God has a university. It’s a small school. Few enrol; even fewer graduate. Very, very few indeed. God has this school because he does not have broken men and women. Instead, he has several other types of people. He has people who claim to have God’s authority… and don’t – people who claim to be broken… and aren’t. And people who do have God’s authority, but who are (mad and) unbroken.  In God’s sacred school of submission and brokenness, why are there so few students? Because all students in this school must suffer much pain.

A Tale Of Three Kings has been around for quite some time, and is very popular… but for some reason I only discovered it recently, and am so glad I did! This book is a difficult book to categorize. It’s fiction and non-fiction at the same time. Regardless of the genre, every Christian needs to read it.

A Tale Of Three Kings explores the life of the Bible Kings’ Saul, David and Absalom. I found it extremely interesting to read Edward’s profound insights into these ‘three kings’ and it was very impacting on my views and thoughts regarding relationships and what I considered to be right or wrong. You could even say there was a slight twist in the book which gave an impacting blow to my soul… ouch, but very appreciated.

This is one book that every Christian should read, as it will relate to any relationship dynamic. I do wish I had discovered this book earlier. This is the kind of book you want to own a few copies of as you will want it to lend to others! A quick and impacting read I would highly recommend.
