I like the way the review is written. I love reading books that contain visions and dreams of people. When people go to coma a lot of psychological thrills run in their brains and souls.

This book is definitely not for me but those of the Christian faith may find it enjoyable. It intertwines religion, politics, and philosophy. Congrats on book of the day! Great review!

Sounds like a very interesting plot indeed. I don't like the reference to God or how the book will make me think about religious, political, economic, and philosophical ideas. I applaud the author for coming up with and writing the very interesting plot and characters though.

Thanks for the review. The book does sound interesting and all. Am also interested in Leah Warner final outcome concerning the message. Nice book cover. It's eye-catchy, but why an eye?

When I first read your summary of the book I thought it was a self-help book, but the fact that it's actually fiction seems really interesting

Thanks AlynnPowers for your review. I enjoyed your openness.

I found the sample reading to be very intriguing and I believe I will enjoy the rest of this book. The characters were interesting and I liked the mixture of philosophy and faith.

Great review. It sounds like a deep and complex book. But isn’t that the message of all religions?

While in comma, Leah had seen God who sent her back with a simple message to share with the world: He loves everyone unconditionally, and He wants everyone to set aside worldly possessions and achievement and just love each other as well. When she shared her story, her message got mixed up in philosophy, religion, politics, and economics even though she did not endorse any particular religious affiliation. I don't know what to say regarding this issue other than the message she spread was already in the Holy Books. I mean to say, it's not a new message.

A lot of hmmms, hmmm???? I think I'll give it a read considering it seems like it doesn't delve into one specific religion. That story seems interesting so I'll give it a chance.
