The book, "The Calling", by Jacob Israel is a riveting story, within an allegory,
within a parable.
It is an involved narrative
that has the reader
looking beyond what the
author has written.
I found myself driven,
page-after-page,
to find out who is this
Thomas James? Mysterious
characters in the
book tell us "The
truth will rise."
And Thomas writes
"…What will happen
when the truth is
poured out on a world that
is deceived?' This
question is answered in
stark reality.
The central character, Thomas James is a
young man who suffers
from nightmares, is

by his peers, and is bullied at school. His
perspective, however, changes to understanding
the viewpoints of his tormentors rather than
his own and his calming demeanor causing
confusion and hatred by those who come in
contact with him. Things move quickly to
a climax that does not disappoint.
Jacob Israel is an
excellent storyteller
that keeps his audience
captivated. I was
pleasantly surprised
to see, at the end
of
the book, that he
leaves room for more
adventures
with Thomas. Due
to Jacob's talent
as a writer,
I expect we will
be reading more from
him
and l look forward
to that event! |
