This book asks a lot of questions about faith. I get the sense they are trying to be universal questions but end up being Christian-centric, but that may be my own bias when it comes to any Christian-centric criticism of religion. I think the book accomplishes what it sets out to do as a sort of anti-Narnia. It's beautiful. I love it a lot.
