The stories of this book are about the permanent interaction between God and humankind. These narratives invite us to witness the manner in which God enters human community in all of its complexities, struggles, challenges, fears, and ultimately, hope. Hemchand Gossai not only discusses the large variety of themes within this texts, he also keeps an eye on the implications for the Church and contemporary readers. Some experiences, like the barrenness, wilderness and the wrestling with God, are described in a very close way as metaphors. The richness and texture of metaphors allow the reader to embrace these stories in a way that makes them our stories.
