This novella is really good. The best in the series to date. In this story we meet Martha, who happens to have a younger sister, Mary (who we met in the previous episode) and a younger brother, Laz. The threesome from Bethany in the Bible.
And this Martha, a 16 year old, is a great modern day depiction of the Bethany Martha. She works too hard, bosses people around and is a general worrier. Mary, her 15 year old sister, is drop dead gorgeous and gets lots of male attention but we don't see her lounging at Eli's feet like we do in the Bible.
We also get explained how Eli's parents gave birth to him. Guess what? It's similar to the miraculous virgin birth.
And then we meet Benjamin, the youth pastor who I'm presuming is portraying a church leader similar to the Pharisees in Jesus time. Ben doesn't appreciate Eli's thoughts and in fact believes he is misleading the youth.
The story ends with a miracle too which is a great way to finish it.
Easy to read and I hope this gets into the hands of some young people who don't believe in Jesus because it may help them discover Him. I hope the others in the series follow a similar bent to this one.
Well done, Krista.
