Isanne’s Revelation is a short story filled to
overflowing with inspiration. Laura Hogg weaves a tale bound to make you
believe in miracles as only “The Lord” can perform.
Symon de Burgh is dying of the plague, his wife Isanne can not forgive him
for infecting their daughter who lies dying in her room. She begs him to
have faith – the last words he hears as he passes from consciousness. When
he awakens he’s in the future and he knows through his newly acquired faith
that he must find Isanne so they can go back in time and save their precious
child.
Truly Isanne’s Revelation is a wonderful heartwarming story of faith.
The true feelings of the characters are realistic from the deep sorrow that
Symon experiences to the angry refusal to forgive that Isanne carries around
with her. But with their faith in God they learn that all things are
possible.
I read this story on Easter and I couldn’t have picked a better time to
reinforce faith at its most vivid. Take an hour from your busy life and give
Isanne’s Revelation a read – you won’t be disappointed and you may just
find a revelation of your own.
