The Chair
By James Rubart
Published by Broadman and Holman Publishers
This is the second book of James Rubart's that I have read, and my favorite of the two.
The Chair is the story of Corin Roscoe, an antiques dealer with a business in trouble, who is given a special chair from a seemingly random woman one day. When she gives him the chair, she claims that it is a special chair made by the best carpenter in the world.
As Corin tries to find the true origin of the chair, he encounters miracles along the way. A young boy is healed of his asthma after sitting in it. Is this chair able to perform miracles?!
His research takes him to the depth of danger as he soon finds out that he is not the only one interested in the origin of the chair, and that he is not the only one who will do anything to possess it.
The story is one of faith and longing. Of love and betrayal. Of hope and longing. Of miracles seen and miracles denied.
The Chair is a book I would highly recommend. And the best part of the book is the end. :) Read it. You'll be glad you did.
