Thank you for taking the time to read Where the Garden Begins and for sharing your thoughts, Nancy. As a Christian author, I take that responsibility seriously and would never want to lead anyone astray.
In the story, I explore a range of perspectives through different characters—some who hold a young-earth view, some an old-earth view, and others who are still wrestling with the question—while keeping the central focus on faith in Jesus Christ. The book is ultimately about two young people coming to faith, and questions like the age of the universe are just one small part of that larger journey. My intention is to present these ideas respectfully without diminishing differing views.
I understand this element didn’t resonate with you, but I appreciate you giving the book a try and wish you all the best. — J. Suthern Hicks
