It's a good thing the author remains neutral in the religious and political aspects. Otherwise, this may discourage readers to read the book. However, providing a good argument about God in the book may encourage the readers to believe in Him. Thanks for the review!

Wow. This book was actually reviewed a while ago.

Great review. It covered the main plot in a short and sweet manner. I like the disclaimer on how this isn't a "light read." I like books that make you think, and this sounds like a great one.

I am loving the book cover and it appears to be something I would enjoy reading it. I appreciate the honesty in its review and really like the fact that the person comes out of a coma healed and changed! HOW EXCITING :0

Thanks for the interesting review. I found the cover to be very eye-catching (no pun intended lol). I don't think that this will be a book I check out though. I'm not typically into books that make me think or are philosophical or religious.

Thanks for this review; it has me most interested in this book. Discussion of God divorced from religious biases is very interesting to me. Plus I love the idea of a person returning from a coma and bringing divine message with her. Looking forward to reading this book.

I love stories that make me think, but have a big think against religion so I'm going to have to miss this one, Thanks for the great review.

This book sounds right up my alley. I love when books make you think and Leah's seemingly-simple message from God is one that I could get behind but I also see the potential problems others may have with it. I'll add this to my list for when I have the time to fully digest it. Thank you for the insightful review.

The review is great as it analyzes the intent or motive of the author--whether the book intends to promote any religious belief--which it does not. The main character, Leah, is obviously the means by which the author conveys the message about what God wishes humans should do but without endorsing a particular system of religion, philosophy or belief which is great as discussion on religious beliefs can usually be the breeding ground of deep conflict..

The concept of someone coming from the dead with a message from God is quite interesting. Great Review.
