This book was originally published to be used as a discussion started for small groups. So, it is interesting that it ended up at Amazon in the Novel's section.
The authors intention is to make a statement. People strive after their own glory with the dream that it will make them happy. They avoid God or the fully giving of themselves to God because instead of happiness they believe that God wants to take everything from them and in return give nothing good back.
Micah Taylor has everything the world promises. He is the successful founder and President of a software company. He is young and already worth 60 million dollars. He has a beautiful girlfriend. He has everything he could want. So what is missing?
The missing thing is the peace and love he felt previously in life when he walked with God.
The novel deals with the battle of whether Micah can serve two masters, God and mammon. If he chooses God what will it cost him? Maybe everything.
This is a classic tale of the innermost battle tap hat we face, serve ourselves or serve our creator. The concepts brought out in this book would give a good platform for a discussion group. I kind of believe that was the point of the book in the first place.
I enjoyed the book. It gave me pause to think about some things in my relationship with God.
Again I believe that if you are seeking God you will enjoy this book. If you want nothing to do with God, then you will be disappointed.
