Summary: fun..but not at all like utah
Review: As a non-Mormon who lives and works in Salt Lake City, this book does have a few humorous spots. But, on the whole, it is dull and predictable.

Summary: Like reading a piece of my life...
Review: I had no idea whether or not I would enjoy this book. I picked it up on a whim at a bookstore. I began reading it and I began to empathize COMPLETELY with the "hero" of the story. Here was my life story in a novel form... with a few details changed.

I began as a dissident of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints but the more I read of it and learned of it I began to believe in it... without being brainwashed as many critics of the church have tried to claim.

This book is reccomended more for Mormons and not for non-LDS readers but I think any convert to the church will find themselves in this.

Luke Manning's "mighty change of heart" is heart wrenching. And despite what other reviews might lead one to believe, you don't have to know about sports to enjoy the book. This is one book I will read again and again and again.

Summary: Sports and Religon
Review: Initially, I had my reservations about a book written about a religon; but Jeff Call does what few in his industry can, tie sports and religon together. In his book; Luke, his male lead refers to sports as the universal religon.
Style, character development, and the descriptive narration are all as formidible as to be expected of a world-class novelist.
Take a read, you wont be disappointed.
