The God Cookie
by Vivian
While vacationing in Washington DC, I had the pleasure of reading The God Cookie, by Geoffrey Wood. Imagine God speaking to you through a fortune cookie…
But that is exactly the kind of message from God some people desire. Recently, even non-Christian friends of mine seemed a bit wistful for something like God’s proverbial lightning bolt to offer clarity regarding job situations, relationships, etc. (Limited guidance gratefully accepted.)
I find it curious that some people covet God’s omniscience, but totally disregard the message God actually has for us (e.g., John 3:16). Aren’t eternal consequences something to be reckoned with?
Just who do we think God is, anyway?

Hi Vivian,
I just finished the trilogy by Ted Dekker. The three book titles are Black, Red, and White. Have you read them? They were hard to get into (alternate dream reality with talking bats? Please.), but well worth it in the end. I have been wondering if there was any Christian fiction that didn’t glorify killing the bad guys and these books fit the bill. Let me know what you think of them.

I suppose if folk came upon things in the cookie they didn’t like they would ignore that, too.
I don’t think ppl want to know what God has to say, they just want to know that He will agree with whatever they are going to do anyway.
