Living in the postmodern world as
we do you might think that such a title for a book as Randy Pope
has written might seem daring and bold. It is quite obvious as
Randy writes that he is very much in touch with postmodern
people and they all are looking for the missing piece of the
puzzle that gives meaning to life and offers hope in the place
of despair. Not only is this true for the irreligious, but also
for many Christians. So Randy poses the critical question “What
is this piece and where is it found?”
He gives the answer in the first
section of the book, and how to find it in the next two
sections. It comes down to three words, “glory,” “grace,” and
“truth.” In his explanation of each of these words he writes
with such clarity and balance in presenting the essence of the
gospel the reader gets caught up in the wonder of it all. He
calls the three main sections, “The Story of Glory,” “The Story
of Grace,” and “The Story of Truth.”
Randy’s has a gift for
diagramming so a person can visualize the concepts, and also to
engage a person’s thinking by way of the illustrations he uses
to lead a person toward a response to the message he is
presenting. He also has the gift of communicating truth in such
a succinct and clear way that one cannot miss the core answer to
life and satisfaction as found in the gospel and God’s Word.
The reader will be excited to
know that you can find “the Answer” in such a short read of 87
pages! What a wonderful tool The Answer can be by giving it to
people who are searching for meaning, for truth, and for
satisfaction in this world of chaos, hopelessness, and despair.
