I read the review and sampled the book. It certainly is a book that makes you think about God and if He really exists or not. I love to read it.

Interesting. I’m not really into books about religion or spirituality but this sounds like it has a lot of different facets to it. Plus it will be BOTM. Thanks for your review.

Love is a fundamental theme for the world. Love is gentle, kind and forgiving. If it is not practiced in its entirety, then we will always have many problems. Thank you for your excellent review.

I'm intrigued by reading just HOW Leah decides to spread that message and also, how the other characters take that message and what they decide to do with it. I can imagine that such a message (which really is the central message for many religions) would absolutely have to intersect with politics, religion, economics and pretty much every aspect of our society. Thanks for the review.

Thanks for a great review. I have enjoyed reading this review as well. The book starts on a bad note but seems to end on a high note.

I would agree with the writer that miracles do exist. In fact, the world needs to experience more supernatural miracles so as to avoid their self-centered attitude.

So, Leah comes as a demonstration of the same.

I can certainly imagine the implications on the economy and on politics that the message "love everyone" will have, lol!

Thanks for your review! You made me want to read the book and I’m generally not into books that touch religion in any form.

I agree with Owlie's note from years ago:

The cover just doesn't seem to fit the intended message. I wonder what prompted the author to choose this art?

Very mysterious description, but at the same time quiet promising, because I like sophisticated genres with complicated plots and non- cardboard characters. Really look forward to know what will come from it))
