Seriously I am new to this author. I love this book. I like the fact he made the main character a educated Christian African-American PATRIOT! A man who loves God but is just a man. I understand where Mr. Robinson was going and at his end credits he is right. Most other Christians would have been killed by now with 5.5 million people and the hate mail. Mr. Robinson says he is a Christian. Clearly he knows bible. Was this work blasphemous? Ask God HE answers HIS children. Apparently God has allowed him to write his fictional stories with religious overtones. Amen. Some of my Brothers and Sisters in Christ will be mortified and outraged. However you are the same ones who will pat Stephen King on the back for his work. To you my fellow Christians I say this. GET OVER YOURSELVES. Judge NOT less thee be judged. Thank you Mr. Robinson I enjoyed your work. God Bless you and your family.
