This book is unlike any I have ever read before. In this tiny book, the unviverse, throught-out all time, In Gods perspective, is laid out before you, and it will change the way you see things, change your life if you let it. First you are given a picture of God, The Trinity, before anything else existed. God was never alone, He was always in the Trinity, in their core relationship they loved eachother, so as the Bible says "God is Love". Then you are given a look at angelic beings, of which Lucifer was once one, and not only that, but the highest most beautiful one, defender of the Glory of God Himself. And we see that Angels are not the chubby-faced, childlike cherubs on the Chistene Chapel, but look at their Biblical discription, which is terrifying, which is why the people who see them faint, stand petrified, or believe they will now die, and why an angel's first words are usually " Fear Not.". You continue to the great betrayal, Satan, defender of God's Glory yet unsatisfied with his highest position and because of his vanity in his great beauty decides he doesn't want to be part of God's creation and unfolding story, he want to be the whole story, he wants to be God. And the discription of Satan and Michael ,who now replacing Lucifer leading God's armies against him, fighting on land and blazing up into the air, a battle with no martal bounderies, is indescribable, and satan is cast down. But in the smoke remains his question "Do I deserve more, is God holding out on me, would my life be better if I take it into my own hands?" Then God begins to create the universe, the beauty and extravagance of which is also beyond my power of description. All that he Gives Adam aand Eve, the Garden Eden, Paradise, the world, power over it all, His image, walking and being Himself. He gives this because he wanted a relationship, which meant giving them the greatest gift, the ability to love, like Him, and that means the freewill not to love, to reject, which God has already been through, and He gives this to them knowing He will go through it again, and that the sentence of "Death" for their betrayal will be His Son's death. So satan tempts them with his lingering question, and how easily man falls. Now we enter into the story, born into a fallen world, what does that mean, what does that change, God Pursues us, breaking His heart with our rejection, never giving up or wanting us less for our adultery. We are bound to a being we don't love but the question lingers asking do we want to be bound to God either. God makes the ultimate sacrifice, degrades Himself to come to us, and them dies for us, Forever silencing satan's question "Is God holding out on us, can we trust ourselves to His hands or are we better off taking things into our own?" Their can now be no Doubt. Lastly Paridise is restored, Eden given back, once again the entire world and even the whole universe, is ours to explore, an un-inhibited relationship with God restored, we are restored to the glories we were created to be, and even one final gift, this time we can never lose it. Eternity. So when you comprehend all of that, told so well, in this short book, you are left with the question "How do I or God want me to spend my drop of time on this earth? What is my short, but not unimportant eternally, part in this story, and how well will I play it?
