![]() This amazing little book nearly passed me by entirely. Through the gracious providence of God, the men then separately come to embrace the true Gospel of Jesus Christ in all of its freedom and power. Having done so, each one eventually realizes the weakness of that Law to deliver anyone, since it brings only condemnation. Through crisis events in their pastorate (an encounter with a dying parishioner, a fight between two church members, etc.), the pastors come to confront their own weakness of character and take hold of the Law of God. Each of these men, though a pastor, begins his story in a place of confusion about God and his Word. This novel, translated from the original Swedish (in which language it was published more than seventy years ago), follows the stories of three separate pastors who serve in the same Lutheran parish first in 1810, then 1870, then in 1940. ![]() He also loves the Derby Series which I wrote about earlier, but this is probably his favorite Christian novel. ![]() ![]() This post is by my husband, Dave, who loves reading and sharing book recommendations. ![]()
