review 1: 75% of this book irratated me. The concept of God and justice that alarmed our heroine likewise alarmed me as it did not agree with my own beliefs and forced me to examine them. Too much time was spent rehashing debates. However without giving the ending away, the final pages won me over as I also came to enlightenment reluctantly. It was like a magician pulling away the cape and letting you see beneath. I loved the big reveal at the very end.I want to recommend this book to everyone with internal struggles about the concept of the eternal. Love conquers all and that is what I hold on to. My favorite quote from Les Mis fits here as well, "To Love another person is to see the face of God."
review 2: For all my happily addicted, book-loving friends, I just finish
... moreed a wonderful book called The Trial of Fallen Angels by James Kimmel Jr. I have read mixed reviews about the book, but I can say that it was easily one of the most moving books I have ever read! It is often compared in reviews to The Shack by William Young. I can see the reason for the comparisons. It is definitely fiction, but the fictional story depicts a modern-day example...parable, if you like...of life--the good and evil in each of us, the struggle we each have to balance love and forgiveness, the judgements we must make about our fellow man...and the judgements God must make about us. I don't want to spoil the message, but the book is deep. As with The Shack, it is not intended to be literal. It is merely intended to use a story to demonstrate what might be, in order to view the many sides of each story, each incident that makes up our lives, the reasons behind the choices we make. Ultimately, it's the story of the TRUE meaning of UNconditional love and justice. I recommend it highly. For my friends who might be offended, there are a few, very few curse words...just what I call "minor, true four-letter words" if I remember correctly...and I think those were used only when someone is crying out in true, horrible grief.There is much in the story about history, the Jewish faith, the Christian faith, the flood, Noah, Noah's reason for his sacrifice to God after he and his family left the Ark, and God's reason for His Divine promise to never destroy the Earth with a flood again. There is also a huge message about the love and judgement of God and the power of forgiveness offered by my Jesus! I can't recommend this book highly enough, but I am trying to be cautious not to give away anything. Read it and be blessed! less
