The following is a synopsis of a short novel that I wrote prior to 9/11, the link for which is to your left on this page.
Isaac Crockett And Me.........April 12, 2014
Isaac Crockett is the lead singer of one of America's top bands. He is also a Christian. On a visit back home, Ocean City New Jersey, he meets a young lady who is in distress... helps her, and never expects to see her again. Successful and well thought of as he is, Isaac then leaves Rock and Roll behind.
Anne Wiskovitz is Roman Catholic with a very devout father named Casimer. Surprise, Isaac and Anne do meet again in another short...chance....encounter! Isaac pursues what he believes is God's call on his life as he struggles with his new found love for this beautiful Catholic girl with a very protective father. During the course of these thirty two short chapters Isaac meets Casimer in his home in Easton, Pennsylvania, makes a visit to an awards ceremony in New York City, is mugged in his hometown, assaulted by the owner of the local professional hockey team, walks the battlefields of Gettysburg as he ponders the courage of these Americans and...well I can't tell everything but Roman Catholicism is the main reason that I attempted this novel and I hope that you might give it a try.
Both sides of my family, mother's and father's, were and are Roman Catholic and I love them dearly but there is a chasm between the two faiths on many beliefs and particularly on what salvation is. My mother and I had many, many....many talks over the years and prayed through David's beautiful 23rd Psalm only days before she died in March of 2014. As I wrote at the end of the above post my short novel was written to address this great salvation through story telling and dialogue.
I haven't addressed Roman Catholicism much if at all in the five years of these posts. Rather I emphasized the Five Solas from the Reformation of the 16th century. Those five solas are: Sola Fide or Faith Alone, Sola Gratia or Grace Alone, Solus Christus or Christ Alone. Sola Scriptura or Scripture Alone and Soli Deo Gloria or Glory To God Alone.
The issues of the Reformation can obviously be researched in books and elsewhere but my recommendation for someone that wants to cut to the quick would be to listen as often as one can to a unique Internet/radio ministry at www.refnet.fm
