He's hated and feared by his parents, his ex-wife, his children, and practically everyone he's ever met. But with the Archangel Michael as his mentor, he just might be able to help some of the people he's ruined and discover that he actually enjoys it - and that maybe there's hope for that soul of his, after all.… (more)

It is hard to express just how much I love this book and its tale of redemption. Watching the main character fall in love with God just makes my heart sing. The ripples it creates through the book's other characters is fascinating. It's a perfect rainy day book, even if the only rain is inside your heart. ( )

A good, fun read that surely uplifts your spirits. A book about redemption, reconciliation, and hope. This isn't the most fascinating book I have ever read. Some of it is downright silly. I also think Neenan's transformation was too easy to be convincing. We never really do see the earlier, nasty Neenan. However, if you can get over the premise and description of the afterworld, the book is quite fun and uplifting. Very different from the other Greeley books I have read.
In summary, I liked the book but think it could have been better. Dive me a little more tension. What if the main character was a very average, middle-class Joe?
