I LOVED this book! It is a great read, with a fascinating premise. At first I had trouble imagining a Christian fiction book on the topic of time travel, but then it hit me: in God, time is meaningless. Can he use the human notion of time for his purposes? This book imagines such a thing, with three very interesting lives.

Book that deals with the lifelong results of making decisions. Three people win a lottery, not for money but for the chance of a lifetime, the chance to go back and do it all over again - or the chance to change the course of their lives.

Good one!

My husband and I both read this one! We both really enjoyed it.
It is very hard to put down once you start so don't start it too late at night unless you don't need any sleep.

This is one of the best books I've ever read!

Three people get to go back in time and change one decision. Although you might think at several points you know how the book will end, there are a lot of surprises. The writing is surprisingly sensitive and thoughtful to the nuances of people's decisions.

I would whole-heartedly recommend this book to ANYONE.

This is a good story, however it is very Christian-based. The overall theme is that there are no random occurrences, that everything is part of God's plan. If you enjoy Christian fiction, you will enjoy this.

This was an interesting book. If you could change something in your life...and the consequences of that change. Once I started reading it, I didn't stray far from it before it was finished!

Makes you wonder what you would do if you could go back...

This book was almost impossible to put down! It didn't bog you down in the scientific aspect of the unexplainable, so it is an easy poolside read. The writer not only made me wonder what part of my life I'd like to do-over, but it made me wonder if I'd really want to choose a do-over at all. Sometimes the best thing is NOT knowing. Captivating!

This has to be the absolute BEST book that I have read in a long time! The storyline is unusual and so intriguing that you just can't put this book down until done reading! I carried this book with me all over until I
finally reached the end. Loved it....loved it.....loved it!!! Kudos to Nancy Moser for such a wonderfully well-written and exciting book! 10 stars!!!

Really enjoyed this book! It was difficult to put down and I liked how she pulled the characters together. It was very engaging and a novel approach to time travel.

What an interesting story. Not only is this book a great read, it is also thought-provoking. I think it would be an excellent choice for a novel to use in a reading circle or literary club.

3 winners of the Time Lottery get to go back into their past at whatever point they wish and have an opportunity to change some decision they made. They can also choose whether to come back or not.

Excellent book - really made me stop and think about where I would go back and do things differently if given the opportunity. I enjoyed how all the character's lives intersected and I liked all the characters with the exception of the one I wasn't supposed to like! Good read and highly recommended.

What would you do if you could do it all over again? This book makes you rethink all the times you thought to yourself, "If only..."

Great Book - make one think. What if you could go back in time and change the way you lived an event or certain period of your life? Would you? Should you?

This is an interesting premise, a way to return to the past to undo a mistake or have a 2nd chance. If you buy the premise then you will enjoy the book. Basically it tells how God can & does use everything & anything in our lives to teach us what He wants us to know & to bring us closer to Himself. 3 people are offered to go back into their own lives--a doctor, a wife, a murdered. What happens to each is an interesting tale in itself.

Time travel plots have been around for a long time but this is a new take on a genre I enjoy.

A fascinating plot and well developed story. I liked this book a lot. What a concept going back in time and revisiting a time in your life where you could have a "do over". Each of these characters have issues to revisit and evaluate. Very well written with a strong Christian message. This is one of my new favorite authors.
