Keeping Faith

To be honest, there are a whole lot of things I would like to post on my blog lately but I didn’t have the time to. Why? – Its just because I’m pretty much preoccupied with another of Jodi Picoult’s book, Keeping Faith. This is yet another brilliantly written book by Picoult with a good ol’ courtroom story that revolves around the life of a little girl who interacts with God upon her parents’ divorce. I don’t know if seeing God or interacting with God would cause how much ciaos since God Himself lives in us. Still, this book brings out a good sense of how the media portrays God and how different religions see God in a different form.

Of course, the issue in the book is the God the little girl sees is a female God and the traditional portrayal of God is often seen as male. But I guess what matters most is how much we love, devote and willing to give to God, regardless of what gender He/She is. This book hasn’t change much of my perceptions of God, but it does strengthen my faith. No matter what others think of Him, He is still the best Father I could ever asked for.
