Though this book can be tough to get through (it drags a little in the middle), I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to understand some of the issues surrounding the United States' policies on abortion and their impact on society. (For an opposing point of view, I high recommend Michael Crichton's A Case of Need.) This is not an example of Peretti's best writing, but it still offers incredible insights while remaining a compelling piece of fiction. ( )

Nothing earth-shattering here, but Peretti's works are always good for an interesting and exciting read. His characters are likable and the story solid, which I think has always been his appeal. So many people concentrate on the huge wild spiritual realm aspects of his novels (such as the angels and demons of the previous works), but I've always thought the interesting thing about him is how he puts regular people into a crisis of faith and asks them to work it out (with God's help).

That strikes me as sound fiction. And while his style isn't great, the stories are worth the telling, and they are worth the hearing. ( )

A bit different from Peretti's usual with visions of angels and demons. This book (though fiction) made me more aware that everyone has hurt and most people are still hurting. ( )
