This book has sold millions. Personally, in the stores I have worked, I would estimate that I have myself sold over 500 copies. The author came in and found I had not read it. He basically begged me to read it. So eventually, I did. It's always good to have talking points, afterall...
The beginning was slow and dreary. The middle held some interesting metaphysical experiences, which were, for me the significant part of the book, even though they were pretty fluffy. The end sucked.
This book appeals to those who are insecure in their faith, who are filled with fear but not willing to admit to it. Not a tome of depth or great meaning, the only reason to read it is so you can converse with others in your book club or Sunday School class if they choose it as a topic.
I have not previously reviewed books I did not like, but I think it is unfair not to do so.
