review 1: The book reads more like a series of short articles that lead us through the life of someone that really did not believe in God and didn't live a life that would make you think he needed to search for Him either. Yet, his story really shows that God is real and tangible in a life that may appear to not have needed any help on the surface. The writer, who is a pastor now, shows his creativity as someone that has been a playwright (and still is a writer now) with the life stories he shares. A good short read that invites discussion.
review 2: I think this book is really unique on its take on faith and what it means to follow Jesus and not so much to be a "Christian" and someone who has loved Jesus for years but struggled with the label of "Christian" and all t... morehat brings with it in this country. I loved his take on centered set theory (you'll have to read it, I can't explain just here)and how I or anyone can follow Jesus, get the good stuff ie relationship with him, and not have to adopt the Christian culture. I love it and I find it more true each day!Disclaimer: I also attend the Greater Boston Vineyard and know Dave. less
