"The Christ Light is an artful sketch of the history of redemption
with a survey of the central teachings of the Christian faith and
of Christian living. It is an impressionistic recitation of the
grand storyline of the Trinity's work in creation and redemption.
Key theme words are woven together in the telling: purpose and
meaning; life, food, and space (God's promises). Hoogsteen provides
an abundance of scriptural references to underscore his semi-poetic
telling. Even if a reader might not agree with every formulation,
still this fascinating recitation will provoke imagination and
thoughtful reflection."
--M. VanderHart, Mid-America Theological Seminary
"Steeped deeply in the authority of the Word of God, T. Hoogsteen
weaves the biblical covenantal overview with both theological
excellence and form. In his latest work, The Christ Light, prose
and poetry combine to elicit both deep thought and feeling as we
observe God in all His revelatory roles throughout history. The
radiant splendor of 'Christ, who is the Light' is unmistakable as
the reader is immersed in revelation that flows from the original
creation to God's future kingdom; or as Hoogsteen writes, 'from
Eden's gate onwards, He (God) moved history for the reformed
Eschaton.'"
--Brian D. Beattie, Lead Pastor, Freedom House International Church
