Not Your Ordinary Coffee Shop

This is a short, light story that covers some heavy topics–marital infidelity, an unplanned pregnancy followed by a rushed marriage along with unforgiveness towards spouses and parents.   It also contains humor, including some eccentric characters and a very clumsy angel who comes to earth in human form.  This all takes place in a coffee shop with a blog that appears to have a direct connection to God–where everyone can ask one question each, and receive a direct answer from the Almighty.

Wow–that covers a lot of ground!

Yes, it does, but the author is able to weave all these subjects together into a moving tale that will pull you in from the first page.  We meet Chelsea Chambers who is trying to rebuild her life as a single parent, while trying to re-start the dying business she inherited from her mother.  At the same time, she is trying to help her children adjust to their family not having their father living with them anymore, and, unlike her sister, does not believe God has all the answers.

This is the first work of fiction I have read by this author, and I really enjoyed it.  He pulled together a lot of issues taking place in our current society, gave them a light touch, and showed how God’s message is just as relevant for today, and its issues, as it has ever been.  This is a non-predictable 5-star book with a great ending.  I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good story.

What if you could ask God anything? What would you ask? And how would He answer?
