Review: A Moment That Sparked Infinity

A Moment That Sparked Infinity book cover on blue background

Imagine seeing yourself reflected in an art piece at the museum and discovering that it's been you all along. This scene kicks off quite the time travel scenario where infinite possibilities can exist at the same time. A Moment That Sparked Infinity by Dannica Mae Howell ponders this theory, plus so much more as Melody and Will discover what it means to belong together throughout time.

Book Thoughts

This story about simulations colliding into each other to create an alternate reality was as engrossing as it was intriguing. I enjoyed the main characters and wanted to find out how they became trapped in an ongoing loop of scenarios. The physics and psychology behind this book were compelling, and I liked thinking through all of the factors described, including the coding and the intended usage of the technology created in the story. What I loved most was how well it conveyed the ongoing presence and omnipotence of God in a way that was delightfully creative while engaging the imagination.

As a result, this science fiction novel was intellectually and emotionally riveting in taking readers along on quite the historical and futuristic journey. It helped that the main characters were likeable and demonstrated strong ethics while trapped in circumstances beyond their control. I appreciated the author's intention in writing such a unique story about the human mind, free will, and selfless love while exploring the perils of self-sufficiency, obsession, and entitlement. If you enjoy reading a tale with a balance of mathematics and storytelling, A Moment That Sparked Infinity is an adventure that combines feats of engineering with the feats of God's love and provision.

All the Cheese

I've been coming across content within the past several weeks that has stereotyped Christian books (and other mediums) as being cheesy on Christian accounts. While this isn't a new label or even a new topic, what has surprised me somewhat has been seeing more Christian authors jump into this conversation who wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment. Although some authors will name others whom they believe are writing non-cheesy fiction, I feel as though the damage has been done by repeating this blanket statement. While readers have freely been engaging in this type of commentary for some time, it's been interesting to see authors chime in, where in some cases, there seems to be an emphasis on self-promotion over reflection. I'm not stereotyping and saying that all authors or even the authors I'm connected to respond with this tactic (because I really don't think they do!), but there are a few out there from my limited experience who seem to respond to this disc...

Just in time for the upcoming spring season, a new series launches today. A Garden Grows , the first book in the Hills of Harvest series by Karen Higgins , is one that will have you planning and desiring to plant the garden of your dreams once the weather clears up.

Many thanks to Mountain Brook Ink for providing a complimentary copy of this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own. Book Synopsis One plucky widow, six scrubby acres, and an unlikely group of gardeners, all brought together by a long-ago promise. Fifty years is a long time to wait. Posey knows Elliot meant his promise, and oh, how he tried, but time and money didn’t grow on the sagebrush blanketing their high-desert land. Neither did life go exactly the way they planned. Now, Elliot is gone, the sound of his plea ringing in her ears ... “Build the garden, my love!” This English ga...
