Scott McElhaney has quickly become one of my favorite authors. My favorite TV show ever was the X-Files and my favorite movie is Gattaca. His brand of Science-Fiction, Time travel and speculative themes appeal to me greatly. Quite possibly, he just might be the perfect writer for my particular tastes. And as a Christian, I love his subtle and sometimes not so subtle use of Christian themes.This book falls in the latter category. I won't repeat the synopsis here, but I will say his execution was flawless. So many things examined here: Our idealized expectations compared to reality, our selfishness when faced with real adversity, our lack of faith in times of trial. Yes, this book is decidedly Christian but it has it's feet planted firmly on the earth. Spencer didn't get the Francesca he envisioned, but he did come to see her as the Lord saw her. Very Highly recommended!!!
