Synopsis:
A soul-awakening novel about love, faith and family. During Phinn Reed’s romantic quest, he discovers that even through great suffering and loss, he is never alone—not ever—and that we are all eternally connected.
My review:
God tells a baby yet to be born that his name will be Phinn and offers him a menu of the things that he can pick for his life. He picks the works and God sends him down to live his life. He will not remember being with God before birth but will live his life of design.
It has been said that if I like "The Shack", that I would like this book as well. The truth is, there is no comparison. "The Menu" has its own brilliance that cannot begin to be compared. I love both but on their own merits.
In this book, Steven Manchester, has taken quite the departure from his general writings to create a spiritual book that is spectacular. Phinn's life takes the human roads we all eventually have to take: birth, maturity into adulthood, and death. Peeks into marriage and another birth are included and play a sharp casting to his overall life and thoughts about God. The characters, both main, and minor characters are so well written that I felt as if they were friends. Through it all, God is steering Phinn into the life he wanted and let's the reader know that we "are never alone."
5 stars from the heavens.
