A Tale of Three Kings
“Saul is in your bloodstream, in the marrow of your bones. He makes up the very flesh and muscle of your heart. He is mixed into your soul. He inhabits the nuclei of your atoms.”
No one who reads this blog has ever suffered at the hands of self-righteous, authoritarian church leaders, I’m sure.
But just in case you do, here’s some excerpts from A Tale of Three Kings: A Study in Brokenness by Gene Edwards [PDF]. He does take some liberties (and arguably makes some blunders) with the biblical narrative, but his message is both encouraging and convicting.
“Dedicated to the brokenhearted Christians coming out of authoritarian groups, seeking solace, healing and hope. May you somehow recover and go on with Him who is liberty.
And to Christians who have been, or presently are, involved in the heart-rending experience of a division within your fellowship. May this story give you light, clarity and comfort. And may you, too, somehow recover and go on with Him who is peace.
And may you both be so utterly healed that you can still answer the call of Him who asks for all because He is all.”
