Wakulla Book Review: "Love, Justice and Power" by Martin Roth


“Love, Justice and Power” by Martin Roth

This is a brief study of the Passover, as recorded in Exodus 12-14. It is very well written and gives great insight in a concise manner. God is portrayed as being a personal God who wants a relationship with us. God is also revealed to desire us to glorify Him through our lives.

Explaining the Passover as a model for the work of Christ, we see that Jesus is the unblemished Lamb that God sacrificed so His judgement could pass over us. The Passover as the means of leading the Israelites out of Egyptian captivity symbolizes Christ Jesus’ sacrifice leading us out of sin’s captivity!

The Love God displayed during the Passover is a mere shadow of the Love God displayed on Calvary. 

The power of God to part the sea and lead Israel through safety before drowning their pursuers is minuscule to the power of the death, burial and resurrection of Christ Jesus. In short, the message of Passover is the Message of JESUS!

Excellent study! Four and a half stars! I subtracted a half because I wanted more!!

Nike Chillemi's Deadly Designs


About the Book:
Private investigator Veronica "Ronnie" Ingels teams up with Deputy Dawson Hughes to find a geeky radio broadcaster's missing wife and young daughter. They fear the woman and child were taken by Islamic terrorists as revenge against the husband's pro-Israel, conspiracy theory broadcasts. The investigation takes Ronnie and Hughes from a manicured Connecticut estate, to interviews with an elitist A-List society crowd, and run-ins with cranky local police detectives. Then they plunge deep into the seamy, drug-riddled underbelly of the fashion world, with the specter of international terrorism hovering.

Hughes has recently been promoted to lieutenant in the Taylor County, Texas Sheriff's Department. He's on leave on a special assignment with Authorized Operations (AO), a clandestine, quasi-government agency operating out of a sea-side mansion in Hither Hills, NY. The only thing is, many powerful politicians, and government big-wigs claim Authorized Operations doesn't exist.

Ronnie is furious at both Hughes and the broadcaster for waiting thirty-six hours to start the search. She knows the longer it takes, the less chance there is of finding the child alive. The problem is, radio talk-show host Ed Harper has been hoping-against-hope that his pot-smoking, model wife is on one of her 'esoteric experiences' and has simply taken the child while she romps for a few days. He doesn't want to seriously consider the other, more hazardous possibility… that his radio broadcasts have angered some very dangerous people.
