SCOTTSDALE, Az., November 3 /Christian Newswire/ -- Much of the chaos in the world today is the result of the embrace of "moral relativism," where the concepts of good and evil are frequently redefined to fit the latest trendy circumstances. The mainstream media, Hollywood liberals, the ACLU, even certain branches of our government have succeeded in undermining respect for authority, our peers, our parents and especially for God and the moral absolutes He represents. Personal ego--the ultimate manifestation of the "self esteem" movement of the 70's--has replaced societal norms such as respect and common civility with an edgy, self-centered behavior showing very little sense of decency.
Be Still opens with the emotional election of a new Pope, and an ominous warning. Some unlikely messengers in different parts of the world claim to have been visited by an angel. Emmy-winning television reporter Amanda Fox dismisses the reports but is slowly drawn into investigating how an exactly worded message was delivered to a diversity of people in their own language.
Of one encounter Young writes:
"Can you tell me what happened?" Amanda asked gently.
He looked at her without speaking. Finally he said quietly, "It was here. I was sleeping. I heard someone call me. 'Manny,' she said. I turned over and saw a woman." Tears began to well in his eyes as he continued. "She called my name again and said that God loves me and has chosen me to bring a message to the world." He stopped and took a breath.
"What was the message?"
He looked at her and said, "She said that she wanted me to tell them that God has loved His people but they have not loved Him." He stopped and began to sob softly. He continued brokenly, "And then she said to tell God’s people to prepare themselves."
Be Still is a timely novel that delivers a much-needed message in an enthralling, revelatory story.
Pamela Young and her husband divide their time between Arizona and Oregon.
