After just a few pages I was sucked into Georgia and Fairly's world and I didn't want to come out. This engaging story captured my attention from the beginning. The characters were real and believable. The style of the book was an interesting approach that paid off. Although not the book I had initially thought it would be, this book did not disappoint in the least!


Samson explores what happens if you waste your life away. I think this is what so enraptured me about this book. This is something I see every day. This is something I can personally relate to. Am I using my God given talents as God would want? Am I so focused on utilizing my talents that life is passing me by without my participation? Is it enough to simply use your talents to support a local ministry or do you constantly need to be thinking globally? Or, what happens if you waste your talent? Will God give you a second chance?


This book kept me on my toes and kept me thinking. You are forced to throw away your preconceived notions and stereotypes of a typical Christian. Is it necessary to follow traditional corporate worship to find God? Does God show up to alternate worship services?


Another beautiful thing about this book is it forces you to set aside what it means to share the Lord's Supper. Is it only the Lord's Supper if you partake in a sanctuary? Samson gives such a wonderful illustration of what it truly means to feast at the Lord's Table. What it truly means to understand and get Christ's purpose.
