I think the story was well orchestrated in that there are one on one conversations with God that make it feel very personalized for the reader. It's a very emotional tale and I must admit to having cried through many parts of the book. As for the theological aspects, well...i might be a little over educated on this subject to fully appreciate it. I felt that the analogies were overdone and in his attempt to simplify certain concepts, he became wrapped up in details and wound up overdoing it. For me personally, i didn't learn anything new from this book. I very much enjoyed the story, though it became a bit tedious in places that he tried to over explain.

I don't want to discourage anyone from reading this book. I would definitely recommend it. The message is a good one and just because it wasn't necessarily MY cup of tea doesn't mean that it wouldn't be someone else's. A teacher understands that different people learn in different ways. What one person may think is confusing another may think is elementary..and another may have a light bulb go off in their head. I would say that this book is a must read just for that alone.
