If this is what I think it is, I have that book on hold at the library. So until they get it in, I can't answer you, but would love to see what others have to say about this book..

Me too. I would really love to hear from others. I am going to read it myself plus our youth minister is half-way through it. He also wanted to check out what the kids were reading. If you think about it, let me know what you thought of it when you're done. Thanks Carmela.

I finally read this book and I have to say I was really impressed.. Though if someone was into worshipping goddesses or religious I would suggest they read it with someone who has a better understanding of who G♥d is.
Two things did strike me as wrong though..One is G♥d serving bacon, an unclean food.. The vision Peter had in the NT was not to tell us we can eat unclean food, if that was the case then I should be able to go out and eat the poison berries off a bush..No it was more for Peter to except the Gentiles and not to be legalistic by making them go into the Jewish rituals..(Ex. circumcision) Another was G♥d calling Mack an idiot..Though man is very flawed, I can't see G♥d saying this..
Other than that, I really loved this book and hope if they do make a movie out of it, that they will not misinterpret the real meaning in this authors story..

Thanks my friend. I'm waiting for my friend to finish her copy and then she's going to let me borrow it. I've heard nothing but really good things about.

I haven't read it, sorry. I'm not sure that I could. A mom friend of mine was telling me about it. She read it with her bookclub and according to her it was an excellent bookclub choice because it stirred much conversation.
I'd be interested in knowing how you like it, gtargirl.

That's what I heard too. The book not only stirred up a lot of conversation but it really makes you think. I'm all for kids reading books that make them think and talk.
