The Waiting Room II

THE WAITING ROOM II AND THE SAVED THIEF "The Waiting Room II" delves deep into the tapestry of human emotions, cultural pride, traditional wisdom, and divine providence. Set in an African milieu, the narrative unfolds with a vibrancy that is both culturally rich and emotionally resonant. Central to the narrative are the biblical characters of Isaac and Ishmael, sons of Abraham. The juxtaposition of these figures adds a layer of complexity to the story, seamlessly weaving biblical themes into the cultural fabric of the Yoruba setting. The narrative takes a compelling turn as it explores the relationship between these half-brothers against the backdrop of a grand celebration-Isaac's birthday party. "The Saved Thief" is a modern retelling of the saved thief on the cross with Jesus at Calvary. It focuses on a friend's pursuit of saving another. In the story, a boy is led astray, a boy who has always been lost discovers what it means to know Jesus, and a girl learns that, while she has no control over her friend's salvation, her Father does.
