Great review! You perfectly summed up what I was thinking. I went into this expecting one thing and got something totally different, in the best way. You're so right that it's more of a "thinking thriller" than a straight-up religious book. The way the author explored how society would actually react to a message like Leah's was fascinating and felt very real. So glad I read this one.

I appreciate seeing this message from God "He loves everyone unconditionally, and He wants everyone to set aside worldly possessions and achievement and just love each other as well." This seems more logical than comments like God will punish non-belivers. I would defintely enjoy reading this book especially to see how philosophy, religion, politics, and economics play a role in the lives of all Americans.

Avam Hale's book is one of many that reveals that miracles do happen in certain instances and beyond human comprehension.
"The Message?" by Avam Hale presents a very insightful, fictional story of how one woman came to believe in God from her own experience. This is a book with depth of meaning, and would benefit people inclined to such.

The eye on the cover of "The Message?" by Avam Hale was what caught my attention. What was it trying to reveal? After reading the sample and the review, I was struck by the profound theme of divine miracles. Despite this being fiction, the book beautifully illustrates how God works in mysterious ways, using anyone as a messenger to achieve His purpose. I appreciate the insightful review.

Near death experiences and subsequent changes it brings is something multiple men & women around the world have written about. This narration seems to offer one step more, ie. the consequences and hence looks interesting.

Latest Review: Stevie Tenderheart Books WAIT A MINUTE! (An Illustrated Novella) by Steve William Laible

Post by Bettny Andrade »

First of all, I love the cover of this book. It definitely caught my attention. It's a biography about life and death, especially after her near-death. It brings us a message that invites reflection based on her lived experience. The author wants to, at least, sow a little thought within the reader so that they begin to ask themselves certain questions, with the goal of asking themselves certain things and thinking about improving certain aspects.

Great review, which made me grab a free sample of this book in a hurry. And considering that usually I don't read literature in any kind related to religion, it is not a small deal at all. The book really sounds pretty intriguing, highlighting how the same event as a coma can be a tragedy for her children and a miracle for doctors and how easily any good idea could be subjected to speculations. I almost pity that this book is not free to get it right away and start reading immediately!
