The Final Summit - Interesting but lacking

A couple of disclosures to begin;

I received this book free from the publisher through the BookSneeze.com book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

This is my first encounter with Andy Andrews, this book is a sequel but you do not need prior knowledge of Mr. Andrews other writing to follow this book

When I first started reading “The Final Summit” by Andy Andrews I was horribly disappointed due to the severe breakdowns in many aspects of Christian theology.   Right away I will say that if you are reading a book and regardless of whether it is fiction or non-fiction having the author take liberties with theology bother you then do not read this book.

I however promised to read this book in its entirety to be able to comment.  Because of this I had no choice but to continue to read.  What I found was a book that was historically educational (hopefully accurate) as well as entertaining and thought provoking.

The story is that a common man David Ponder is taken away from Earth by the archangel Gabriel and leads a summit of some of the most powerful and well known people in the history of the world, highlighted by Joan of Arc, Winston Churchill, Abraham Lincoln, George Washington Carver, and a far lesser known Eric Erickson.  These men and woman are to determine what it is that society must do to return to the path.

While the story drags at times the ending is very thought inducing and I must agree with the conclusion of the Summit.  The personal declaration at the end is something that all mankind should endeavor to strive for.
