I read the book back in January. I felt it was absolutely outstanding. The author is writing about an experience that really happened to the main character, but they had to call it fiction because no one could prove or disprove it. It was a fantastic story of forgiveness and shows a parent in his most raw and vulnerable moments, which we can all relate to. Pain/death/unjustifiable heartbreak is just part of the broken covenant in the Garden! There is no quoted scripture in the book. It does not claim to be a Biblical reference. At no point reading that book did I feel that my biblically-based values were in question. The author does a beautiful job of painting a picture, if that's even possible, of how the Trinity might work as three in one. I've always struggled with picturing how this could work and this book gave me a small glimpse. The Author, through this guys' testimony, fantastically addresses how God meets our innermost needs and pours his grace upon us at just the right times in His perfect way. All of that can be backed up with scripture! Jesus did not invent 'religion'. He taught his disciples how to follow Him/God/Holy Spirit and he did it through relationship and meeting people's needs. He got in the trenches with His people. He got in the boat! This book depicts a beautiful example of God coming down to get in the boat with us-- to comfort and woo us back to Him all while giving us free will. The minute we lose our humility and think we fully understand the depth and breadth of every God-breathed Word in scripture, we are guilty of thinking we are omniscient! I think it's worth the read! I was encouragement to my journey of faith. I'm sure the movie, which I haven't seen yet, doesn't do it justice as movies never do, LOL, but I'll go anyway. God be with you all.
