What a wonderful perseption of God! Something to ponder on.
Makes you think of others.
Loved it
It makes you think. You have to be able to use your imagination to get the full meaning. I thought it was great.
interesting.
Awful! Is there a “NO STAR” rating available? If you want to know about God, read your Bible, not some misguided soul’s take on a false trinity. There is really nothing redemptive in promoting a god who is a figment of one’s imagination.
One of my favorite books.
It was quite the tear jerker but I could not put it down. Despite the tears I thourouly enjoyed it.
Sorry, just can’t get past the liberties taken by the author with regard to the Trinity – maybe I’m not cool enough.
The book is emotionally hooking, but does not deliver truth about God the Father, Jesus or the Holy Spirit. If you value truth over warm fuzzies, you will hate this book. If you want truthful fantasy, I recommend the Chronicles of Narnia, by C S Lewis. If you are looking for help through a great tragedy, read Jerry L Sittser, who
lost his wife, mother and daughter in one car crash, A Grace Revealed , or his other titles.
Best book ever
I loved this book!
I did not really enjoy this book It was too New agey for me and I felt it failed to give the Holy Trinity the reverence deserved
Book of deception!
This book is inspiring and sweet. There are some very difficult things to read but if you get to the end you might be a different person.
An allegorical novel that, for me personally, really changed my perception regarding the Holy Trinity. Some of it was trite and over-done, but as a whole its message is of value.
Hard to put down. Many things to consider and think about. Very well written. Makes you want to read it at least one more time to glean more take aways.
Awesome!!! I love this book!
Not a book if you are looking for true Christian book.
It was Ok. Interesting characters. Some flawed Christian theological messages, but had some interesting ideas about the character of God. Taken as a fiction novel it was an entertaining read.
