Excellent story and well written.
Reading this book has made me a better person!
It was hard to get into it but after seeing movie I was able to pick the book back up
A wonderful inspirational book! So inspiring I read it a second time. Everyone should read it at least once!
One of the best I ever read.
I have read this book twice and each time found something new. This is a great book and an easy read.
I have read 3 times and I usually do not re-read books.
When you blame all bad things that happen to you on GOD for not stopping them from happening, you should read this book. I like it so well that I watched the movie and then I bought my own copy of the movie. this is a must read/must see book/movie. I will also be buying my own copy of the book so I can make edge notes.
AWESOME!
Thought provoking
Some may find this hard to understand. Some may take this as reality rather than this guys view.
Loved this book….have read several times.
Though the book was different than others I’d read, it was a very moving book and very inspiring to those in need of spiritual help.
This book is truly an eye opening experience into your faith to bring hope and faith to your heart for what happens when are faith is strong and are passing or a loved ones passing will and can affect you. Very well written, hard to put down when you start reading. I read this book in 11/2 hours. It is also a wonderful book for a book readers group to read and discuss after all have read. There will be many different views and opinions, one of the very many things I enjoy about book readers groups.
An interesting view of the near death experience. This book forces you to access your Christian beliefs and ideas. The characters representing God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are unconventional and at first jarring but the essence and love of the three becomes comforting.
Did not finish reading the book, thought it was a mockery of God and heaven.
This book gave me an entirely different way of looking at the trinity and their interactions with us as people created by God himself . Whether you are a believer or not this book will challenge you to look at your life differently?
Not biblically correct.
If you go in reading this with the expectation that it is a literal interpretation of the Bible, you’ll walk away disappointed. But if you go in wanting to see the attributes of God described in a fresh way, you’ll appreciate the book.
A very, very good book. An inspirational tale that could open the eyes of many Christians.
