About the Author
Jane Lursen –
The clarity of Dr. Blumenthal’s writings leaves little doubt of his understanding of human nature, its romances, tragedies, ills and joys. It appears he has personal knowledge of each character and their deepest needs; but it is the Hope inspired by each conclusion which is uplifting. His impeccable timing and use of description can move one to tears or to return to ones youth, but it is his ability to verbalize the wonder of the eternal effects still expanding through time loosed by that single moment when God breathed into Adam that causes contemplation.
Dan S. –
These are amusing and easy-to-read stories; the writing is excellent. The stories are all different, though if there is a common theme, it’s that they all have a moral that is consistent with Biblical principles. The stories cut across several genres from historical studies to sci-fi. Each one is an imaginative tale in a unique setting. The strong suit — no surprise since the author is a clinical psychologist — is the depictions of human nature, especially under fire. Well done.
