The disaster came without you even knowing it, because you're the disaster that befell on your family.

Ok, joking aside, I used to pray from a piece of paper that my parents wrote for me. I wonder if any other parent did this.

Maybe "conversations with God" should emphasize listening rather than talking. Maybe then they'd hear Him telling them to smarten up.
What, listen to silence?

Your point is?
Not much of a point, I guess. The whole book revolves around a young man who was raised by the parental method of silence. His father never ever talks to him directly. Whenever his father wants to tell him something, he always tells another person to relay the message even though the young man is standing right there. The "chosen" is another young man whom this young man's father thought was sent by god to fill in the whole he has created in his son's life.
​
Anyway, a pretty darn good book.
