Summary: If you love
Review: C.S. Lewis and George MacDonald, then you will enjoy this book. Written in the tradition of the 2 authors above, this book is a beautifully written allegory about how God views us and how He would like us to view Him and of the intimate relationship He wants with all of us. This book totally turned my spiritual journey upside down! Phillips presents God as a loving Father in a way that anyone can relate to. A far cry from what has been presented from pulpits for many years. Every Christian and those who are searching for an intimate relationship with God, should read this book. This book should not be out of print!

Summary: Dittos
Review: I am in complete agreement with the Portland reviewer. This book SHOULD NOT be out of print!I served as a pastor for 4 years and recommended this book to everyone who I disclipled. It's required reading on my personal "Christianity 101" course. A word of caution: This is no fluffy devotional. Like climbing a mountain where there are many who set out for the journey, but don't make it to the top, this book is life-impacting enough to scare many away from finishing. I know some who have been hit so hard by it, they put it down saying, "I want intimacy with God, but I'm not sure I want that much." Don't do it. Climb to the summit. The view is astounding.
