I'm glad I found this short story, I love this sort of philosophical bartering of ideas, this one between an atheist professor and a young girl. Wilde Blue Sky's prose is clear, smooth and easy to read. Religion is a minefield, one of those taboo subjects we're not supposed to discuss; even this harmless little story has provoked strong reaction, take a look at some of the other reviews (Smashwords). Go on, give it a read, what are you worried about?
As a theologian and a Christian writer, I always enjoy reading well written apologetic works on faith. “Drawing God” is short, and although somewhat threadbare in the way the ideas are presented, they do not lack depth. The dialogue between a young child (golden haired angel) who is busy making a drawing of God and a grave professor of science (at his death-hour) didn’t really prove God’s existence to me, as probably the author intended, but it reminded me of something important I have always been sure about: The only way to communicate with God is not through the bored, know-it-all, cynical adult that we often become, but through the child who has survived our serious growing up and still lives inside of us.
