One of the worst reads ever!

Comes close to the worst book I have ever read, and I have read a few! Very poorly written; also a soporific!

A clumsily written parable in which a bereaved father, Mack, is invited by God to the site of his daughter’s murder. When he arrives he is taken to visit the Trinity, Papa, the father appears as a black woman, the Holy Spirit as an Asian woman, Jesus as himself. Sophia also puts in an appearance as a Hispanic woman. He learns that the human desire for independence is the root of all evil, and that God only wants to heal. Implicit as a theological background is the Fall of Man and atonement on the cross. God doesn’t want rules or judgment only relationships. Mack has a vision of his daughter in heaven, is reconciled with his own abusive father, and forgives his daughter’s murderer before being returned to his normal state of existence.
