Through reading both the internet, the many books on different religions and Maria’s help, Jeremy discovers that Christianity is the one true religion. Now, Jeremy is faced with another question. Which denomination is true to Christianity? After all, there are so many!
Jeremy turns again to the internet and more books for answers. Confusion sets in when Jeremy finds ministers who have turned their backs on Christianity and who are now atheists.
Jeremy and Maria spend New Years Eve at church with their youth group so they can ring in the New Year with their friends. After midnight, the youth group decides to attend a New Years’ after-party. Little do Jeremy and Maria know, their New Year will start out with a bang! They’re in a terrible car crash that leaves Maria in a coma.
Why did God let this happen? Jeremy’s question is answered when, just a few days later, Maria has a miraculous recovery that the doctors can’t explain. They say that because of the shape Maria was in, she should have emerged from the coma with some damage.
At first I was a little put off by the links to Christian websites throughout the book. After wondering “why”, the answer slowly dawned on me. It’s for any reader who has the same questions that Jeremy does. These links give the reader a starting point for his journey.
I loved this book and highly recommend it! ‘All The Stillness of The Wind’ should be not only in every church library but in every personal library as well.
