the god cookie: a novel by Geoffrey Wood
An owner of a coffee shop tells God that he is ready to listen and tells Him he is "all in." The messages from God lead him on an adventure.
NCLA Review - Parrish, Mason, and Duncan are three friends who haven’t yet settled down with wives and families. Parrish owns a coffee shop and employs Mason and Duncan, though it seems like they spend more time shooting the bull than working. One day Parrish asks the others if they believe in God, and confides that he thinks God gave him an assignment in a fortune cookie. The message is cryptic, of course, but despite his pals’ scoffing, Parrish tries to do what he thinks the message directs. There is a you-got-to-be-kidding tone to this novel, but it depicts one man’s engaging adventure in trying to obey God. The God Cookie is a curious mix of humor, theology, romance, and the coffee culture—a nice vehicle for exploring how God communicates with 21st-century people and what obeying God might entail. It provides food for provocative discussion, appealing mostly to young adult readers. Rating: 3 —DKW… (more)
Quirky, funny, and good-hearted. A little too short, with a less-than-booming climax, but I’m hoping it’s the beginning of a series.
Maybe it's just me, but I just didn't care for Leaper. I didn't like the main character, and I just never understood the angst going on. And I didn't think it was terribly witty as was advertised. I quit about 1/3 of the way through, but recognize that the latter half may be better than the first half. Hence the two stars instead of fewer stars.
