I think this book makes you aware of religious viewpoints that you have not thought about before. I also liked that the narrator wasn't afraid to say feelings that a "normal" person may feel such as feeling intimidated by your rabbi, or priest, or pastor.

I wasn't overly impressed with the book and felt it didn't compare with Tuesdays with Morrie. That being said, it did have wonderful undertones of acceptance that I appreciated even more than Albom's attempts to discuss his own faith journey (it just felt like he was a bit uncomfortable with that, despite having chosen to write a book focused on faith). Everyone liked the Rabbi's storyline much more and found ourselves wishing the Christian minister's story hadn't been included in this book. Most of the group liked the book more than I did and it did promote a really great discussion. You'll definitely get different things from it depending on your own current life situation.

This was an interesting and inspiring story of two different very men with a strong faith, but one was Jewish and the other Christian.

interesting read but forgettable. the group had very mixed reactions to it, some thought it had great religious meaning others thought it was nice but pointless
