About The
Author
The author is a recently retired physician who had been involved in Missionary Medicine and practiced Emergency Medicine for most of his career in the US. Before becoming a Christian, he was a Flight Instructor, Charter Pilot and then Corporate Pilot/Bookkeeper in California. His conversion came from his last full-time flying job for a California company owned and run by a family of Christians. They provided an amazing opportunity for him to attend Biola College part time while still flying. His conversion occurred during his first partial semester at Biola and led to a dramatic change in his life and his life circumstances.
About The
Book
The Creator of the Universe created a perfect environment of thrilling beauty, security, and unimaginable peace. None of us can truly understand the depth of the Creator’s love expressed in His creative acts. And how can He fully explain to us how and why the world of our day and our personal lives are so far from that which we read of in the first two Chapters of the Book of Genesis? We’re talking about the need to communicate from one completely other spiritual realm to our messed up, earthly, corrupted existence—to minds and hearts clouded and corrupted by all that’s wrong with ourselves and our world. How does one do that? By telling the Creator’s side of the big story. And by using lesser stories that use comparative expressions of all He knows. We are talking here of metaphors, simple linguistic tools, figures of speech, designed and used for effecting understanding in the hearer that sometimes cannot be reached in any other way. Metaphors in Scripture are the language of “inter-realm” communication—God’s way to help his created, earthly beings begin to understand the differences and similarities between the earthly and spiritual realms. This book explores these issues and many more in an explorative and “winsome” fashion (in the words of one academic reviewer). Much of the content, especially toward the end of the book, is unique in the insights offered, lessons taught, and manner of expression.
