Hi, I hope that many of you have read this book. I just finished it the other night and have been recommending it to others. One person thought that the ending was a surprise. I didn't think it was. Wondered if others thought it was a surprise? It made sense to me since papa had asked Mack if he wanted to stay. It is a wonderful way of reading about the Christian theology without it being a text book. By being in a story format it is easy to read. But read it slowly and don't try to speed read the book. Love to hear comments. Since the above email is out of date please just use this message board to reply.
