I finished that awful, awful "book" I was posting about beforehand. This has been my first contact with "Christian speculative fiction". I sincerely hope not all of that lot are the same, because here God would basically offer things to the main character, who wanted said things and so did as God wanted; then the main character died (or would find himself in an impossible-to-escape situation) and God would rush in to the rescue and save him using miracles of some sort. On at least three separate occasions.
I'm a believer (in some uncertain form of God or another), yet I found that I was contemplating becoming an atheist just because of the amounts of bollocks inside the book.
DO NOT read this book. It gave me PTSD, and I'm not even kidding.
As a parting gift, I leave you with the cover of the second book, because of course it's a series; and with the knowledge that the author may have shelled out about $200 for EACH of these.
And here's the first one again, just as a refresher:
It can always get worse...
I'm gleefully back to re-reading the Discworld novels. Thank God they exist.
