Helpful Score: 2

This book had a fantasic story line in the beginning. The author did a wonderful job of packing so much detail and description into even the first 12 pages. I really was into it despite the difficult subject matter, until the guy arrived at the shack and met the 3 people who represtent God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. The Bible NEVER portrays God as a female figure, but only as a father, man, male, leader, protector, provider figure.

I feel like this book gives too much support for a "universalist" type beliefe system.

By saying that God would appear to this man as a woman because he had "daddy issues" is opening the door to the idea that God my appear to one people group as Buddah, or another group as Muhammad, or any other form based on a persons own personal needs. I just really have a problem with that.

As a work of fiction, it's ok at best, but just remember, this book is not scripture.
