Reseña del libro "Charlotte's web and the Gospel (en Inglés)"
This book helps people see the story of Charlotte's Web in a new way as it unveils comparisons to the Gospel events of the New Testament much like C. S. Lewis's The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe. Readers are awe struck as their attention is drawn to these unique comparisons and find inspiration by E. B. White's story published decades ago. In the early years of my life, I recall watching Charlotte’s Web on television and fell in love with the story. In December 2006, Charlotte’s Web hit the big screen for the first time since its inception. E.B. White’s story inspired a new generation. The kids were out of school for the holidays, and my wife and I decided to take our three daughters, Noel, Leona and Leondria, to see Charlotte’s Web. They were ecstatic about the movie, and my heart brimmed over with extraordinary bliss about spending time with my family. As I watched the movie with forty-four-year-old clergy eyes, my theological radar went off numerous times as I detected some life lessons taught by a little eight-year-old girl name Fern, a pig named Wilbur and a spider named Charlotte, along with a host of other farm animals. I leaned over to Yolanda and said, “Hey, there are many lessons to be learned from this movie.” “Do you feel like God is speaking to you?” she asked.“Yes,” I replied. “What God wants me to say about this story will become clearer in time.” About a week later, I awoke around 5:30 A.M. and as I lay in bed thinking, I had what could be deemed an inspired moment. As I thought about the story, all of a sudden out of my inner well of insight, four words surfaced that summed up the story in its entirety. The words salvation, identification, vocation and destination came to mind. Immediately, I got up and wrote them down with all certainty that the sermon God had given me about this story would be centered on these four words.
