Sunrise On the Battery is the book “Radical” by David Platt, put into fiction.  The story centers around Mary Lynn and Jackson Scoville.  The Scoville family have everying any family could ever want.  An enormous house, wealth, beautiful kids, and being on the verge of reaching the pinacle of society in Charleston.  Mrs. Scoville began joining a Bible study and became a Christian and started down the life of leading a “normal” Christian life.  Their life started to change when Mary Lynn prayed for her husband to receive Christ.  Through some truth seeking Jackson accepted Christ and decided to go full out for Him and restructure their life to center around Christ.  Mary Lynn then started to regret ever praying for Jackson to become a Christian, because suddenly their life started falling apart, everything they had worked for suddenly went down the tube. 

This story should be an eye opener for all of us.  Living life as true Christians, living for Christ, shouldn’t be centered around getting a good job, having a family, and savoring the many pleasures that life gives.  Instead a life as a Christian is described as the exact opposite, we must lose our life in order to gain it and if we try to gain our life, we will only lose it (Matthew 16:25).  We must live for Christ and if that means giving all we have to serve Him, then we should do it willingly.  For this life doesn’t give the best to come, it doesn’t even give a shadow of the treasures we could receive in heaven for serving Him.


I received this book free from the publisher and am not required to write a positive review, but one of my own opinion.
