First and foremost, I have to say that I really enjoyed reading this book. Obviously we all have our own beliefs about God, so some of the ideas may hit us each differently. Did I agree with the way every idea and assumption about God was presented? No, but I also found some new insights and did app...

While the message is good, at times it felt a bit chessey. Overall though, the message makes up for the negatives.
