Things thought but usually not said...

I love reading material such as this because it shows that some (religious) omissions are being noticed and some people - like this author - are willing to say what other people are most likely thinking.

This short story was really well written and asked the right questions in non-threatening ways.  Using the Catholic Church's historical documented "way" of dealing with things they deem inconvenient, is a great backdrop for this novella.

I will reiterate the "WARNING" LOL.  Catholics take note: This story does bring up some points that are valid but could be upsetting if approached without an open mind and, of course, remembering this is a work of fiction and the history of Catholicism (and its, um... issues) is well-documented.

Book was good, and held my attention, but too much was unsaid or unexplained until the very end, when it was all wrapped up in a nice neat package.

George reminds those of us who lead people, that it's not enough to communicate "what" to do, it's as, if not more important to know "how" to communicate our messages to our people. Too often, with today's speed of information and metrics, we forget the importance of engaging people on a human level. We have to recognize the impact our conversations have on people.
Thanks for reminding me George!

I found an answer to questions that sometimes seem perhaps I shouldn't ask, yet still creep into my mind, unwanted.

Lately I have found more than enough to answer any questions that may be worth asking.  It's just my faith that is somewhat rather less than needed.  There are some other things I'm finding that are just not that important anymore.

Listened to this on my commute and was disappointed when I arrived at my destination, often lingering a bit longer in the car just to hear the end of an idea that was being presented. I have thought of it often since listening to it, and been to the author's website for additional resources.

Some things need to be written, and some things need to be spoken about.  The book addresses issues common to most of us Veterans but are too often suppressed.  This book gives some insight into a very special need, and very special people.

While finding and reading this book, strange things occurred. I was meant to find and read this book. .....But why! I have yet to learn.
However I will try to learn more and perhaps become a seeker. Thanks

Thought triggering. Is not true that something like that seems to be happening?
Where are we heading to?
Good reading!

Covers some topics I have not read in other novels which was interesting and enlightening; makes one look at some decisions people make in a little different light

Intriguing book...only two chapters in but fascinating thoughts in a subject not many people are discussing. Curious to finish reading this authors thoughts

Enjoyed the book, although I did find it a bit repetitive at times, therefore the book did not always hold  my interest.
A lot of thought provoking material though to keep your mind busy between the slow parts.

I am not completely sure that I could recommend this book, as I disagreed where the author ultimately led the reader, BUT I did find it thought provoking enough to make me think. It definitely raises some positive points of discussion. It reminded me of how much we do merely mechanically, without being truly moved and directed by more than just black words on white paper, merely repeating what we have previously heard, or pridefully arguing the point to prove we are right, because we are supposed to do, say, and believe certain things. Have we forgotten that we are indwelt by the Holy Spirit, that we are to have a relationship with the Father through Christ?

I give the book 3.5 stars. There is a lot of dialogue -which may turn some readers off- and I felt like some of it didn't flow or materialize (at least in my mind) as good as it should or could have. Sometimes the characters seemed passionate, yet shallow at the same time (not sure how better to put into words). Maybe like watching a theological discussion without sensing all of the deep emotion and spirit within those speaking at the same time. It definitely was not a bad or poor read, I just felt at the end it could have been better (or more might be a better word I'm looking for). However, remember this review is only one man's opinion.

Many good reminders and thoughts to live by are expressed I. This

Many goods thoughts and themes to live by are expressed in this book.  Many people try to blame others for the situation instead of taking personal responsibility.

This (story?) us all something to think about. No that far off, maybe or could it be happening now? Dean Koontz always has something new to awake some of your inner thoughts.

Ok...needs more discussion about God throughout the book...not just at the end.  Sometimes a little hard to figure out what is happening.

Very interesting book, which addresses a topic people don't talk much about in public

Daily or so, I read the Thoughts for the day.  Sometimes, the scrips are difficult to read.
