Yes, it was a little corny, but I couldn't put it down once I picked it up, and it has some very worthwhile life lessons. I strongly identified with the main character and the problems she had in relationships. The commandments "Joe" set out for her were things I also need to work on.

Written 3/2000: A look at a single woman questioning her belief in a God who has left her alone. A different was to look at God.

¿Qué decir? Empecé ayer noche el libro, muy recomendado por mi madre. Esta mañana, nada más despertarme, lo he terminado. La primera parte es bastante deprimente. Ver como alguien puede dejar correr su vida de esa forma, hartándose de todo lo que una vez fue bueno, como su vocación hasta dejar de importarle, sin más. Esa pérdida de fe en uno mismo rompe realmente el corazón.
La segunda mitad, sin embargo, es cuando la protagonista decide levantar la cabeza, deshacerse de tidi aquello que la hace daño y descubrirse a si misma. Ser quién es sin temor a nada, mostrarse a los demás como ella misma.
Me quedo, de los consejos que Joe le da a Christine, con disfrutar de cada pequeño detalle y cuidar de ti mismo ante todo. Aún tengo que trabajar, sin embargo, el no crear tantos muros y aprender a traspasarlos.
Al final, queda una novela introspectiva de la que hay mucho que aprender. Es una historia sincera, que no pretende ser más. Y la recomiendo a todos aquellos que se sientan perdidos o empiecen a entender el significado de reinventarse y conocerse a uno mismo.

I read this book about 15 years ago and loved it. Since I have so many books to read, I usually never read a book a second time, but I enjoyed this one so much that I bought another copy and had it sitting on my bookshelf for quite a few years. The book is only 147 pages, but you get so much out of those pages. How lucky Christine is to have God show himself to her in human form and guide her to having her life have true meaning and happiness.

God on a Harley with a mullet was strange at best. I'm not going for the whole I just wasn't very experienced as God when I gave the Ten Commandments thought, BUT I do agree with the loving but firm nature of God. AND the main character, Christine's journey to self awareness and fulfillment were totally worth reading the book for. Besides it is quick.
