Wow! Where has R.H. Martin Been Hiding?

After reading Children of Abraham, I wonder where author R.H. Martin has been hiding. This novel is so timely, I can't express it in the space I have here. You'll just have to read the book, and you won't regret it! Without prejudice, the novel explores various religions through characters we can relate to, and shows us a world where God has decided to prove himself as a matter of fact rather than faith. I was pulled into the lives of the characters, some who represent the Seven Deadly Sins, and their stuggle to decide whether or not they deserve, or even want Divine redemption. As I read, there were traits in certain characters that were remarkably similar to people I know. This is the mark of a great writer - one whose work keeps me reading late into the night. At once a mystery, and an crash course in theology, and the human condition, this fast-paced novel literally has something for everyone. While the author doesn't set out to "preach" to his readers, he certainly gave me a lot to think about. As I enjoyed the page-turner mystery set within the novel, I also learned about religious beliefs that are different from my own, and came away with a much more accepting attitude of others who don't see things "my" way. Isn't that how we, who are all the Children of Abraham, should relate to each other? This novel is a "slam-dunk success" from an author I was unfamiliar with. I'm sure I will be hearing much, much more about R.H. Martin when this book is inevitably discovered by other savvy readers!
