This definitely sounds like an interesting and thought-provoking book. With all that's going on in the world, it sounds like this is a great message that we need to hear. If we could all put aside our differences and band together, the world would be a much better place. Thanks for a great review.

The cover illustration and the storyline of
Avam Hale’s The Message?: A thinking thriller about change and choice seem to be pointing to different directions. However, I think Leah Warner's story is a fascinating one. The review is interesting.

Very interesting premise. Not sure if I'm tempted enough or not. I've done a bit of heavy reading recently and am ready for something lighter.

I like books that make me think and entertain me at the same time. This one looks interesting. The message that God gave Leah is simple but it's much more complicated when you apply it in a world where people wants power than belief. Thank you for your review.

I am curious as to how different people and groups reacted to Leah's message within this thought-provoking story. Sounds interesting and different. Thanks for the good review!

I enjoyed your review of this book even though I do not ascribe to any particular religious faith. I can see how this book would make you think about important religious or philosophical ideas like if there life after death? I like stories that people who unwittingly become a part of something that is bigger than themselves. I also like that the author shows that people who believe in science can also be religious.

I’m really not a fan of books with strong religious overtones, but I appreciate that the author really tries to provoke though and discussion with this book. I think I’ll skip this one, but I greatly enjoyed your review!

I like the fact that this work is rather challenging. The basic message of love and selflessness is pivotal to the sound health of all and sundry if imbibed. I commend the author for this insightful and thought - provoking novel. I must say I equally liked the review as well.

The book has got a "eye catching cover" but it's not so interesting, as well as its flow. Good review though.
