Review: The God Whistle

The Story

Adam and Mary are a typical American couple with two young children, a boy and a girl, living the typical life as millions of other families do.  Everything goes awry, however, at the wedding of friends that Mary attends alone, leaving their family split apart with judgments about Mary’s character adding to the weight of her guilt.

What I Found Inspirational

The God Whistle by Ralph Nelson Willett is a story about what it means to trust and live within God’s will for all He intends his faithful to accomplish. It will provoke thought about rushing to judgment and meting out punishment, taking the place of what God tells us is his and his alone to do; and, through the power of the Holy Spirit—the ability to forgive what seems to be unforgivable.

God comes into the lives of each of his children in the way that is needed at the time.  How that may be, when we listen He will show himself, give counsel and heal in a way that is right.  That is what happens to Mary and Adam, and it brings their future into the Lord's will, and their lives into a harmony that is united as a good hymn is to its tune.

The symbolism used within the story should not be lost to the reader.  The old Adam is healed through the woman chosen to give birth to the new life, and by that anything and anyone can be healed through Jesus Christ, Son of God, who takes away sin. I am reminded of Psalm 30:5b (ESV): Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning. 

A significant implied theme that should not be overlooked in The God Whistle is Armistice Day, the day on which the treaty was signed bringing an end to the “War to end all wars,” bringing peace, healing and hope to a broken world.  

A Christian fiction book from beginning to end, I recommend The God Whistle by Ralph Nelson Willett.
