The Greening by Margaret Coles

  The Greening by Margaret Coles is a novel filled with mystery, love, and adventure. While this book is fictional it is based upon a book written by a woman named Julian who had visions of Jesus and the crucifixion.

 In the book The Greening by Margaret Coles the author shows us through the main character, Joanna, a journalist, that God is love and the meaning of everything is love. We are taken on a journey by the journalist to discover meaning and find that God is not a God of vengeance. We are shown that whatever comes our way, "all shall be well".  We are taught about a God that loves us and does not see our sin.

 In The Greening the main character sees that we all have to come to our own personal Calvary where hope and grief meet in order to surrender control and find peace.

 This book reminded me of The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield in that it shows us important concepts in story form.

 While there was a significant christian undertone to the book, I found that its' overall encompassing message of love is one everyone can relate to.  I think that this is a wonderful first novel by Margaret Coles.

I acknowledge that I received this book free of charge from Hay House in exchange for an unbiased review of the book.
