I have been sharing your book Identity wars with a number of my friends. Everyone of them have identity issues. Some come from a very abusive background and grew up looking for worth in all the wrong places. Another friend used drugs and attempted suicide and still has some serious concerns. One other has issues with power, position, money, education. Another person who is a Roman Catholic, called me yesterday and told me she was reading the chapters I am translating into Spanish, even though she is not a reader and has no interest in things we believe as Seventh-day Adventists. A young woman who stayed with us a few days has lots of problems as well. I was sharing with her the comparison you made in your book between Lucifer and Absalom, and she was really touched by it.
This brief booklet, yet so aptly named clearly demonstrates His wisdom in the manifestation of the relationships He has ordained. The author thoughtfully delineates the history of love and lies – played out over the ages. Contrasting the divine relationships ordained in everlasting love and submission, with the tyrannical and selfish relationships we readily accept as ‘godly’ today. This short read is an excellent expose on the two opposing views, and allows the reader to clearly see why the deception has been developed, and how it has lead the world away into darkness - preventing humanity from embracing the true relationship with our Heavenly Father and His Son. Such a blessing to see the light in brighter glory!
