Guest Reviewer Robert Smith writes:
I did not waste a minute of my time reading this book, & I have read it several times. It is simply written & easily read.
When Rebecca reaches a certain age, God takes the gift from her & gives it to another, thus this gift of healing is passed from child to child, down the centuries.
The writing style changes with each child. In the beginning the book is written like the Bible. In the story of Tamiko, a Japanese child, God is referred to as “The Father of All Things.” An effort has been made to tell the stories in the writing style of the period.
The most exciting story is, God Delivers Hebron, in which several men are captured by the soldiers of a tax collector. When they are brought into an arena to battle the soldiers, the men have no weapons, while the soldiers are well armed. The soldiers are expecting unarmed men, instead the angel Jaykal appears, & the soldiers charge the angel...“And the angel Jaykal went before the soldiers as a great wind before grains of sand.”
The book of Rebecca is in a new genre, Biblical Fiction. It is written like the Bible & the characters are like Samson or David. The children are ordinary people to whom God appears. It is a religious book of faith. There is no preaching or a push to convert people. Rebecca is a simple story of simple people.
A Journey of Man, that will take you from the gates of the city of Jerusalem in the year 37 CE to the mountains of Asia, from the battlefields of World War II to the playhouse of three modernday young children.
Rebecca ends when the gift from God is passed from Elizabeth to Samuel in the year 2001.
The author writes that God has given this gift of healing to 282 children. This book covers only six, & in the Appendix all the children are listed by their names, genders, country, & the year they received the gift.
