Review of Let The Children Come
[Following is a volunteer review of "Let The Children Come" by Tom Fay.]
A lot of people have this misconception about drugs: some people ventured into drugs and other illicit activities to find peace and happiness, but then the reverse became the case. Let The Children Come by Tom Fay is a story about one Christian that most Christians look up to, George Muller. This is a modernized story about George that would make you pause and reflect on your Christian life.
George wasn't the child his father wanted him to be. He did drugs, hung around with bad friends, and was lacking in terms of academics. When his mother died, he wasn't even there to bid her farewell. On the other hand, Fred was the perfect child. His grades were good, and he was on the path to becoming a lawyer just like his father. George always thought that Fred acted holier than thou, and this made him resent his brother. Beta was George's best friend. He was the one who introduced George to this lifestyle. However, after they went off to college, the two minimized communication and eventually stopped. George was surprised to see Beta at the airport when he came back home after a break from college. To his surprise, Beta was not the friend he remembered from years ago; a lot had changed for this young man. How will this change go on to change George's life for the best?
I frequently tell my fellow Christians that those who have done the most in Christ are those who were in great darkness before the light came to them. In the real sense of things, I would never believe that after living such a reckless life, God would still use George. But God doesn't look at how your past was; instead, he focuses on the future, and while doing this, he searches the inner heart and knows who he can rely on to do this work, and this was what he saw in George. This story won't just engage you, but it will have a massive impact on your life as a Christian.
There was nothing to hate about this book. To be frank, I find most Christian books boring, but this wasn't the case for this book. The author did so well by modernizing the life of George and also adding a few twists to his life story to make it more engaging, yet the message behind this book was still passed. Just like George, I have tried other alternatives to finding inner peace, and none of them felt good like when I came to God. This book will strengthen your faith, trust in God, and your prayer life as a Christian.
I would rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. The book was exceptionally well-edited. I found no errors while reading. I would recommend this book to every Christian to help them in their walk with God.
