This is a short novel about a successful businessman going through a spiritual awakening. Think The Shack but a lot more run-of-the-mill. It's being touted as "inspirational parable of spiritual self-discovery" probably because its literary chops are barely enough to constitute a "novel." That said, I got through it, so it's not all bad.

There is some plot and character development (a bit uneven and unbelievable), but it's mostly a lot of Christian spirituality-speak which tries to sound conversational. Most of it is sound, occasionally it is insightful. I particularly appreciated the emphasis on God being intelligent (and therefore trustworthy).

It's cheesy in its straightforwardness and blunt in its aesthetics, and that might appeal to the audience it's intended for. There are three moments in the book where the guru-type characters talk about the Old Testament language being Greek, which, given the nature of the writing, I think was unironic and therefore a pretty big gaffe.
