauty and grandeur. Rarely has a piece of Christian literature combined the simplicity of the storytelling art with the profound depths of the Christian faith. In this sweeping saga, spanning from eternity to eternity, you will discover some of the deepest riches afforded the believer. Like some mighty symphony, here is a majestic rendition of the love of God.
Behold the story of the Crucifixion and Resurrection as it has never been presented... from the view of angels! Be there when rising from the dead, the Lord brings forth his beautiful bride. The story concludes at the consummation of the ages, when a victorious Lord takes his bride to himself. This truly is the greatest love story ever told."

Edwards does an interesting job in tracing a thread through the Creation of Eve from Adam through the creation of a people and nation, to God's Creating a Bride for Himself through Jesus Christ. It may just be a reflection of my personality, but at times I was uncomfortable with the level of anthropomorphic allegories Edwards attributed to God and His desire for a Bride. It was very well written and incredibly insightful.

What Edwards is masterful at is taking the written text of God's Word and imagining what was left unwritten. And while doing that, not violating any of the written text. His insights of what might have been are amazing. However, one must be very careful not to equate this with the written text of God's Word.

The next Edward's book I will read is,
The Day Christ Was Crucified.

This is done using techniques such as hydrotherapy, remedial exercise, Mississauga style massage, rhythmic mobilizations, laser therapy and
myofascial therapy. Moreover, once you start disliking your
partner, even the smallest of their mistakes seem blunders to you and
ultimately it would led to differences between both of you.

RTs can also explore the option of branching out into business roles with equipment manufacturers, or join the world of research and academics.
