Title: Couldn't put it down...
Product review: I purchased this book one day after being blindsided over something happening at the church I attend. Frank Peretti is so on target with his observations about contemporary American Christian culture. He uses the main character, Travis (and his observations about the churches in town and those in Travis' background) to illuminate much of where we as Christians have strayed into "programs" and "putting on a show" and clinging to "the way things have always been done," allowing such things to take priority over our own personal relationship with Christ and the core relational action of making disciples. Catholics, Pentecostals, "mainline" Protestand denominations, mega-churches and fundamentalists all are all included in this hard look at the state of American Christianity. It is Travis' journey from disilousionment with the institution of the church to a revitalized relationship with God that is the core theme of this book.
