This is the second and (so far) final book in this series. It tells the story of Barbara Everette, a suburban soccer mom who has become essentially an avatar of God. In my experience, this is a one-of-a-kind series in that it treats Barbara's religious faith just as seriously as Barbara does. This book, however, does indulge itself in a bit more humor than the first book.
Like the first book, there are three stories here. The first story involves Barbara investigating mysterious events in Chattanooga, where her friend Janea has been found in a sort of magical coma. This story was quite good. The second story involves Janea's spiritual journey while in the coma, as she finds herself at a version of Dragon Con in the astral planes. I was less impressed with this story. The third story involves Barbara and Janea hunting monsters in a system of caves. This story started off really well, but then the author took a questionable turn toward the Apocalypse. Literally. That was a bit much for me.
All in all, this is a unique series that works surprisingly well. Perhaps the author will return to Barbara Everette one day.
