Although the story is fiction and may not be theologically sound, in order to find truth in Mack’s road to forgiveness we must have an open mind to the Holy Trinity, blame, and the effects of dwelling on the past. The depiction of the Holy Trinity by the author is unorthodox at best, but not far from the truth. The first character we come in contact with is God the Father (Papa), portrayed by a large African American woman.

They even drove up and sat in their golf carts when the services were held outside in the spring and summer.

I specialized in mathematics and “rules of civility” in my early years of study (Alden, 2005). On matters of religion I worshipped at the Church of England -Episcopal. I went to live with my half brother Lawrence after my father’s death in 1743. The loss of my father was a big blow to me as I had become very close to him. He used to guide me on all matters of life and I consulted him in any difficulty.
It was very hard for me to understand (at the time) how such a loving God would allow such an amazing, loving, compassionate, and authentic man of God to get so sick and in the end go to heaven at the age of 45. In fact, it took me quite a few years to actually understand that it wasn't done to my family, it happened for God's greater good and kingdom purpose. My Dad never lost his faith. He always gave Thanks and Praise to God for blessing him with his family, the ability to love, and the freedom to learn about Christ's character. Today, I can look back with peace and understand all the pain and hurt was worth it, because now I walk and seek the same passionate relationship with my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
