I didn’t expect to like this book as much as I did. Over the years its reputation had me steer clear of it as a book I would not enjoy or that it was for ‘others’.
Upon reading the book I found many passages that were beautiful to read and inspiring to learn from. The entire story is a parable and if questions and conversations surrounding faith and purpose are not your cup of tea - I would advise you to avoid this book.
If however you need something to inspire you, to give you a renewed sense of purpose this might be the book for you.3
