"The Final Summit" by Andy Andrews is a captivating piece of fiction with a creative and brilliant plot concerning the one principle that will save humanity. David Ponder, the main character, reflects and ponders his own life in a state of sadness when suddenly the archangel Gabriel appears to him. Gabriel then travels with him to The Final Summit where David is posed with the question being what is the one principle that will save humanity. He must answer this question with the guidance of other historical figures in only two words. The book includes thoughtful and insightful conversation between David and famous historical figures such as Joan of Arc, Abraham Lincoln, King David, and George Washington Carver as they seek out the answer to the one thing that will save humanity.
I was able to read this book in three days and found the conversations to be inspiring and insightful. Although the conversations between the historical figures were fictional, the author included many real quotes spoken by the people. The history of all the characters were also claimed to be factual by the author. I highly recommend this book to others due to its creativity and dialogue. However, I would caution the reader that the book is fictional despite the references to the Bible and history. I feel that it is the author's own thoughts and experience that shaped the dialogue and I didn't always agree with how some of the Biblical figures responded (such as King David). However, knowing its a fictional account makes it an interesting read and can cause great thought and conversation with others.
