On behalf of God?,
By Kris (Oxnard, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: O. J. Simpson Murder Case: The Story of the Mystery Woman (Paperback)
Tara Persaud is described as a prophetess on the back cover of this book. She is also a Christian from Toronto, Canada, who was "called" to pray at the O.J. Simpson trial.This book is a collaboration between her and her Los Angeles contact, Rev. Lewis Smith of the Crenshaw church in Los Angeles. Ms. Persaud is also now a member of this church. Unfortunately for her readers, Ms. Persaud, and Rev. Smith have written a mostly dull book. The only interesting parts are when they write exclusively about the trial itself, leaving out what God has told Tara Persaud to do. Basically, God keeps telling Tara to fly again and again from Toronto to Los Angeles to attend the trial. Other than that, there really isn't much of a mystical nature in this book. There's no parting of waters, turning water into wine, or anything closely related. Tara did say that one day, when a rumor was going around of trouble outside the Courthouse, she stood up and more or less chastised the crowd, and, guess what? They fell back across the street. Is that God working? The only real mystery about the "mystery woman" referenced in the title of this book is, "Why did she write this book?" Was she trying to piggy-back like so many others on an event that captured the lurid interest of people all over the world? And, if so, to what end? Well, clearly, Persaud had an ethical and moral purpose, that is, she wanted us to see how powerful God is that He, She, or It can even affect current events. Unfortunately, the book leaves just the opposite impression: Although God may have told Tara to go pray for those involved in the trial, it had very little affect on anything that happened. But she did get a chance to get of out Toronto (brrrrr!) several times to come to a mild climate. Then she became a published author. God did work on her behalf, after all. Diximus.
