He had read just enough philosophy and history to support his skepticism.Īs far as I was concerned, the case was closed. He was familiar with plenty of university professors who knew Jesus as an iconoclastic Jew, a revolutionary, or a sage, but not God. God was just mythology, superstition, or wishful thinking.Īs a graduate of Yale Law School, an investigative reporter, and eventual legal affairs editor for the Chicago Tribune, Strobel was familiar with the weighing of evidence.

In fact, it leaves one craving for more of Tracy Whitney, even at the end of the novel albeit being utterly satisfying with the end results of the story. Her character in the novel feeds all the pre-requisites of the reader. Coming from Sheldon’s imaginary world, the novel is centered on a woman, portraying her as the hero, rather than the conventional heroine of the story. The novel was published in 1985, an era when the word “feminism” had not caught its roots even in western culture. This novel is penned down in such a beautiful way that the flow of the storyline is both mind-boggling and mesmerizing. “ If Tomorrow Comes”, I assert as a forbidden jewel, a masterpiece from the mastermind, Sidney Sheldon. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Their passion blazes with an intensity Merritt has never known before, making her long for the one thing she can't have from Keir MacRae: forever.
