In The Advent of Time, Indignus Servus opens the eyes of his readers through a deep journey to figure out why there's evil in a world where people believe in a God who's all about love and power. The book isn't just a story; it's more like a big adventure into philosophy. Servus wants us to think about how the fall of humanity—when Adam and Eve messed up—changed everything. It's about how we make choices, why having faith is important, and trying to understand why bad things happen if God is supposed to be fair. It's all about figuring out why we're here, what love means, and how that fits into the whole picture of life, even when things get tough. This book wants us to look deep inside ourselves and think about big questions with themes on why we believe in God, why we suffer, and how love ties everything together.

What I like about this book is the way it explains the big idea of timeless existence. It's not just about living forever; it's about a whole different way of being that's hard to imagine because we're used to things starting and ending. The book shows how when people made mistakes long ago, it didn't just change them, it changed the whole world. It's fascinating to think that everything we know, including time and space, could be different because of what happened back then. This book makes me think about life and the universe in a whole new way. It's deep stuff, but the author makes it easier to understand.

What I dislike about this book is that it keeps saying that love is why God lets us go through tough times. But it doesn't talk about how people see this differently or how it helps them get through the bad stuff. Everyone handles pain in their own way, and I think knowing more about that could help someone like me. It's a bit frustrating because you end up wondering how other people deal with their struggles and if thinking about love the same way would make things easier for them or me. It feels like the book is missing a piece that could make it a lot more helpful in real life.

I gave this book a rating of 4 out of 5 stars due to Its excellent delving into the concept of timeless existence, offering a thought-provoking exploration of how past events continue to shape our present and future. The book challenges conventional notions of time and space, inviting readers to ponder life and the universe in a new light. The author's ability to elucidate complex ideas in an accessible manner makes the subject matter easier to grasp, enhancing the reading experience. The rating is affected by the book's predominant focus on one perspective regarding the role of love in overcoming adversity.

While it emphasizes love as a reason for enduring tough times, it lacks an exploration of alternative viewpoints or how individuals cope with suffering differently. This limitation may leave readers wanting a more comprehensive understanding of how diverse perspectives on love and hardship influence people's experiences. Despite this, I still recommend the book to those interested in philosophical explorations of existence and the human condition. The book was exceptionally well-edited and error-free.
