A Message from God

In essence, "Message from God" is about a 12-year-old boy who sustains severe brain injuries in a car accident and how God miraculously first heals him and now speaks to him through the Holy Spirit. The title also contains letters and journal inscriptions from Aldo in his own handwriting as he tries to convey the central message that Jesus is alive and coming back for His bride! This real-life drama is told by Aldo's mother, who has since become a sought-after speaker at churches and women's conferences, both locally and internationally. The first part of the title is a powerful testimony of God's healing power and love for His children, while the last section of the title teaches the principles for living an abundant life. "People don't know or recognise the power of God anymore," says Retha MC Pherson. "Whenever God's awesome power is manifested and miracles happen, people are sceptical, asking, 'What church do they belong to?', but I want to tell people that God still performs miracles today. He still talks to His children and He cannot stand lukewarm Christians." Retha explains that God wants our all. "He wants your entire life! Not just your heart," she says.Filled with scripture references, and direct quotes from the Bible, "Message from God" will ignite the sparks of the Holy Spirit in your life and bring you closer to God, while Aldo's letters give a sense of authenticity not often found in miracle stories. This title challenges the complacent church to do introspection. It asks; is God still your first love? Are you really sold-out to Him? These and other pertinent questions have started the debate in the church about its Christ-expectancy and are causing a stir among people from all denominations who seek God's face in earnest.
