Every “good for me” book I read starts to lag about 2/3 of the way and this one did too.  But that’s a me problem.   It’s not deep theology but it wasn’t meant to be. 
Perfect reading for me right now

It was fine - too descriptive 
Overuse of adverbs 
Sometimes it was like reading a thesaurus but Zentner is a good guy and I hope he sells a jillion books

Bought this one at “Books are Magic” in Brooklyn.  This author owns the store.  I laugh/cried my way through it.   All the references - the love for the dad.   Pure gold!
