Review # 1 was written on 2015-03-21 00:00:00 Gerardo Morales Some call it luck. Some call it coincidence. Some call it fate and others call it random. I am speaking of the ordering of the events in the universe. When a writer writes a story, we assume that every element is placed there by the author to serve the story. Even if it is a random, unconnected event, the author has purposely put it there to serve as a random, unconnected event. We expect that in stories but are often blind to it in life. Alexander Carson goes through the Scripture highlighting providentially significant events. Once you begin to look for them, examples abound in the Bible of orchestrated events. Who is the orchestrator? Who is the author? God is the author who purposes all events to serve His story. Just because we don't see the connection, that does not mean there isn't one. This book is an excellent study of GOd's providence and I highly recommend it.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-05-24 00:00:00 Matthew Barnett I stumbled across this book by chance not knowing what it was about nor anything about the author. At the start I was generally surprised as it felt like a feminist book, with some misguided misogyny, but still earnest in the wish for more women’s rights. The further I got, however, the more the book drifted into very restricting ideas of femininity and of course odd ideas about “the business of being a woman”. Did I overall agree with the book? No. Did I still enjoy this quick reading session? Absolutely, it was interesting observing how the same stereotypes have prevailed over a hundred years and getting a quick look at the mentality of a different time is always worthwhile.
