This is the third book I have read by this author.

Emily, is recovering from a painful breakup, dealing with a stagnating career, and struggling with her relationship with God.

Subsequently, Emily receives a handwritten card without a return address. On the back of the card there is one word in fancy lettering "Open". Inside the envelope contains a handwritten note "For a real adventure with Jesus, go thru the nearest open door."
Emily decides to open the pantry door and step inside. Next thing she knows she is sitting in a boat during a storm on the Sea of Galilee. Emily witnesses firsthand Jesus saving his disciples from drowning.
Jesus then continues to help Emily restore her relationship with God through personal experiences with notable events of the Gospels. For example, the woman at the well, Mary anointing Jesus's feet with perfume, and the resurrection of Jesus.
I loved the idea of seeing and living the significant episodes of the Christian doctrine. Additionally, I enjoyed how the entire book helped interpret Christ's teachings in a very uncomplicated fashion.
