King Ben-Hadad of Aram worries about Naaman's God, whom he hears is invisible and has more power than Rimmon, his dark god. He believes that he needs to fight and defeat Yahweh to maintain relevance. Yahweh had been revealed to Naaman, who suffered from leprosy and paid a visit to Elisha, whom he had learned about from a maidservant, Eliora. Naaman was cured by simply doing as Elisha had instructed, and his healing had been witnessed by those who had accompanied him. News of his healing spread over firepits in Aram and was soon on everyone's lips. The king is determined to defeat Yahweh and his messenger, Elisha. Naaman is resolved to face any consequence as a result of his newfound loyalty to Yahweh.

"God’s Illuminating Blindness: God’s Conquering of a Dark-Hearted Nation" by Dwight David Croy is a beautifully written book. Seeing the book's title, I wondered how blindness can be illuminating and if the story was about Saul. However, I believe the story that the author tells in this book indeed displays God's illuminating blindness in a greater light. The book shows us how much courage followers of Yahweh are filled with when they get to experience his light. It takes us through a path of change and new experiences. We learn to trust God and remove fear, knowing that he will certainly protect his own.

The actions of the characters in the story are strongly similar to present-day happenings. Leaders are scared of welcoming change, which will stop the oppression of the poor. We see in this book how the love of Yahweh brought both the "big" and "small" people of Aram together in friendship, and this opens us to the idea of what the shared love of God can do for us in today's world. The author ensured that the book contained footnotes that explained the meaning of some words and names used in the book. I found this really helpful.

Dwight David Croy invites every reader to share in the experience of knowing Yahweh. He shares with us prayers and actions that can help foster our relationship with God. I found nothing to dislike about this book while I read it. It prompted the need to know more about the light that comes with knowing Yahweh. The book was also professionally edited and gets a deserving 5 out of 5. I recommend this book to everyone looking to know more about Yahweh and witness Yahweh in his glory.

The book effectively captures the tension between the darkness of idolatry and the illuminating power of Yahweh. Croy’s vivid portrayal of the characters and their motivations brings the biblical story to life, making it relevant to contemporary readers. The inclusion of footnotes is a valuable addition, enhancing the reader’s understanding of the historical and cultural context.

While the author skillfully weaves together biblical themes and modern interpretations, the narrative occasionally feels repetitive. Nonetheless, God’s Illuminating Blindness is a thought-provoking read that invites reflection on the enduring power of faith and the consequences of choosing darkness over light.
