If you are willing to explore the way someone else sees God - someone that sees God differently than many evangelicals - then you may enjoy it. The plot (it could be argued there isn’t a strong story line) is a means for the author to talk the trinity. I loved it - I didn’t necessarily find myself agreeing with everything the author stated, but I found myself thinking about God and my relationship with God, a lot. (less)
