Avam Hale's Novel The Message? Is a great book, telling a story of a widower with two children, who gets involved in a tragic car accident, which sent her to coma. After three weeks she got healed and her neurologist was amazed on her speedy recovery. While she was in coma she claimed that she had been with God, and God sent her back to share a simple message to the world that he loves everyone unconditionally, and He wants everyone to set aside all worldly possessions and achievements and just love each other as well. But her message gets mixed up with politics, philosophy, religion and economics.

Thanks for the review! The premise already sounded quite interesting, but I was not entirely convinced as to the depth of the issues in question, especially with a relatively short extension. I think I'll give it a try...

Very nice review! Sounds like a riveting book. You definitely got my attention when you mentioned Dr.Marcus. It's always awesome to find a likable character in a book. I'll definitely be exploring this book. Because you mentioned it's not a light read I'll have to clear my shelves before I get deep into this one.Thanks for your review!

I am wary of religious content usually but this one actually sounds really interesting. I actually really liked the cover too, which seems like others did not. This has intrigued me!

Thanks for the review. It might not be a light read or a beach book, but it has an interesting premise and I like the fact that the author doesn´t push a specific agenda.
I´ll definitely add it to my want-to-read shelve.

Thanks for the review. It is interesting to read how a simple act can weave multiple individuals and can mixed up into different organizations. I liked the challenge the author gives to the readers and able to fulfill it. Congrats on BOTD.

I am not sure where this story is going but that is what is intriguing about it. It was good the way the author interspersed the philosophy class discussions about the nature of God with Leah's awakening. In the sample reading that was given, Leah, the experiencer, was beginning to doubt her own knowledge which is a natural response to such a bizarre event. The writing stimulated my curiosity and it sounds like a good introduction to a great screen play.

"The eye" is the, most suitable picture because the eye is a symbol that represents everything that we see. An interesting premise. I like a good book that challenge me. Thank you!

This book is really entertaining. It will make you think about religious, political, economic, and philosophical ideas. The author is certainly have enough knowledge and did appropriate research to discuss a variety of issues. However, I never felt like the book promoted any specific religious or political agenda. It was simply a very insightful, fictional story of how one woman came to believe in God from her own experience. 

I will give this book rating of 4 out of 4 stars. There were some errors throughout the book,but these errors didn’t decrease the quality of the writing. They especially didn’t take away from my enjoyment of the story as a whole.

The eyes are a tunnel to the soul and this book is telling about the soul . I felt very well after reading this book . Nicely expressed the story.

well isn't this interesting, I like how the author chose to make her not endorse any religion although she technically could point it out. It sounds like an interesting read and I'll be honest the sample left me underwhelmed but I guess that's why you need to read the book to really get it. Thanks for the informative review.

Good review in endorsing this book for a read. May I just comment that I don't believe the cover is creepy at all. The eye is the window of the soul so it's just appropriate for the theme of the book that uncovers one's soul after an accident, meeting God and all to send the divine message for humanity.

The depth of the topic is interesting. Not proclaiming any religion as the best or any political agenda to promote.
Kudos to the author by standing on neutral ground.
