The Final Summit by Andy Andrews

The Final Summit by Andy Andrews

This book might be hard for the traditionally minded Christian to handle. It is a work of fiction yet written with spiritually insights. However the insights are gained by a man who does time travel. I didn't realize it till I started to read this book that it was a sequel to another book about the same character and previous time traveling experiences. The author makes enough references to the first book in the sequel that the reader is not confused by conversations and happenings in this book that refer to the other story.

If you can put the time traveling issue aside or if perhaps that idea does not bother you this is an interesting concept. The main character David has previously based his success in life on “7 Decisions” that were given to him when he was allowed to visit 7 different historical figures through time travel. At the time in “The Final Summit”, many years have passed and now David is 74 years old and recently widowed. He is discouraged about life in general when the archangel Gabriel visits him.

David is transported to a summit where other time travelers convene to determine the fate of the earth. They are given a challenge to determine what needs to be done to help mankind be restored. During the summit different historical figures come forth and offer their advice. It is a fantastical adventure. The author weaves history lessons with spiritual lessons through the characters talking about what made them “famous” and what they learned. They give advice to David about what they think can help his generation.

I received this book free from the publisher through booksneeze.com. I was not required to write a positive review.
