From Another Author
Extracts from “The Book of Thomas the Doubter” by George Tyrrell:
“Then and there I realized Jesus had truly resurrected in the most imperishable and everlasting way. He has come to life again in the hearts and souls of the living, who can spread his word to generations beyond his earthly existence. And even if my hopes soared so high that this was but a figment of my mind – it was still Jesus’ spirit and God’s Spirit in me and the others. And the Spirit needs to dwell in no body of its own.”
“We are so intent on the Kingdom from above, we neglect the Kingdom waiting in ourselves and spread before us. We expect this world’s end, and forget our own brief lives will end beforehand. We foresee the world’s final judgment, but forget we are even now being judged.”
Worthwhile messages, I thought, when I was reviewing this biblically-based novel.
