This title made me laugh. It definitely got my attention, and so I had to check it out. The book looks like it might be funny, but maybe that's just the nuance of the title. I've read a few Christian fiction books, which have all been really good. I will have to give this one a try.

I loved the book. The pastor is an amazing man, full of love, compassion and courage. His relationship with his wife is depicted very realistically, where she sometimes has to take second place to his work. There is a supernatural aspect, but it is a mystery suspense novel. I love how the pastor starts every day spending time with God, before he lets the rest of the world in. It's a great read!

I gave this book a perfect rating because it was one of the best books I have read. The author skillfully keeps the suspense and mystery flowing throughout the storyline. I also enjoyed the many life lessons that the storyline provides.

I usually don't read Christian-related books, but this one was pretty good, and at times, humorous.

It’s a good book generally. I’d rate it 5/5. The story features a mix of themes; suspense, faith based leadership challenges, paranormal events, and some ethical issues. I also enjoyed the character realism. It’s a book that will keep you glued and peak your interest yet real. A good job by the author.

Just because a book is chosen for the "BOTM" does not automatically mean that I will enjoy it. Popularity does not equate personal choice. For example, take the current President of the United States. My opinions are my own and not based on popularity. As stated, I will give this one a try, in my own time.
