Mack's daughter is murdered and he's bitter and questions how God could let that happen. Ultimately, he goes back to the place of the murder to meet God. He gets there and God is a black woman who goes by the name Papa, Jesus is a Middle Eastern, Jewish man, and the holy spirit is an ever moving almost transparent Asian woman.

Mack learns why he feels the way he does and how to work through his feelings. He learns that he's judgemental, selfish, etc. Some say that this book is about Christianity and getting closer to Christ but I disagree. I am not a Christian and I could relate to the book because I have questioned the "motives" of God. Who hasn't? Jesus even states in the book that God loves everyone and everyone worships the same God (Muslims, Christian, etc.). He also has to remind Mack that he's not a Christian himself.

This book is for everyone. You don't have to be Christian to appreciate the lessons.
