4 out of 5 stars
I definitely judged this book by its cover when I bought it. The
cover (and title) were extremely eye catching to me. I had no idea it was a
Christian novel. Not that I minded, I’m
Christian, just haven’t read one in years. I can definitely see some readers
not believing Phoebe’s story if they don’t believe in God. This book did not
take me long to read and it definitely held my interest. It was a very unique
premise, well written and I felt believable. The reason being is my brother was
in a horrific accident years ago and after he woke up from his coma he
explained to our parents that he had a very realistic and visual dream. It was
not a religious “I saw God” dream. The dream was actually about him and friends
bowling, but he said it had more of a “real feeling” than normal nightly dreams.
This is exactly how Phoebe tells her story and why I could believe Phoebe’s explanation.
I definitely recommend this book to Christians and others with a belief of a
greater power.
