I quite enjoyed this.

It took me a while because the chapters are stand alone. Also, I wanted to sit and think about the different topics and things they said in between chapters.

Not much to this book. I would say it acts as a reminder for those with a Christian faith that there is something better to come; a book of encouragement.
However, I did enjoy the delivery of the lessons - being told in the form of letters. And to have multiple personalities writing said letters also adds to the strength of the message.

This was different than most of Jack Cavanaugh's books in that it wasn't really a novel. It was interesting and had a few good thoughts, though it was not as entertaining as most.

Very well done. Some great lessons, but in a form that is more casual. It's peers talking to peers instead of teacher to student.
