Wonderful book.  The message is subtle and slowly revealed as Ayot, completes three tasks to become "God" of the tribe.  The "God" of the tribe is the chief.  Before the last chief died, he selected Ayot as his replacement.  Ayot is surprised because he neither expected nor wanted this honor.  However, he desires to fulfill the trust the chief placed with him.  To become God, Ayot is required to complete three challenging tasks within a set timeframe.  Ayot struggles with feelings of inferiority as he tries to accomplish these tasks.  The heart of the story is the wisdom Ayot gains as he pushes himself to the upmost in his attempt to be worthy of the former chief's and his tribe's expectations.  A must read.
