Aban’s Accension

To the author’s credit, avoids religiosity and preachiness . . . With this approach, Jeejeebhoy lets Aban’s Accension remain a gentle allegory, which may play in the reader’s consciousness (as it has mine) for weeks or months.

    • Revelation 2 Thoughts So Far
      on April 13, 2024

      What is the Resurrection like? Revelation is supposed to tell us. Here’s what I’ve understood so far from chapter 2. It ain’t Heaven, and it requires work. But it’s not an exclusive club, either.

    • Revelation: Chapter 2, Verses 8 to 11
      on April 6, 2024

      The Letter to Smyrna warned them of suffering to come, echoing in a way how groups and individuals today are hounded. Did their test of faith lead to their reward? We don’t know yet. And it’s the same for us. Is faith worth torturous endurance?

    • Revelation: Chapter 2, Verses 1 to 7
      on March 30, 2024

    The book is divided into chapters where some are like a novel because she is telling us her thoughts through this nightmare and then [other chapters are] more like science information . . . to give encouragement and advice. A very brave woman.
