FORGIVING SEAN, by Jessica Adriel


Wednesday - Today we get to my favorite character, Hawke Davies. Hawke is my favorite for a couple of reasons. First because he's a Christian who is sold out on working for Christ. Second, because he's unlike our poster-board image of what a Christian should look like. A former drug addict and pusher, Hawke turns to music. His hair is a bit better kept up, but it's still long and he still has his beard. He's still dressing like something out of a GQ meets Goth kind of catelog, and he sports tattoos and earrings. There was a time when I would have looked down on a person like that just because of the way the dressed, because of their tattoos, and especially the earrings, but God worked a miracle in my life, and...and this isn't about me, it's about Hawke. Sorry.

Hawke is Marissa's "nearly engaged" boyfriend. When Sean Moffit left, he left her with a burden no one should have to bear. Trying to rectify that became harder and harder the further he went down the road he had chosen to travel. Hawke was there to pick her up when she was down, to help soothe her pain, to fill a gap left in her life that had been left vacant. As he did this something began to happen to him, he began to fall in love. When I say that I don't mean the idiotic kind of "falling in love" you read about in most contemporary romance novels, but the kind of love that says, "If you ever need anything, ANYTHING, I'm here for you." It wasn't romantic attraction. It wasn't some kind of desire for her beauty. Instead he had seen what she was like on the inside and really, really liked what he saw. The more he thought about that the more he couldn't stop thinking about that and before he knew it he found himself totally head over heels over her.

Hawke is a type of Jesus in this story. By that I don't mean he was divine and all that. However you will find these elements that both share. Jesus saw our need and stepped down from His throne to meet that need. He didn't look at what we looked like on the outside, but what we were on the inside, or to be more specific, what we could be if we let His love live in us and produce that kind of fruit that love always produces...more love. You see, if you hate or even dislike someone, you begin to train yourself to dislike that person until that dislike becomes hate. On the other side of that coin you'll find that the more we train ourselves to love someone the more we actually do love someone. Whether or not they return our love doesn't matter. Okay, it matters, but not in the same way you might think. It matters because love when it isn't accepted always hurts, but it remains. It doesn't change to hatred. Lust will always turn to hatred after a while.

There's a lot more about Hawke I could write here, but I'd be giving the book away. Suffice it to say that Hawke becomes the human anchor for Marissa and the battering ram that breaks down Sean's walls, even if it meant breaking down a few of his own. It's a message of love that people, especially our young people, need to hear today. Not everyone is a loser. Not everyone will betray you. Yes they will all fail you at one point or another, but most of your friends will ask forgiveness and move on. A true friend will be there for you and there are people like that in God's family because Jesus is like that and God is molding us to be in the very image of His Son. Maybe that's why it's so easy to see the connection between Hawke and Jesus. Hawke was just doing what Jesus told us we should do.

FORGIVING SEAN, by Jessica Adriel


Tuesday - Yesterday I mentioned the 3 major characters and then expounded upon Marissa. In doing so I likened Sean Moffit to the devil, and that wasn't really fair of me. So today we are going to take a closer look at Sean and try to correct that.

Sean, like all of us, largely mirrors what he sees at home and what he finds is socially acceptable in school. When we do this we run the risk of creating terrible problems for ourselves and those around us. With the hormones pumping fast and certain desires rising in us faster than we can really deal with, our only strength can come from good solid teaching, good solid examples and the Word of God. Sean had none of these. He was sports-minded, much like his father. Women to him marked levels of conquest. Then Marissa came into the picture. Well, actually he knew her his entire life, but as she grew older she began to blossom. At first he saw her as someone he could take as something more than just a one night stand, but he did see a definite end. Once they started seeing each other he saw more than he expected. As Marissa opened up to him he began to see who she really was, more than just the flesh and bones he had thought previously. It was this person, this young woman that was hidden from him previously, that he fell in love with. Of course the term "fell in love" could only be defined within his own limited idea of love. He was taken with her, so much so that he held off physical contact for quite a while, but then when that door was opened it was as if he was sucked into a desire he had no power over. To him this was what love was. As he is returning to New Jersey, his whole being is at war with itself. Part of him wants to set her free from him, the other wants desperately to regain her heart.

In this context we see the struggles of a young man, whose understanding of love is severely limited, trying to make correct choices. Yet he has no reference for making those choices. You will find more about him in the book. Needless to say Marissa has her own problems understanding love, but she has no problem understanding pain and abandonment. While Sean never was the devil, his actions may just as well have been. He took advantage of a weakened girl for his own pleasure. When his pleasure was actually to be with her it was too late. The devil had turned against his pawn in this struggle, and that is often the case.

What we learn from Sean is that when the world is looking for the truth they really don't know what to look for. Often they will make up their own rules to fit whatever preconceived notions they may have. They will rush on ahead and, even when trying to be noble, end up hurting the very object of their affection. We can find that in the Bible. Judas Iscariot was chosen by Jesus to be one of the Twelve, yet his affections were for the re-establishment of Israel, not for the Truth. He had a skewed view of things. Even his betrayal was done so that Jesus would possibly be forced to accept kingship over Israel and abolish the bonds or Rome. He just didn't understand, nor was he willing to understand. When it finally dawned on him, Judas found it was too late. Trying to undo what he had done Judas went back to the Temple and tried to give the money back and get Jesus out of trouble, but it was too late. Even though the money was thrown on the floor, Judas realized that he had sentenced the one he loved to death. Because he hadn't been listening with an open heart from the Lord he went and hung himself. Am I the only one that sees the similarities between Judas and Sean? Both loved a certain person. Both did things that caused that person severe pain (in the case of Jesus even death). Both tried to turn back the clock and undo the wrongs they did. Both ended up realizing they had lost their hold on the one they loved.

Do not be led astray. Do not think you know better. Do not press on without consulting the Lord on anything, or you may end up doing more harm than good. You may actually be cut off from the one you love. The ways of Sean are like the little foxes in our congregations. They get in and are spoiling the fruit on the True Vine, which is Jesus Christ. When they come to realize that is what they are doing it may be too late for them. In the meantime, realize that God has everything under control. Turning to Him, not to yourself, is the one sure way of protecting yourself against a fate like Sean's, or more importantly, like Judas'.

FORGIVING SEAN, by Jessica Adriel


Monday - The three principle characters in this story are that of Marsisa Gladstone, Hawke Davies and Sean Moffit. This is the 2nd book in a series that begings with Drawing Marissa. Since I haven't read the 1st book you'll have to forgive me for some of the outrageous jumps in logic that may arise.

Today I'd like to focus on Marissa Gladstone. We meet her as she is longing to get from Manhattan to her New Jersey home to be with Hawke. We learn that he has more than filled a gap left in her life when Sean abandoned her and struck out to be a pitcher for the Chicago Cubs. Hawke isn't the kind of guy you'd expect to be the Christian hero of this story, but the fact is that for all the evil he may have done in the past he is more than dedicated to allowing Jesus to reach out and try to heal instead of hurt those around him. In doing so Marissa finds in him someone worthy of respect, even love. She begins to redefine what love must mean and in so doing begins to find fulfillment in a life otherwise empty and broken.

In one sense we are all like Marissa. We've had a fling with the devil. At one time or another he seemed to promise great things for us. He seemed to care for us in a way we thought no one else could care for us. I'm not saying we intentionally went out and found Satan to follow him around, but the temptations he placed in our paths seemed more like love notes from a secret admirer and oh how thrilled we were to receive these gifts...right up until we realized they weren't gifts at all. Instead they were bait to the many traps laid around us, and we found that we had stumbled into so many of these traps we felt there could be no escape. This secret admirer turned out to be a master of disguise and used his wiles against us. He used our very desires to defeat and enslave us. Then he abandoned us, except for his mocking laughter that rang in our ears. We were lost, broken, trapped, made into something so utterly repulsive that we didn't even wish to face ourselves. Then, into this dark world of ours, step one greater than Hawke, Jesus the Christ. He did not care whether or not we had done wrong in our past, for it was forgiven as soon as it was brought up. He saw our brokenness and wrapped His arms around us, letting the warmth of His divine hug heal us. And it did more than just heal us, it began to break the chains that were around us, snapped iron traps into pieces, chains fell broken at our feet. We felt unworthy, and looked into His eyes and found that He saw us as worthy. Christ began hauling away the garbage we had filled our lives with and replaced it with all His goodness, meekness, gentleness, humility and love. It is the Love of the Most High God that has set us free.

Our paths may be much different than one another. Some may be abused, some may be raised by wonderful parents. Some may find hardship at every turn, others find that they have been given so many advantages. And yet, no matter how different we may be, we have all bought into Satan's lies. At one point or another we have courted him as our lover and he willingly obliged. Then when we were so messed up we couldn't even face ourselves, God stepped in and said, "Satan you are a liar." Then facing us Jesus said, "Come to me my son, my daughter, my love, and I will give you rest. This, to me is the overall story of Marissa, and of us.

Day of Prayer


A man of meager means, reverently closes his Bible, sets aside his glasses, and bows his head as he thanks his Maker for the food he is about to eat. Scripture says, "Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word the comes from the mouth of God." As Christian writers and reviewers we understand the power of the written word, but more than that, our responsibility to the Living Word. We are like the man in the picture above, setting everything aside to take time to thank God for what we have.

All too often people today complain about what they do not have. We are going to dedicate ourselves to praying for what we have. I have always loved the above picture. I believe my uncle had it on his wall. There is a certain nobility about this man that the richest king cannot touch, and do you know why? Because this man is a child of the King of kings. As Christians that is who we are, children of the Most High God. If our clothes looks a little ragged, well praise God that we have clothes. If our food is a little sparce, we thank God that we have something to eat. If we feel we are growing old, we thank God for a wonderful life in Him and ask Him for just one more day to please Him in service.

With that in mind we ask that all of you would join us in this day of prayer as we will be touring FORGIVING SEAN, by Jessica Adriel this week. This powerful story is something that could change the course of lives so they might not have to face some of the heartaches that are described in the book. Our teens are at stake here people. If you don't believe the enemy is trying to snatch away our teens then talk to a parent of teens or go see where they hang out, how they are drawn towards many things that have trapped them into a life with no purpose, no love, no hope. Jesus came to set these people free. This is why CFRB exists. We aren't trying to get people on bestseller's lists, but to shine light into dark places so Jesus can set these people free. Won't you set today aside to join with us in prayer for this tour? Come back tomorrow and see what God has in store. - David Brollier; co-founder CFRB

Here is my humble prayer:
Father, I just want to thank you for the love you have poured out on me. I know that in the natural I don't deserve your love, but I also realize that you called me worthy. The very act of sending your son to die for my sins is more than I can fully understand, but it is this love that saved me. So I thank you Father, for your love, for your son, for your forgiveness, for your people. Bless all your children Father. I ask that you especially anoint those writing reviews and working to make this book tour successful, because we don't measure success by dollars and cents, but by how much we please you and by how we are used by you to tell the great story of your wonderful love. May FORGIVING SEAN touch the hearts of many people, especial the young people dear Father, because they are being deceived by the enemy. They have been told they are unlovable, but you love them. May they see this love you have for them in our eyes and hear it in their ears when we speak to them. May they come to know that your love is all about forgiveness when we don't deserve forgiveness. It's all about coming to know you and be part of this great, big, diverse family. Thank you Heavenly Father. We thank you for hearing this and for answering this prayer, in the name of your One and Only Son Jesus. Amen.

THE WORDSMITH, THE KID, AND THE ELECTROLUX, by Cliff Leigh


Saturday - In THE WORDSMITH, THE KID, AND THE ELECTROLUX, by Clifford Leigh we have quite a number of characters, from Corey and his family, to a rogue family and even a bunch of kids playing an intricate game. So why pick the title he has picked? Leaning into the imagery that Clifford Leigh has placed within the story, and to the interpretations of these images along the way, I'm fairly certain that the title, while long, is precise. We come across the Electrolux fairly early on in the story, then are introduced to the Wordsmith, and finally to the Kid. Yet, are we seeing things as they truly are? Perhaps all we are seeing is a shadow of something greater, as I mentioned yesterday.

Christians hold that God is best described as three different, yet unified, personalities. These operate as one, even though their particular functions may be different. They call this the Trinity, which baffles many and has become a stumbling block to their salvation. When Corey meets the Electrolux it is my opinion that he is seeing a shadow of the Holy Spirit. In Hebrew the word for wind is "ruach", but it doesn't only mean wind; it also means spirit and breath. In the Greek the word "pneuma" is used, and interestingly enough has the same three meanings. The Spirit of God first "hovers over the face of the deep" we are told in Genesis 1. It is this same Holy Spirit that spoke to the patriarchs, the prophets, the apostles, and even today speaks to any who will listen. To get into the job of the Holy Spirit would take pages, but one of these is to draw people to God, another is to "convict" people of their sin. It is He who brings you and I to the point where we realize our need for a Savior and ask forgiveness for our sins, and it is He who continually prods us when we need to ask for forgiveness when we do something wrong again. He does not condemn us, but convicts us (one translation uses the word "convinces" us of our sin). We are then come in contact with the Wordsmith, and as I have mentioned before, it is He who creates. So we have the Creator, God our Father represented by the Wordsmith. Finally in a picture that comes to life we are introduced to the Kid. This is important, for here we are introduced to the One who has been given the power to save. This is a shadow of God the Son, of Jesus. All of these are done with utmost care. We are told they are but shadows, images of the real thing. So I believe this is where the title comes from. The translated title would be, The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit"; something I think a lot of people would find offensive. Yet if a work of fiction we find this is exactly, or at least that is what I found, what Cliff is trying to convey to us, and has done so marvelously.

THE WORDSMITH, THE KID, AND THE ELECTROLUX, by Cliff Leigh


Friday - Another thing about this strange world Corey falls into is the absolute horror it can bring. Think about it. Is there anyone on the planet who wouldn't be absolutely horrified to run smack into themselves? We all have those secrets we try to keep hidden from others. We have already shown that we can't hide them from God, but what if we were suddenly confronted with them ourselves? Wouldn't that be the makings of a truly horrifying event? I happen to think so. I believe that while some of the horror movies and stories of today may have that element of horror and darkness, they don't come any where near the horror we would face if we were, for instance, forced to go into a house were we would meet ourselves as we truly are, warts and all, as they say. Is there anyone out there who would like to go through that experience? For those of you who just said "Yes, me", I have one simple question. If you really wanted to face the horror of yourself, then why are you trying to hide it from everyone so hard?

You may think all this has very little to do with THE WORDSMITH, THE KID, AND THE ELECTROLUX, but the truth is that slowly but surely Corey begins to see himself as he really is. What is worse, he's not really happy with what he sees. And as I've said, you could say this of any of us. We aren't immune. One of the reasons people don't like to go to counseling is that it means they will have to share a little of what they truly are with someone else, and in the process will have to face themselves to do it (which by the way is part of the reason to go to counseling).

God never leaves us without an option that can extract us from the horror we've placed ourselves in. The whole reason the Jesus came was to pull us out of a life that was heading for Hell (actually the Lake of Fire). In order to do that we are often made aware of who we really are. This isn't to make us feel worthless, or depressed, but so we can realize our need of a Savior. We read these words in Isaiah 40:6-8, “ All flesh is grass, And all its loveliness is like the flower of the field. The grass withers, the flower fades, Because the breath of the LORD blows upon it; Surely the people are grass. The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever.” This is what we are humanly speaking, but Scripture also says, "Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him." (2nd Cor. 5:20,21)

THE WORDSMITH, THE KID, AND THE ELECTROLUX, by Cliff Leigh


Thursday - One of the interesting things about THE WORDSMITH, THE KID, AND THE ELECTROLUX is the use of imagery. In fact, the world that Corey "falls" into is a world that is made up of pictures, literally. I mean there are these pictures, photographs, that fit seamlessly with the journey Corey has to make. What is more interesting is that Corey enters some of these pictures only to find them coming to life. Since I think in pictures this was a really great plus for me. There is also the fear of seeing yourself as you really are, and Clifford Leigh does this with imagery. It's beautiful. I don't want to get into these images too much because there is so much in this story that you'll absolutely love and I don't want to take any of that away from you.

There was another person who taught using pictures, his name was Jesus. I was once told that studies showed that people remember 25% of what they hear, but they remember 75% of what they see. In a story like this, or one of the parables of Jesus, both methods of teaching are combined. You both hear and see the story as it happens. When Jesus talked about the Prodigal Son, people saw in their minds what He meant. When Jesus talked about the sower and the seed they could easily picture that, since many of them did some farming even if they weren't farmers. When Jesus talked about the shepherd and the sheep this was another thing they could easily picture. Combined with the words of these stories Jesus was able to teach people things that are to this day truly fantastic. Not only that, but because He was combining both methods of communication there would be around 100% recall. This shouldn't surprise us, because Jesus IS the Word.

When you get to the Wordsmith there is a unique feeling that you are seeing a small shadow of who Jesus is. All he creates he does so with words. This is in keeping with Scripture, "In the beginning was the Word...and without Him was not anything made that has been made". (John 1:1,2) and in Genesis 1 where you keep reading about all the different creations of God. Each time God created something you read, "And God said..."

I want you to take a trip to the Matrix for a minute with me. For those who saw the original movie the real and the the imagined were two separate worlds, but it was the imagined world that was being sold to people as the real world. The real world, one kept hidden for the most part from everyone else, was the real world. So it is in our world. What you see outside your window is only a physical replica of something far greater. Not only that, but what you see out your window will one day come to an end. The real world is the world of God, where things of the Spirit are kept hidden from most of us. There are times when those of us who follow God catch glimpses of this world, but we can only catch glimpses. The fullness of it would overwhelm us. In the same way the Wordsmith is only a glimpse of who God the Creator is, who Jesus is. We shouldn't worship this glimpse, but realize that this tiny peek into God's world is so that we might draw closer to Him. "Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away. When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love." (1st Cor. 13:8-13) Notice what the apostle says is eternal and what is temporal. This is exactly what I see in Clifford Leigh's book.
