Let It Rain Olurotimi Taiwo

Everyone hopes to get something that they like. The significance of hope is better appreciated when juxtaposed against the farmer's expectation (hope) of rain. However, when the heavens are closed the implications for that farmer become grave. The situation may be somewhat different if he gets more rain than he bargained for, leading to better cropping or a devastation of his farmland. Adequate rainfall makes the ground conducive to grow crops, and at harvest time, the farmer expects his blessings by way of a bumper harvest. OluRotimi Taiwo masterfully uses rainfall as analogy to explain a different type of rain-the spiritual rain-which everyone needs for their nourishment and sustenance. He points the reader's attention to the subtle causes of spiritual dryness and how they can be avoided. He employs simple prose to tell his story and challenges the reader's spiritual and intellectual imagination to the fullest. Even if you're not the spiritual type, Let It Rain is a worthy read and will be worth the time invested in perusing it.
