Pros: You’ll read this book in a flash. 

Cons: I felt like I was reading a dated or just not-my-speed version of Christianity. 

There should be tons of content warnings for this book - incest, rape, infertility, etc. 

I wished that in the end Sarah had stayed in San Francisco helping others find a better path (one that they freely chose for themselves, unlike Sarah, whose decision was made for her - even if Michael wants to say she was “free” the whole time). She seemed so purpose driven there - loved that for her.

Ultimately, everyone finds God through a different path - I just didn’t like that the first 3/4 of the book felt like the wrong way to evangelize.

Book was unnecessarily long. But, the reaction ( positive or negative) is strong. It’s brings emotion out.
