A Perilous Time, by N Kurz (Dogwood Publishing, 146pp, 2025, $14.99)
Though the front cover is magnetic, I could not easily make the connection between it and the book's topics itself. In addition, I feel A Perilous Time will resonate with only a small group of readers.
However, even with illustrating key points by using contemporary examples such as the bombing of the Alfred Murrah federal building in 1995 in Oklahoma City, the themes are universal with many questions about faith deserving their own chapter. For example, Is God a Real Person? Where is God? and others like Does He Really Care? How Powerful is God? and What Does He Know?
Kurz' writing style is quite good (seamless) as is the use of quotes (though possibly overused) and it is evident the author has spent a considerable amount of time researching the topic, a painstaking endeavor. Each chapter focuses on a different question that Christians must come to grips with in order to truly believe.
Well-organized, this third book in the Window of Opportunity trilogy, Perilous almost reads like a sermon, bringing in both the King James Version and the New International Version of the Bible.
