Amazing!
A metaphorical story of God’s love.
Just amazing!
Great book
Wonderful book and movie. Made me think…
After reading this book, I seen a different side of the Trinity that I had never before seen. The characters are so real. I highly recommend this book to everyone!
Probably one of the best books about Faith and God and Forgiveness that I have ever read. Read it twice and can’t wait to see the movie!
Very thought provoking.
Read it years ago and still is my favorite book.
This is one you cannot put down.
Demonstrates the power of forgiveness and provides a different perspective on relating to God. Watch the movie first then read the book.
Omg. What a story. Couldn’t stop reading till the end. Good thing I had the day off, because I actually finished the book in a day.
Think outside the religious box! Don’t box a God in by bringing Him to our level. He loves us so much, He’ll use whatever means necessary to get our attention. My theological beliefs could argue this one, but I put them aside and allowed God to speak to me through this story! It’s a favorite.
I loved this book it was slow at first ,but then i could not put the book down. It allowed you to see God in a different way , as a personal God.,
