Are We Amongst The Chosen Few?

あらすじ
The Holy Bible teaches us that many are called but few are chosen. Broad is the way to Hell and narrow is the way to Heaven. The Good News for the reader is that the meek in Spirit and the poor who are righteous are going to inherit the Kingdom of Heaven. While Jesus was dwelling on this earth, he prayed for all believers "Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world". Thus, many are called by his name but few are chosen to Eternity. The question is "Are we amongst the Chosen few?" It is plausible that this book would provide the elucidation to our dishevelled Life's journey and persuade the reader to ponder and think about the current situation and encourage the minds of the reader to reconcile with their Creator and help them to get rid of the worries of this world and the COVID Pandemic that they all want to pass over this quite quickly.
作品考察・見どころ
本書は聖書の深遠な教えを現代の混迷に照らし合わせ、魂の救済の本質を問い直す一作です。著者のアレクサンダーは「選ばれし者」という峻厳な真理を、単なる教義の解説ではなく、パンデミックを経て疲弊した我々の日常を癒やす希望の光として鮮やかに描き出しています。 天国への「狭き門」を目指す孤独な旅路を、創造主との和解という慈愛に満ちた物語へと昇華させた点は見事というほかありません。理不尽な苦難に満ちた現世をいかに生き抜くべきか。読者はページを捲るごとに自らの精神を激しく揺さぶられ、騒乱の世を越えた先にある永遠の安らぎへと強く惹きつけられることでしょう。
