"I think you misspoke."
Rama was putting books away when she found a pamphlet, the Book of Luke. The story called to her. She asked Bipin about it, and he brought home a missionary to answer her questions. The missionary said she believed in Jesus she would have eternal life. This excerpt is Rama's reaction. Rama is about to enter a new stage in her life. One that would last longer than her marriage.
Book Excerpt
Rama's Labyrinth: A Biographical Novel (Women of Determination and Courage)
Rama’s mouth dropped open. She felt something roil inside as her life’s disillusions rose up to her throat like vomit. Her father serving Lord Krishna, dead of starvation. Her brother destroying his health for Lord Hanuman, dead in an instant. And this man, this missionary, claiming that anyone who believed in his god would never die. Color rose in Rama’s cheeks.
Bipin put a calming hand on his wife’s arm.
“Reverend Allen, I think you misspoke. I’m sure you meant to say eternal spiritual life.”
