Helpful Score: 5

A pretty good story - a man who has pretty much given up his faith after the violent death of his young daughter receives a mysterious note from God inviting him to meet. No idea why this book would be considered controversial, yet also no idea why it could be deemed dramatically life-altering either. Some of the interactions between God and Mack kind of had me rolling my eyes, as those parts seemed a little cheesy to me - like the cooking and such, but I think there are messages of value here concerning faith and religion, and the difference between the two, and that I really liked. Love the way Jesus is represented in this book. It's an easy read, but frankly kind of boring in the middle, especially considering the book is about something extraordinary, but the last chapter or so is emotional and spell-binding, and that sort of "redeems" (ha-ha) the book.
