Reviews

[Esther · Rating 5 out of 5]

There is a saying in Akan (a Ghanaian dialect) that states: “Obi nkyer3 abofra Nyame”, which means “one does not point out God to a child.”

General Revelation

If i wasn't so obsessive about finishing a book that I start, I probably would never have finished this one. It is a very lengthy book about God revealing himself in the things if the world. Fenelon is awesome, but this book was just too much of the same thing. And from a dated perspective. If i were doing an academic study of general revelation, I would consider it a great resource, otherwise I would pass.
