Dear Gabriel

About the Book

Dear Gabriel is an attempt to look into the mind of God. What does God think about what is going on in his world? Ultimately, what is going to happen? How big is our God in grace and justice? The author lays open his mind and heart to what he truly believes is at the heart and mind of God. Is it possible that we will be forgiven? Is it possible that punishment and judgment come as the consequences of our own doing?
