Review: interesting premise

I am NOT a Christian, but I enjoyed the book because the premise is interesting. Some of the characters were a bit stereotypical (do we always have to have a gay priest?) but the writing was solid and the story held together. It was a bit "too much" to have Maria taking the part of Mary and I didn't really like her character, which shifted from cold fish to loving wife without sufficient explanation. Also thought the ending didn't quite hold together -- everyone clears out except for a couple, the female half of which just conveniently was a doctor, etc. Still, kudos to the author for carrying out this interesting idea as well as he did.
