This story is about the wrath of tragic grief and how self renewal is the key for any future possibilities or reconciliation of the past.
Daniel Pallson is considered by most to have everything one could ask for as one of the wealthiest self made people in the world, however in reality since he tragically lost his son twenty years ago he has been one of the emptiest. Since then he has shut most everything out of his life including his wife, extended family, faith in himself, spirituality and all except his successful business.
A long time American citizen and resident Daniel returns to his native Iceland for a very important business project. While on this trip he suffers a life threatening event that does not allow him to leave the country any time soon. Daniels only option where to convalesce is at his estranged brothers ranch where they both grew up. Daniels wife Doris with whom he separated from years ago also comes from her home in Boston knowing this is a life or death situation. To his complete dismay Daniel must now face not only his own mortality but all he shunned all these years. What is his final answer?
Christian Fiction books are a favorite genre of mine. His Final Answer by Christopher D. White and Jennifer Curran is the latest book in this genre that I have read.
WOW, this book had me captivated from the very beginning. The main character in the book is Daniel Pallson. Daniel was "living the life" and making a name for himself. He had achieved many accomplishments in life and has wealth. He really felt empty inside, as he had lost his son 20yrs ago. He took a trip to his native country, Iceland, for business. A life threatening medical emergency really made him look back at the past and make some decisions about moving forward. I really think the message of this book is very strong, that loss and grief can really leave us empty, even if we think we are holding it all together. We can isolate ourselves from family, friends, our faith and so much more. Faith and Spirituality can really bring us to a point of really LIVING and being in a peaceful place with God, ourself, and others. I HIGHLY recommend this book for anyone who enjoys Christian Fiction with a touch of real life. GREAT BOOK!
