A Conversation with God - book review

"A Conversation with God" by Alton Gansky

"A Conversation with God" is a book full of questions that many people ask or think about with Christianity. The unique aspect of this book is that the questions are answered by God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and other Biblical prophets and apostles such as Stephen and Paul. When I first realized the format of the book, I was a bit cautious because I thought it was quite bold of the author to answer as God or Jesus. However, due to the numerous scriptural references, I quickly became more enthralled and educated from the author's answers. I appreciated that the author used scripture from the Bible to back up all of his answers. I also enjoyed reading the answers to the questions from multiple perspectives. The questions were also well-written and there were even a few questions included I hadn't heard asked before in Christianity. Overall the book was well-written and supported by scripture but easy and interesting to read.
