This book had a multitude of characters, but none of them was developed fully. It was hard to keep the many characters straight. I had to keep referring to the earlier chapters to see who I was reading about. One of the major subplots was left completely unresolved. And the book was extremely preachy. I found myself skipping over a lot of the text to get back to the story. I can't help comparing this book to the Mitford books by Jan Karon, which are also about a small town and its population. Jan Karon is a storyteller. The author of this book is preaching a sermon. If that is what you are looking for, fine. But if you are looking for a good story, I would not choose this book.

I loved this book so much that I read it in two days - and I'm a slow reader. If you're looking for a story with your typical romance, mystery or action and adventure, this isn't the book for you. This theme of this book is simple: "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." Although it was not the typical adventure or love story, that's exactly what it is. It is about the best love relationship of all - the one with God - and the most interesting adventures - how a person comes to know the Lord. So, if you're looking for Stephen King or Danielle Steel, don't read it. But if you're searching for meaning in your life or are a Christian who needs some inspiration in their witnessing, I would give this book five stars.

I have read many of Michael Phillips books and have loved each one. This is no different. A wonderful book about real people and real lives. I recommend it when you have a little time for a good book.

I bought this book for my mother. There is no photo listed. When I received the book, it only had a few pages and was one of 13 tiny books. I had to re-order the correct UPC to get the complete book. Be careful which UPC you order.
