What is at stake in The Glimpse?
This is an inspirational story about forgiveness. At its core, it centers 
on the relationship between a father and an adult son and how vital it is to a son (regardless of his age) to be loved and accepted by his father. But what if that relationship is strained, stressed or severed? Can it be saved? This is what Nick Conway, a 39-year old rising advertising executive, strives to find out when he attempts to reconnect with his estranged father whom he hasn’t seen in years.
This novel asks, “Is reconciliation possible if only one party is willing to forgive?”
Why do readers care about this novel?
Readers care about this novel because at some point in their lives they will need forgiveness. We all have significant relationships that have been damaged through our own human failings. We need to know why we should forgive, how we should forgive, and have a model of forgiveness. This book will point to God through fictional characters.
The reader will be changed by considering the notion suggested in this novel that God often reveals himself to us in “glimpses.” And those glimpses are all around us—usually in the everyday lives of everyday people.
Finally, people will be changed by this book as they realize that our faith doesn’t always change our circumstances, but it always changes us.
What is the take-away of The Glimpse?
This would be giving away too much of the book. I don’t want to do that. Plus, while the novel includes some compelling twists and turns, I have an intended take-away, but the beauty of reading any book is every reader arrives at their own take-away.
If you had a scriptural foundation for The Glimpse what verse would it be?
I would say, Ephesians 4:32. “Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.” ESV
