The cover looks scary. I would have to be in the mood for a thriller which lately I am not. Great job with the review.

I agree with your review - just from the sample I read, this book indeed has a cast of interesting characters and some deep, thoughtful matters to think about, such as the Teleological Argument. At first I found it rather dry, but when Leah came onto the scene I suddenly got the point of the book and was hooked! Congratulations on having your review featured.

As an agnostic, leaning towards atheism, I am always interested in religious arguments so this book does sound interesting. Being fiction, however, I suspect that it will tend to support whatever the author believes to be true. Nevertheless the reveiw makes it sound interesting and certainly, controversial. He characters involved also sound that it will make engaging reading, although, I suspect, that the story is loaded in favour of the existence of a God who is somewhat active in the affairs of humans. I enjoyed the reveiw and perhaps the book may be interesting.

I loved the sample of the book and the review. It's going to the top of my "to read" list. These are questions we all ask again and again, and put aside because they are so difficult to answer. But here is another interesting perspective, and I can't wait.

Thank you for your review. How fitting that a woman so meek was chosen to relay God’s simple message of love. My goodness! How we tend to complicate and overanalyze things that are truly straightforward and uncomplicated. I can only image what issues ensued. Thanks again for your assessment.

I really enjoy reading this book as I am a Christian and I understand the gravity of the message that was sent to the world through Leah. Truly, "The Message?" by Avam Hale is an exceptional book. Thanks for this one!

The message behind this novel seems really nice. Even if it's simple, it's still important. I would love to find out more about the other themes and messages that are in this book. Great review!

An insightful fictional story that "will make you think about religious, political, economic, and philosophical ideas" sounds a must-read for fans of the genre! Not sure it is for me, but I am glad you found the characters interesting! Fans of political thrillers should check it out! Thank you for the detailed review!

Yeah, I thought that the eye was creepy until I read the review. It actually sounds like a good book! I shouldn't have judged a book by its cover lol.

I'm sure it's great for Christians, and it seems like it would be great for anyone too! It sounds really good!

This book starts out amazing! After reading the review, I think it will continue to be intriguing. I love the fresh idea of a person waking from a coma with a message but no ulterior motive, just deliver the message. Now, to decide where to put it on my reading list! Sounds like a good one.

I find books that you question all the way until the very end, very interesting. It's nice not only just read a story but to figure it out.
