Remember
when you were a kid and you had to get through a meal of Brussels
sprouts or broccoli, made palatable by bites of mashed potatoes and
gravy or meatloaf, to get to dessert? Hmmmm, that chocolate cake or
apple pie! The food on that dinner plate seemed to last so long, but
the dessert was devoured so quickly. Fortunately here the space
leading up to dessert is quite short, and Bolinder's readers can
feast on dessert for most of the book. I was happy to have read
through the first five chapters, gathering background knowledge, but
once I got to the sixth chapter, there was dessert!

Bolinder has created something unique in My Promise.
His incorporation of the music and films of modern culture gives the
story a new dimension. (The reader will find themselves searching
YouTube and Netflix to see the parallels for themselves.) The truths
Noah reveals so carefully as the story progresses will speak across
generations. My Promise
is a beautiful, intricate work of apologetics. It is a story that
must be shared.
I
am very grateful to have received a copy of this book from the author
in exchange for my honest opinion. I was under no obligation to
provide a positive review and received no monetary compensation.
Great review! I have the book, also, and look forward to reading it soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks Carrie, I would love to hear your opinion after you read My Promise.
