Title: Chick Track in Novel Form
Product review: I was intrigued by the idea of a conversation with Jesus. I approached the novel knowing that it was work of Christian evangelism, but I was prepared to enjoy it. This sort of thing can be well done, and from the outset I thought it might be. Jesus is introduced as an unassuming, tender, and good-humored man, while Nick is the typical human. Unfortunately, the book's story does not last long: it soon turns into an author tract, and "Nick" becomes nothing more than a sock puppet. "Jesus" does a good job of portraying a superficially cohesive vision of Christianity, but it is one that does not stand to scrutiny. The conversation quickly becomes one-sided and shallow, doing an injustice to both Christianity by rendering it this way and to the many counter-ideas misrepresented as as straw-men. It looked to be a meaty read, but all I found was distasteful gristle.
