What a fun book to read~!
Written in first person from a very sarcastic homicide detective who has two Christian friends always trying to "evangelize him," this book had me laughing out loud at some of Ollie's thoughts.
My favorite? (That I can remember anyway...)
"My partner doesn't just have issues, she has the whole subscription."
I really enjoyed reading the discussions between Ollie and his Christian friends. Ollie's big thing was if there is a God, why does he allow all the bad things to happen? Why do the bad guys get away? Personally, I understand that our God is the Ancient of Days, and He will judge every person for every thing they did, in the end. But, to explain this to someone who does not believe in God anyway? Not so sure how to swing that one. So reading this brought me one step closer to being able to translate heart knowledge to head knowledge.

I also have enjoyed Alcorns books! Have you read his other ones? The one you read is actually the third of a set involving some of those same characters. I just learned how to leave comments the other night and am in the process of starting my own blog. I only have 2 entries, but I'll send you the info.
I have read many of his others, definitely the first two w/ these characters, though it was a LONG time ago.. but I did. :-) And yes, I love his books!
