The mystery is in our midst
We live in a time of dark perspectives. Wars, climate change, violence and evil. Many wonder: If God exists, why does he allow all this to happen?
Surprisingly, as the book shows, it is still Christianity that can give us hope, and has the power of renewal from its roots.
Based on life lived, the book describes how God has opened a new way for people to receive his help at a time when we will need His help more than ever.
Through 16 conversations, we get to know two people who have been brought together by chance: Lasse Tornquist and the 13-year-older Hans Brochmann. Lasse has had a profound spiritual experience with far-reaching consequences. He is keen to communicate this, while Hans, who has cancer and knows he has a short time to live, is most concerned with Lasse the man and the path he has travelled through life. In the dynamic between the two, realisations and life lived are linked into a unity that opens up completely new perspectives.
Two seemingly insignificant people in the crowd, yet touched by sublime insights into human existence, elevated by the love hidden in their conversations. This is the real driving force of the story.
Two thought-provoking Norwegian fairy tales are interpreted into our time, similarly, how Vidar in Norse mythology defeated the Fenris Wolf, the beast that fed on human lies. These are examples of God's providence. What is happening in our time seems to have been prepared from a long time ago.
